I was shopping yesterday and happened by an aisle with shelf/ storage items. I picked up a 3 drawer unit with clear drawers that are deep and large enough to hold my Longarm thread cones for only $15. So now I have all my thread off the bookshelves and baskets and sorted by color families. I also have had a wooden thread holder- I don’t know what to call it- it’s antique- I will take a couple pictures at some point, but anyway I sorted and put all my balls of Perle Cotton into it- filled all 6 spaces, so now I don’t have to search drawers , bags & boxes when I need a color.
i sold the 1956 singer that was in a cabinet so had to clean out those 6 drawers- and move it out, which gave me room for the treadle machine and it looks nice at the end of the Longarm. Organized some books and magazines since I now have room on the bookshelves that were cluttered with thread cones
the room is a disaster while I’ve been working on a quilt but I’m getting things done
