This sounds so very much like me! I enjoy being creative, especially when it involves things like cement, rocks, some stained glass, etc. I especially enjoy making stepping stones of my own design with "found" objects.

I'm lucky my husband and family are understanding. My house is always a mess and I was forever starting a project, then putting it aside while it dried or set up, etc. Then I would start another project -and eventually I'd have all the stuff for 2 or 3 projects spread out all through the kitchen and other parts of the house. Finally my husband gave up a small outbuilding on our property that was supposed to be his potting shed. He donated it to me for my workshop. Now I can have 2-4 projects out in various stages of completion without adding any more clutter to my messy house.

I still have way more stuff to be creative with than I have time to do the projects, but at least I can sometimes find the things I want when I want them. slow
