Ugh, a mess!

I just went downstairs to retrieve the iron so I could work
up here on DSIL's kilt, and discovered that one of the
shelves above the sewing machine, where I had: 8 shoeboxes
of patterns, segregated by type and size, a box of buttons,
a bunch of zippers, a box of notions, laces and trims, plus
two small boxes of silky fabrics, and a collection of sewing
books...

had leapt off the wall and crashed down to the floor,
spilling everything in a huge ugly pile.

I picked up enough to make it over to the ironing board, and
started a load of laundry, but cleaning and sorting it all
out will wait.

Sorting-and-tossing really needed doing, but I would have
preferred to do it on my own schedule.

<sigh>
