Our Creative Space...


Remember the huge thread mess of two weeks ago? It wasn't made by us but came from lots of lot's with vintage thread and unfinished embroideries. After many years of being all over the world neglected, I have organized them in a useful rainbow.


It took me quite some hours, but now it will save us time when searching for a color. I made these little cards to wrap the threads around them, they are made of our old business cards instead of throwing them away they got useful for this project.



In the mean time, mum has finished the wrap and now is crochetting around it to finish it, it is becoming gorgeous!

    You've certainly been keeping and Patience should be your middle name. Love your mum's handiwork too.

    I love that thread storage! Maybe I could do something similar with leftover snippets of yarn...

    The wrap is beautiful. =)

    You don't have a talent for chaos, like I have! Wonderful to see such an organised Working Space! And the colours...and the handwork is so beautiful.

    your threads put mine to shame! Mine are sorted by colour into 6 little drawers, but get horribly tangled. I'm inspired by yours!! xxx

    What a delicious rainbow of threads! So pretty. The wrap is looking lovely - will be good to see how the edging finishes if off. :)

    The sorted threads are an artwork in themselves.
