Thanks for the encouragement, WMU and Lena. My biggest issue is that when I picked up quilting again after a 20-year hiatus, we were in a pandemic so I turned our dining room into my sewing space. Now that we're carefully opening our house to visitors again, I can't really have my stuff "out and about" like I did when we were living in lockdown. I love the idea of having a sewing room, but am fully aware that the fact that I don't is the only reason I'm not currently drowning in fabric!
I like the ideas you have shared and while I have worked with similar strategies (only keep at hand what you need and have small goals), I've slipped a bit and let things get out of hand. I think my goal for today is going to be to find at least one of my other stitch rippers and to try to tidy up the bits I run into while I search. :-)
Happy Friday!
