One thing that I am glad about is that it'll force me to be neater. I think it's like that saying that nature abhores a vacuum. (Hope I spelled that right). Give me a space and I'll fill it right up. Also, as a friend reminded me at quilt group, I'll have two spaces to split my stuff into. It just won't be convenient to go get the things I forget so I'll have to really put thought into it.

So, bring it on. What are your ideas?
I appreciate your thoughts!
I find that I often have doubles (triples, etc.) of items, so I pack my travel sewing suitcase with all the essentials and just leave them in it all the time. When I leave, it goes into the car along with a sewing machine. Don't know if something like that would work for you or not. It has room for some fabric/projects as well.
