PronounsOther
Name the hobby, craft, art form, or other recreational activity that contributes the most stuff to your living space, including raw materials, tools, equipment, other supplies, reference materials, specialized furniture, etc.Sewing
Reflecting on your answer to the previous question, describe the part of the activity that contributes most to the clutter in your home. Your answer may be based on volume, size, complexity, or any other factor that makes it difficult to store and manage the stuff for your activity.Several sewing machines, fabric, sewing patterns, accessories and notions. Essentially an entire closet in my house is full of sewing supplies.
Reflecting on your answer to the first question, describe how the cluttered state of stuff related to this activity negatively impacts your ability to carry out or enjoy the activity.The accumulation has demotivated me from actually making anything because I will need to search for *exactly* what I need or have too many selections snd can’t decide.
Here’s your chance to ask Gayle and Ed any question you’re curious about. It need not be related to this survey’s topic(s).Can you talk about craft supply hoarding? Several craft friends shop a lot at stores for every type of craft (scrapbooking, card making, stamping, knitting, crocheting, painting, etc.) and this seems like a serious issue, but yet googling “craft supply hoarder” generates a lot of cutesy things along the lines of “the problem isn’t too many crafts supplies, it’s too small a space!”
Future topics

1. Real craft supply hoarding issues
2. Organizing attic and deciding what to part with after a lifetime of memories
3. Children and grandchildren’s toys
