I had just sat down to work on my blog when I heard a noise I both knew and dreaded, Drip, Drip, Drip. I jumped up and ran over to my costume/fabric stash closet and opened the door. Yup, there was water coming off the shelf, down the boxes holding my fabric and pooling on the floor. "MOM!!!!" I called in a dignified and genteel way (I was yelling and running like a chicken with my head cut off). Mom couldn't help me as she was the one in the shower causing the leak but I did have my older brother help be to get the doors off the closet and get the boxes out while dad shut the pipe off. Mom was done with her shower....hehe! Sorry Mom. We also found a mouse hole in the back of my closet but it doesn't sI eem to be in use. I decided I couldn't keep all the fabric in the house and would have to put some in storage and re-arrange my sewing space. It took me about 4 or so hours but I got it done and I think it will work out just fine with the new set up.
I knocked but no one answered. And then things got messy.
I was in to much of a hurry to get everything out of the closet to worry about a neat and orderly fashion and this is the result.
This is the pile of costumes I decided to put in storage. Looks like a crazy mess of this and that.
We had 2 buckets to catch the water drips and those are the trouble pipes.
Mostly cleaned up and organized just need to put the doors back on the tracks.
Still looks like a mess but there isn't as much as there was before.
I am planning another project and as a teaser I'll tell you one of the items I bought. An artificial Christmas tree.
