We moved just last week and I must say that the process was very difficult. We packed everything and will get rid of the unwanted items as we unpack. The total in boxes was over 400! Plus furniture. I bought bins from Home Depot for my fabrics and quilting things, labeled them and kept note of what was in the bins in a book. I had about 40 bins of quilting supplies. My DH moved all my machines, Tin Lizzie, lamps and fragile things himself in our van. I didn't want the movers to move my machines. My sewing studio is painted a very soft yellow and is full of boxes- no clue when I will see my fabrics again! I miss sewing but the house needs to be unpacked first. Then I get to set up my new space.
