I have finally started moving into my shiny new craft room, and am going through a lot of organizing activities as a consequence. I really want everything to have its place and most importantly, to be easy to locate.
Last weekend, my stash of embroidery thread went from this:
To this:
It took me the whole of Sunday to cut out bobbins and to wind the floss around them, but it was a downright satisfying activity. Seeing how much joy I take out of my colour-coordinated, neatly lined up bobbins, I am amazed I am not a tidier person in other areas of my life...
Maybe I should be!
I loved organising my threads too! It is so therapeutic :)
