swanduchess is so very right. We have so much clutter because there are four or five of us in our house, not two! Someday, I'll live someplace where Caitlin can have her own closet: that would help a lot.

I've been saying that for years- I have a lot of stuff to move because it's not just me that moves, it's Aurelia too, and that girl has a LOT of stuff.

Now that is a very good point!

By that logic, there are twelve people living in my house (or even fourteen, if you count the two sparkly princesses who keep showing up for tea). It's no wonder I can never keep up with the laundry.

i hav ea large walk-in closet that is jsut garb. it really doesn't help :)

I know the feeling. I still have Siubhan stuff floating around even though I don't use it anymore, and now there's all the bellydance stuff.

I would be more likely to say that the SCA tends to attract people who are clutter-ful, regardless. As an example:

I've not been involved in the SCA in any meaningful way for at least 10 years. My SCA stuff (and that of my wife) is packed in two or three (large) boxes in the attic. Maybe, some day, they'll come out. And yet we're still over-cluttered. Why?

Because we are diverse people. We have many interests. I like woodworking, and brewing, and technology, and music, and cooking, and reading. My wife likes jewelery, and music, and cooking, and other things I can't quite think of now (hanging head in shame). But each of these things demands its own space, each has its own set of equipment. If you didn't do SCA, you'd fill that time and space with other things, because that is just who you are. The SCA isn't the cause, really; it's more of a symptom. An active and cross-disciplinary mind will have this happen. There were cluttered houses long before that original party.

Oooh ... that's such an intriguing idea ... ;)

We've actually managed to free up one closet for the SCAdians, but they also wanted a wardrobe upstairs, and at least three trunks... I think they need their own room...
