Hi Sue - I have to admit that I have way more "stuff" than I use... But if I needed to "sell off" the surplus, it would be impossible to find anything I'd be willing to part with! One never knows when these things will be needed!!!
However, as far as the small things go, I've got them pretty well organized! A number of years ago, I got a wonderful multi-drawer tool chest. It's attractive, and the drawers are the perfect size for containing bobbins, boxes of pins, tools, threads, cover cloths, and various other odds and ends. To see one like the one I have, look at this one on eBay... http://tinyurl.com/ytk9ea It sits on top of an antique sewing machine in my office/lace room, and everything is within easy reach. A number of the various pillows each have their own bag, and hang from metal wreath holders hung over the closet door and the door to the office. I also have a couple of plastic wreath boxes which hold pillows. Until recently, I had one pillow set up in my office/lace room, and that was it. All of a sudden, I've got two more pillows set up in the living room, with projects on each of them! I'm not sure this will be an on-going state of affairs though...
