Floss Storage!

I have reading on a few blogs about the way everyone stores there floss. So I thought I would share what I do to store my floss and threads

DMC floss is store 2 ways

The first way is the floss is wrapped on bobbins and these are the ones that I work from and use on my current projects.

and my extra ones are stored in plastic floss keeper bags and are kept in a drawer in my craft room until I run out of one that is on a bobbin or is kitted in another project.

My WDW , GAST & CC are stored in a 3 ring binders. I have 3 notebooks, one for each of the different kinds of thread.

I try to keep them in alphabetic order for the most part.

And as you can see I use Business Card pages  and the threads fit perfectly in them, and you can see them at a glance.

Well that's how I keep my threads organized and it seems to work for me.

Now for some progress pictures

Enchanted Alphabet - I just need to finish the letter Z  and a few  other things and it will done. (hope to have it done soon!)

Metamorphosis is coming alone - I like working on this one because you don't have to change colors all the time.

 And of course I have to include a picture of my granddaughter, she is spending the day with me today.

Off to read some more blogs and do a little stitching while the little one takes her nap!

Happy Stitching

Catching up

Well my niece told me I needed to update my Blog, so here is what I have been up to lately. Last week I truly didn't get much stitching done, and what I did get done I had to rip out because I forgot a couple of rows of stitching and couldn't fix it with out frogging. I was so frustrated that I put it a way. Another reason I didn't stitch much was I have been trying to organize my floss and take inventory of what I have. What a job that can be. I have found that in my DMC floss I have 6-8 of some of the colors.So I am sharing my extra colors with my sister in hopes that she will cross stitch more with me. Of course she can't replace my favorite niece as Chrissy will always be my #1 stitching buddy!

I am almost done with the DMC floss, I am working on the 900's right now

We had a very busy weekend, lots of family and activities going on.

Our little home town of Trent, SD had there

125th Birthday.

They had a parade on Saturday morning and we had several entries in it.

the rest of the grand kids are in the back.

We also had family from Colorado for all the festivity. So on Friday nite when I got back home from visiting some other family members I walk into my living room to find this:

I had 8 kids (ages 2-10) sleeping in my living room.

some are sleeping, some are hiding, and some are posing for the camera.

6 of them are grandkids and 2 belong to my husbands niece.

 Now on a stitching note I finished another Lizzy Kate project, not sure how I will finish finish this piece.

I mentioned at the begining of this blog that I had to do some frogging to do, well I got it all ripped out and stitched properly again. It was on my Birds of a Feather Mystery Sampler. In the tree trunk I miss a couple of rows. But I am back at it again. I will post pictures of it later as I have not got a picture taken yet.

I hope everyone enjoyed there weekend
Happy Stitching
