Have you learned "anything" since you started?

I could list ALL OF THE ABOVE, lol.

-I have learned not to buy on a whim. Some things though pretty, are just a
passing feeling.

-I have learned not to save so many patterns or Pin so many pictures. I say to
myself, "My, that's pretty or interesting, but will you REALLY make it?"

-I have learned there is a balance between cute/pretty and useable/productive.
Go for less cute/pretty and put it where I can see it to be inspired.
The useable/productive stuff needs to be accessible and neat but not pretty.
