Neatnicks that want me to be one! I sew with abandon...I drop pins, I have threads wound in my chair wheels, I sew til late late late at nite, I don't pick up my project ingredients when I am finished and I don't put the cap back on the spray adhesive right when I am done! I do clean up when I get to the point that I can't step over it any more, I am very very organized (drawers and bins all have labels) and I can put my hands on anything I need...even when it is strewn all over the room...but I don't want to have to think about clean up while I am creating! Leave me alone...let me create...I can clean later (any fool can clean, it takes a genius to create art!).
Oh, this is SO me!! I realize that some people feel distracted or stressed out by mess, but I am the exact opposite! A messy space is a comfortable & creative space for me and clean spaces stress me out!
And, like you, I'm messy yet organized. I know exactly where everything is, and eventually things DO get put away. When I'm DONE with them! Thankfully I have my own sewing room so I can leave things wherever I want to (and that probably goes a long way to keeping my marriage happy!)
MY space + MY mess = MY creative zone! LOL
As to what I'd get rid of...I think I'm going to throw in another vote for "aging". I'm still young(ish) and I'm already thinking I will never live long enough to try all the things I want to try! (Especially if you consider non-quilting things!)

The fact that my fur babies can't help me sandwich anything...I know they think laying or sitting on it helps...:D

Marking pens that either don't disappear as they say they should and pens that disappear before you've had a chance to thread the machine!
