New Project and Floss Organization

Wow I can't believe it has been almost three months since I have posted something on my blog.  Where has the time gone???   Anyways I started this project in June and the picture on the right shows my progress.  It is going to be a wedding sampler for my niece who is getting married in March.

I decided that I had to find a better way to organize my floss.  So here is what I decided to do:  As you see from the picture on the left why I had to do something different.  I was using ziploc bags with my floss in them and had them all numbered.  Well the cats decided it was a good place to take a nap.  This is one of the kittens sleeping in my floss.  The picture on the right shows my new floss storage container.  It is actually a container for screws, bolts, etc. but it works perfect for floss.  There are 60 drawers in each one and I bought two of them.  So  I am able to put approx. 4 colors in each drawer.  This will get all of my DMC floss put away and organized so I will know what I have and the kittens will not be able to drag it all over the house.   I am finding skeins of floss everywhere!!

  2. Nice progress on your wedding sampler. Great new organization. I ended up using a very similar container for my floss - it works really well!
