30 years in the same house, big accumulation of dishes, glassware, etc from 3 aunts, 2 grannies. We moved and it was hard, but I packed up my sewing room. I missed sewing a lot, but I had so much household stuff to move and deal with, I really didn't have time for sewing anyway. Shortly after settling in the new house, we had other life changing events (Mom passed away and in laws got moved to Asst living) so we had to deal with 2 MORE houses and it was a another year before I could unpack the sewing boxes. I made myself do it and it worked out all right.
