I just cant do this...or can I?

So now I have step children  and I have moved 10 years of sewing and knitting paraphernalia into large garbage bags. I believe I have 8 large bags of fabric and 5 bags of yarn. My heart is broken.

I Love to sew and I used to buy fabric because I just couldn't walk out of the store without it. I realised this was a problem and grounded myself back in 1996. I will only buy what I need like zippers, buttons, trip, etc. Once in a while I will allow myself to look at fabric and I will purchase something. I have done pretty well. But I do have a patient at work who travels to Beijing and Shanghai. She will purchase $20.00 of fabric and hunt me down at the clinic. She does this once a year. So I have some very special pieces. sniff...sniff. So I have nowhere for my sewing table or machines to reside.

My yarn is what I treasure most. If I want to start a new sweater then I have to figure out what bag its in.

The kids thought they could just bag this stuff up and get it out of the way. It was more complicated than that. HA ha ha. I had trouble even bagging it up. I can get pretty protective of my stuff if someone wants me to get rid of it or throw it out. Its quite comical because I have a project for each and every piece. (except for the fabric that has been given to me)


Two things have come from this #1) I feel free having this stuff put away.
#2) I have learned I really don't need it. I just want it.

So right now I will continue to finish what I have started and not worry about digging in a bag.

p/s I just found out my daughter is moving out and I will take over her room. WoooHooo!!!!!
