However we will be downsizing into a smaller house as soon as my husband retires in January. My DH tells me that I have way too much stuff for "just a simple hobby" like quilt making. So, I've been warned that a lot of it will have to go. We will not have the extra bedroom/quilting room. I can't even imagine how I can get rid of as many of my things as he says I'll have to. What I'm thinking of is leading him by the nose to a house (hopefully I'll find the right one) that has a Florida Room, or enclosed porch. Then I'll convince him that we don't need a room like that for the purpose it was meant for, and I will, quick as a bunny, swoop in with all my quilting stuff and get it set up before he knows what hit him. When it's a done deal it will be too much work to change it. I may end up better off because it'll have more windows which means better natural light. What do y'all think? Is this a possibility?
Sounds like a plan!

Why do they try to change us? I dont know about anyone else - but I think I am getting the idea we are all passionate about our sewing! Why do they want to take this away from us? Why? WHY?!!!!!
It's simple, JEALOUSY! Some hubbys are jealous of the time we spend on our "simple hobby," others are jealous that we have something wonderful that they don't. My DH for instance, doesn't have a single hobby! He has just been a workaholic all his life. What's he going to do with all his time when he's retired? Lord help me!!!
