I fixed up my costume/armory room!

I know that doesn't sound like a big accomplishment to many of you, but it is one of my usual downfalls. I keep things clean and put away, but they aren't always organized to the point that I can say to someone where it is and they can find it. But when it comes to my costume/armory room, that really needs to be organized otherwise I can't find my books, patterns, papers, tools, pictures, etc. . . . . and then I get frustrated. So, yesterday, I was able to convince Jakob to help me move some stuff around and go get a few bit plastic cases. Where used to be a wall of fabric, it is now neatly stacked in 4 cases. YAY! I had forgotten what I had bought and now I can see everything.

I am such a bargain hunter. If I don't have to pay "listed price" for something, then I won't. I was amazed with the price that I got for the cases and for all the fabric.

This used to be all on the floor in boxes or on that small desk off to the side and those three large cases are filled with fabric. Those used to be on those bolts below plus a few folded in really big bags. I'm happy that they are off the floor now.


There is about 16 or 17 there and each had about 5 yards or more. I can't believe the deal that I got!

This is a "patio" table that was on sale as a last remaining item. It works perfect! And I was amazed that it fit in the room, is sturdy, and looks great too!

This is my greatest find! Large mirrors are so expensive so I thought I'd never be able to have one. I was looking through a store in the mall and saw a sale on mirrors so I thought I'd take a look. This one was affordable, but I didn't think I could get it right now. I looked at a mirror behind the one in front and saw that the corners were chipped and some of the paint was scratched. I talked to the lady and she said she would take 30% more off the sale price. So I bought it, fixed the corners with a little putty, repainted it and now it is great! (also makes a great cover for a closet that doesn't have a door).

My craft room is a small room, so I got excited when I was able to see the floor again! (not that I couldn't see it before, but I can see more of it now!) And I have room to work in that room with the gown that I'm working on.

Yay!
