I know exactly how you feel. Creative people need a space just for that, creating. We acquire so much stuff to use to create our beautiful projects and over the years we get so cluttered. Two years ago I did the same thing as you. Sold, gave away, donated and re-arranged all the areas where my crafts stuff was. This winter I find myself still unsatisfied with the results and am starting to do it all over again. Soon I will make a post maybe this week on how I organized one room just for my soaps. I so get your mindset, as it becomes like an obsession and we want our own space.... Keep going girl, I know you will get there and I will too.
I will be waiting for this post, I really love seeing how other people do it to borrow some ideas!:)
