Irritation
So I am FINALLY after like thirty years setting up a dedicated sewing area in the house, so I can actually have my sewing machine out and work on projects without having to swap it out with my desktop computer. Prior to this I've kept all my sewing stuff jumbled into craft boxes crammed into a cabinet, where they are inconvenient to get to and impossible to find anything once you've gotten to them. With all the rearranging and cleaning we did after the Closet Project, I managed to clear out enough space in the office room to fit in a sewing desk and a rack for all my cloth.
I've been going through all my notions and sorting them out, and getting rid of things I'm never going to use, like the bag of Ribbon Scraps in Ugly Colors That Are Too Short To Do Anything With. In aid of the sorting process, I ordered a spool organizer off Etsy. It arrived today, and much to my annoyance, it was broken.
First thing I did was send pictures to the seller and complain about the insufficient packaging. Hopefully they'll feel guilty enough to send me a partial refund. Next thing I did was break out the clamps and the wood glue and fix it, because it really is a cool piece and I want it, damn it. If the glue proves insufficient I'll drill holes in the back and insert dowels for extra support, but the broken part isn't load-bearing, so hopefully glue will suffice.
Also pictures of the not quite finished bedroom while I'm at it:
