do you toss your thread clippings on the floor?

Actually I got an idea from this board a long time ago . . I collect them in a very small vase. The lady on here was talking about then winding them with a small amount of twine and using it for the other side of a preacher's hook in the garden - opposite the hummingbird feeder because they use the small threads as nesting material - Ithought that weas cool and it sure keeps my whole house cleaner -(wood floor in my office/quilting area) and the dogs seem to carry stuf everywhere - At least I'm blaming them . . .

I am not a neat person when I am sewing. I have strings and scraps everywhere! I have a couple of the little scrap/string/trash bags that hang on the machine. Who has time to look and throw something in it? :lol: It's just the way I sew and I've gotten used to it. I grab the vacuum every now and then and just give the rug a cleaning. I am neat when I cook and other things I do, but sewing just sets my creativity free I guess. This is not a habit I learned from my mom. She was the neatest person I've ever known when she was sewing. She could sew all day; get up from the machine; and you could not tell she'd been close to the machine at all. I never could figure it out. :lol: :lol:

I'm a fanatic that every little thread went into a plastic bag pinned to my sewing table - hate what thread does to the vacuum sweeper!! Just bought a thread catcher at a craft fair last weekend. I'm moving up in the quilters world! :-)
