I've always been blessed with a small space. So I've got used to having most things within reach. I find it very convenient to just swivel on my stool to reach almost everything I need.
This poses a problem when I need to spread things out for visual effects. But there is a spare bedroom just across the hall.
I also have got used to keeping my stash farther away. It's downstairs now. Actually, it's great to have a walking break; get fabric, get a drink, check dinner, go to the bathroom, feel ready to sew again!
