The feeling that there is so much I want to do and not enough time in my life to do it all is kind of consuming me. Last year I decided to stop buying fabric and patterns for a year so that I would use up what I have. Although I made a lot of things and loved doing it I feel like I didn't even make a dent. So I've got the same resolution this year. I am nowhere near having the size of stash my fellow sewists have. It's just two shelves. I have too many ideas and 24 hours in the day just isn't doing it. I don't even have a job! I'm a retired paint contractor so the studio is half sewing and half painting supplies. The thought that I'll die before I make all the things I want is constantly hanging over me so I'm going to follow you and hopefully figure out how to weed out the unnecessary stuff. Thanks for sharing.

It’s a hard problem, because it feels like a microcosm of the rest of life. We’re never able to do and see and experience and create all that we want. And even though we know it’s true, it’s so hard to accept!

I haven’t thought about it like that. You’re totally right. That actually makes me think differently about it and lessens the panic. Thank you.
