Not a lot to report this time. After the last big rain here we discovered water on the floor of our sunroom (my studio) and when we pulled some of the cabinets away from the wall, we discovered mold. UGH! I’ve been packing up my studio trying to figure out what I will need in the immediate and what I won’t. HINT: I’ve already packed away some things that I needed! It’s very slow going and always with the use of a mask.
This is where I was the last time:

And this is where I am now:


I managed to get a little more done on the bottom part of the stocking and although I took a picture of the top part, I realize that there is nothing new up there.
At first I was so bummed (I still am) but now I’m trying to look at this as an opportunity. None of the personal items are affected and for this I am truly grateful. In going through all the cabinets (yes, the whole room has to be emptied) I am taking time to organize (in boxes) and then give away things I’m not going to use. Today we have to take an entire wall of 8 foot cabinets off of the wall and move them – I’m not excited.
I know the others who take part in this SAL will lots of lovely things to look at!

I’m sorry to hear about the water and mold damage – that is not easy to clean up. Good news that your personal items are safe. I hope your stitching time (great progress on the stocking!) will help you relax after the hard work is done!
Oh no, we suffer from black mould in our old house – it can be soul destroying if something is damaged. I do hope you get a chance to relax soon.
Sorry to hear of your water/mould problem – it can be devastating but glad you managed to save items. Hope you get some time to relax and stitch.
oh dear, sorry to hear about having to empty and clear things to after the water issue.
Sorry to hear about the water damage. Hope it gets cleared up quickly. The stocking is lovely.
Sorry to hear about the water damage and all the work it’s creating for you. I hope you can sort it out soon and enjoy your crafting space again.
How distressing to deal with the water and mould problem. Such a pain. Hopefully all is sorted and you can have your creative space back. The stocking is looking amazing!
Water and mold damage – yuck – on the bright side your going thru things and organizing and thats always a good thing 🙂 Hoping for a pain free finish on getting this done
Oh how awful that you have water damage with mold. I am glad you are looking at this disaster as a time to organize and purge. Your stocking is looking good.
Oh bummer!!!! What a blessing that your personal stuff is safe!
Mold damage is no fun. It´s horrible. My parents had it in their house and they had to throw away a lot of things. I´m glad you could save your projects!
Oh boy, that’s no fun at all! Glad no serious damage to your personal items though. You have made good progress on this!
