Do you know why I actually have some hope that I can accomplish some of my goals for this year? Because for the first time in a long time, we are not planning to move, and we are living somewhere that we have close to enough space. When everyone in your family has some type of hobby or interest, you need more space. Mine is sewing. While I'm going to attempt to cut down my fabric stash, I still need room for my cutting table, my table for my machines, my patterns, my reference books. Sewing makes me happy!
It was only late last year that I actually started to realize, however, how much stability can mean. It's such a nice feeling to unpack, to really settle in, not to have so many of one's possessions packed away in boxes. You can actually use everything you have, not have most of it stored away. It's nice to be able to take a nice long break from living out of boxes, and just concentrate on living for a while.

I finally realised a year or so ago that this is why our house seems so small. We have lots of books. Lots of musical instruments, a piano, music books. And lots of craft supplies. And all that is without considering the pipe organ in the basement and all my sewing supplies, machines and fabric!
Yep. If you have any kind of interest or hobby which involves lots of supplies, you simply need more living space.
