Now, if you want to talk about where I "fail" ... it's cooking ... I can cook - I just hate cooking. So my meals are mainly salads. I make a huge salad every sunday and that's what I have for supper every night LOL

Your cutting space looks awesome!

I did a big declutter at Thanksgiving, so the family could come and actually use the dining room to gather and eat! (It's my "downstairs" sewing room the rest of the year). I tend to put stuff away as soon as I'm finished with it, so it's still nice and orderly (more or less). My upstairs sewing room (longarm room) stays pretty neat. So I'm all ready to dive into 2019 projects!

I have some plastic drawers full of precut scraps, that I want to empty out. My goal is to make scrap quilts for donation with them. So far, so good!

Luckily we have a shop in town that takes all craft type things whether they are yarn, thread, patterns, fabric, musical instruments, crockery ... well, you get the idea that they will take just about anything usable. They do classes and you can buy from them for very little money. I will be donating there and the local charity shop. Hmmm, just thinking about that makes me feel better. Thanks zozee for posting this list. It is pushing me along to actually do the organizing.
