I have just spent a lovely, relaxing, rainy afternoon filling my new floss box. I had loads of different coloured flosses, most of them in knots and tangles, mixed up in an old shopping bag. I saw these floss boxes on the internet and decided they were for me. I am so happy with the results.
BEFORE, how embarrasing!!!
After un-knotting, ALOT, I wound them onto the little card bobbins that also came with the box, by hand, I didn’t bother buying a little bobbin winder.
AFTER, how beautiful.
This is my ‘CAT’ box. These are all the colours that I will use to embroider my cats. Now to sort all the rest out before I buy more boxes.
I managed to get my ‘CAT’ thread box done while my two little horrors were asleep!
Why didn’t you wake me up?!!!!
Dillon wasn’t too impressed when he eventually woke up. He would have loved to have helped!!!
This is what I had left, all the little pieces that took me ALOT of will-power to throw out. I hate throwing anything crafty out, hence having to organise regularly!!!
All the little bits that I must throw. Chaos isn’t good.
This is how my stash finished up, I am now ordering 2 more boxes so they will look neat and tidy too. And hopefully no more reasons to throw anything away!!
Looking forward to getting my new boxes and sort this lot out properly.
I can’t wait to start embroidering again, my hands are alot better now. And having my floss organised there will be no more pulling out bits from an old shopping bag. Tomorrow I will be making something to help me transfer my cat designs onto my fabric. So keep watching!!
