#aftermath After months of piling supplies willy nilly around my work area, I'm afraid it's time to pay the piper. I need a clean slate on my desk and in my brain as I organize this train wreck so I can get going on the design of Ghost of Christmas Present for my Ebenezer Ornament Series.
So I'll be unsnarling the pile of floss, sorting and putting away the card stocks and felts, clearing away the accumulated paints, glues, and glitters, and finding a home with various family members for the little house reject samples all lined up in a row. (Rejected for minor reasons, like the innards or outsides do not match the final version of the pattern in some way, so will still make great Christmas gifts! All made with love.)
In my daydream, I sit in my studio with a great cup of coffee, making your adorable felt houses while Hallmark movies play on the TV. It keeps me motivated while doing billing for my day job. Thank you and please know your work is appreciated!
ReplyDeleteThat's such a great daydream! I'd love that too! Except sub in some Korean dramas. Thanks so much for your encouragement! I'm so happy you enjoy them!
DeleteI’d love to see how you organize floss! I’ve tried numbered bobbins in plastic cases and also plastic baggies in tiny binders and I just can’t decide which is better. What works for you?
ReplyDeleteI have the ubiquitous plastic lidded partitioned cases and my floss wound on flat bobbins and organized by color. I am 1) horrible at keeping up with the bobbin winding 2) hopeless at writing the numbers on them. But they are the best way I've found for me. :-)
DeleteHi Larrissa and previous blogger. I'm from the UK and found the easiest way to store my embroidery floss is to use DMC Gold Stitchbows floss holders. they are like 2 x letter Y's stuck together end to end. All you do is take off the bands on the floss and hook the loops onto the open Y at either end. You can then slide the band with the number on it onto the fkat piece on the side. Really simple, done in less than a minute and no winding! I also use the DMC Gold file and clear pockets that hold 15 stitchbows per 'page'. You can see the floss and its number at a glance as the pockets are transparent and it looks good on the shelf too.
Deletegreat tip, thanks!
