    Good work, Bertie! I know what you mean about linen closets. We've only been in this apartment for six months and lost almost everything we owned and yet ... the linen closet is jammed and a mess! Six months!!! How did that happen???

    At least you have closets to hide and stuff your stuff in. I have only 1 closet for my clothes....LOL I have no storage space in my apartment. UGH it gets crazy when you have no where to hid anything.

    Have you tried the freezer? Just don't wrap your fabric in white butchers paper!

    Actually, in the house the closet space was awful. My son's room had a decent closet, but still not big enough for him in his clothes horse stage. In our bedroom we had one closet the size of a coffin. That actually worked out well as my husband kept his clothes in a very large closet downstairs which also was built to serve as his dresser. Made me happy because he was up at 5:00 am to go to work and not rummaging around the bedroom. On the other hand, it didn't work out too well for him since he had no clothes after the flood. Our house was a little cottage that was originally a beach house and I guess people didn't bring much to wear during the summer in the 1920s! Very tough to adjust to after living with walk in closets for the years before we bought the house. The closets here are a luxury and when we rebuild I will make sure I have tons of them! Or maybe I'll just stop hoarding.

    Being single I have no need to hide any of my purchases from anyone. so no need to put them in the freezer. LOL beside I have the freezer full with food.

    When I was active with a quilting class, we had different project ideas every week. A accumulated a lot during that time hoping to do EVERY project. Now I have a well-organized stash and cannot justify any more fabric until I've made a dent in what I have. Sometimes I am pleasantly surprised to find one I had forgotten about. My sister-in-law is possibly going to begin quilting so I can offer her access.
