- there's not enough room in our little house
- it's cheaper (or even free)
- it's less messy
- the kids are less likely to steal my stuff
- I don't have the energy to do it in real life
- there's no need to tidy it away afterwards
- digital scrapbooking
- collecting patterns in a blog (hoarding, but blogger looks after the storage issues)
- designing and sharing my patterns online
