<breathe> it will be fine. Just set a few flexible and inflexible rules and just enjoy the time if you can to quilt.

Praying for you and the family. It is good you are trying to organize so you can still do some sewing. I find during the most stressful times is when I need quilt therapy.

hopefully for them it will be short term, hopefully for you everyone will pitch in to make it work for as long as it lasts.

Much of the world lives in small accommodations with extended family, it is easy to forget that, though it might be cold comfort

That's for certain! I love watching House Hunters on HGTV with all these people that 'require' umpteen bathrooms and bedrooms, plus office space, etc. etc. I always think about all the people that were raised in much less space and they came out just fine. When I was a kid, 2 bedrooms and 1 bathroom were pretty much par for the course for a family of four.

You will be fine.

When I was growing up, our family of 11 lived in a house with three small bedrooms and 1 bath! Of course, there weren't 11 of us the whole time - babies came one at a time, or in the case of the twins, two at a time, and we just adjusted. Hope your adjustment time is short and sweet and you enjoy having your family so close. Many people have family scattered far away and don't get to see them. Write in a Gratitude Journal (even if only in your head) if you get frustrated. You'll probably look back on this time later and be so glad you had it. Blessings!

Wow - everyone will have to do major adjusting!

Get a little notebook and write where you stash everything so you can find it later? Good luck, I feel your pain. Currently house rearranging ourselves.

OMG!

Reaching out with lots of hugs. My son, Daughter in Law, a baby born while living with my husband and me, little one is now 15 months old. No pets. I have stayed overwhelmed - I have packed up and can't find anything and so many things have been broken. I can't pack fast enough.

I love my granddaughter and I love watching her grow and her happiness. This is all that matters in life. Quilting isn't happening. Hang in there.

Get a large shed and have your son put it up in the backyard...for overflow.!

AS daughter's MIL said to me during a very stressful time "I don't think God sends us more than we can handle". It's true. It may seem overwhelming at the time but if you keep putting one foot in front of the other and trust in God all will be okay.
