    I can totally identify with you, at first I was printing off a lot of free patterns and putting them in my binder so I'd be organized but then I started using up WAY too much printer ink and my binder is full and I'm still a beginner so I'm not producing anywhere near as many as my brain wants to!

    Does anyone use Delicious to tag the bookmarks you want to save? I've been going crazy adding to my Delicious list since I joined this board only two months ago!!!

    iowabelle, I recently have gone through my huge stack of quilting magazines and have torn out only those quilts or ideas I want to save. I have recycled all that was left. It's really cut down on what I need to store. I am planning to organize the materials I've saved in file folders or in binders. Declutter and organize!

    mug rugs
    place mats
    purses
    table toppers
    lap robes
    a sweat shirt jacket

    Wanna help? lol

    First of all-------------what size of project do you want to do?
    How much time do you want to invest?


    Maybe pick a simple pattern which you can complete rather quickly so you can move on to the next project.
