I've been doing that also.
In one of the crafting FB groups, a member asked to see how others stored their metal dies. In describing my "system", it occurred to me that I could make it more logical and convenient if I moved things around slightly. So, I did .. and yes, those items are now placed more reasonably.
But in so doing, I've naturally had to move OTHER items. My big challenge now, is to *remember* where those other items are. They are still, more or less, in my line of vision (I've discovered that if it's out of sight, it's out of mind and I don't use it), it's in a different place, which will take some time getting used to.
I've also re-organized other items, so they are not so messy.
I'm continuing to work on my needleturn applique.

I ignored household tasks and sewed yesterday!
I pulled out my Dear Jane project....sigh, I bet it has been ten years since I’ve worked on it! Course it was always going to Be a forever type project, with all those blocks.
i appliqued two blocks while on vacation. The other evening while restless I cut out a bunch of fabric triangles - I want one of each fabric so this is a fiddly job. Also went through my notebooks to see where I was at and what I still had to do.
yesterday I want to do some pp ing so I did! I pieced two triangles and prepped the applique that needs to go on them. Finished two blocks that needed finishing touches. And then started 2 blocks, one triangle and one square and completed them!
I'm on a roll....

My, oh my. Those are lovely blocks. You do have a mountain of patience to even contemplate making those.

Well, truthfully, yesterday it was a serious case of how can I escape looking at the household jobs that need doing.....lol!

Those are *fantastic!*
Leave the project out, in its box, but so you can see it. One block a day or one block prepped and slowly but surely you'll get them all done!
I can see the end of my Art Deco Garden Forever Project.... I've just finished all 28 border blocks (but still need to make *140* small accent circles). I have only 4 12" blocks to prep and stitch. One block at a time!

Love the colors in those blocks. This will be a beauty.
Glad to know that you are in the very exclusive Forever Club with Pirate.
