Craft-a-Holic

It's time to admit it; I have a problem. I am utterly addicted to crafts. (That is probably not a surprise to most people.) Currently I draw, paint, crochet, knit, cross stitch, carve stamps, make candles, and wood-burn. I would really like to learn how to sew, quilt, embroider, scrapbook, and stamp, but alas, now is not the time to accumulate new things.

In the midst of cleaning the clutter from our lives, Paul and I have managed to get rid of whole stacks of clothes, books, CDs, and assorted junk. We've chosen other clothes, books, CDs, and assorted junk to pack and store for the next year while we are in California. It has been quite liberating to free ourselves from our earthly belongings. Except now, I have come to the dreaded task of sorting through my craft supplies. Ordinarily, I love sorting through my craft supplies. It gives me new ideas for crafts I can do. =) I have boxes and boxes of yarn, paints, sketchbooks, wood burning supplies, needlework, and books, and I want all of them with me at all times. For a period during college, I carried around several boxes of craft supplies in my car, just to be sure I would have the things I needed when I needed them!

How to go about this task of sorting through my most prized possessions and choosing what will come to California, and what will sit, unused, unwanted, unloved in an attic for an entire year... There is only room for one box in the car. What will go into that box? We shall see...
