A peg board

Close to the most exciting thing that happened on the weekend was putting up the new peg board from IKEA. I had to drill holes in the wall and use a screwdriver! So a little bit of swearing was involved. You are also supposed to use a level to make sure your peg boards are level, and measure things, so there's no gap between them, but I didn't do that and it all seems to be fine. And they haven't fallen off the wall yet either, unlike my coast curtain rod debacle. This is the before shot of the dead space behind the door. Random things on coathangers on command hooks. It's been thirteen years since I painted the room that blue-grey. I still really like the colour.

I took the opportunity to chuck stuff out and to do a re-arrangement of the sewing room which has been giving me the shits for some time now. My problem is actually big storage not little storage - I have heaps of drawers and tubs (and now a peg board) for the little things ... it's the looms and the warping board and the tapestry frame and the roll of batting that's the problem. So I shoved some more stuff under the bed, and some other stuff in the corner of the wardrobe behind my wedding dress, and vacuumed and dusted and generally got things in order. 

It was very satisfying, and then I organised my peg board to take the long awkward things like weaving heddles and shuttles. It's not completely done yet because IKEA didn't have any of the short hooks and little pen tubs - apparently everyone is organising their life in lockdown - so I'll have to go back this weekend! Yay!
