Looking round the shops before Christmas there seemed to be quite a few nice storage containers out there – all of which I could instantly think of a use for. This is the one that I was lucky enough to receive as a gift though, from my wonderful sister H.
From the fantastic Cath Kidston, this contained a wide selection of cotton sewing threads, but the sizing is perfect for skeins of embroidery thread. I have many in my collection and I'm already picturing a lovely evening sorting them and storing them away neatly. At the moment though it's just sat on my desk so that I can look and touch it whenever I want to!
Now I just need to convince Mr C that I've not completely lost the plot. I spent a while the other evening trying to convince him that some lovely square glass jars that we received some festive chutney in would make wonderful storage for my growing (but not yet big enough) button collection!
That is really pretty!
