Thread & Bobbin Togetherness...

Without my sewing machine I have been spending time organizing.  Here you can see my threads and bobbins are together.  No more guessing which shade of ecru is on the bobbin.   Writing on my bobbins did not work for me.  I would like to give credit to the inventor however they are unknown to me.  My grandma used to do this sort of thing decades ago however without the fun buttons.

Because I buy the larger spools of thread more often than the small spools I did go and buy longer wooden golf tees.  I used to have a dentist who used wooden golf tees to set my tooth crown.  He would have me bite down on the tee while it laid sideways on the crown.  I trust the golf tee was not a used one.  LOL  Oh where was I...  Yes, the wooden golf tees.  I poked them into a used mailing box for steady holding.  These are some fun wooden floral buttons my friend Ana of Scrappy Pink Corner gifted me with.  Thank you very much Ana Dear.

Using Glossy Accents or any glue of your choice that would work merely affix the button onto the tee top. Let them dry until set.  I didn't add thread to these like the others in photo one.  If adding thread...do it before the gluing.  Now I am ready to keep bobbin and spool together in my sewing cabinet drawer.

I am not making a lot of progress on my Fellowship of the Flowers.  Instead I am enjoying the few I have already prepped for stitching.  Here is a finished project using one of my flowers.  I made a wool felt bag and added the flower for interest.  I blanket stitched it onto the finished bag.  Hearts and flowers are always in season in my world.
We are awaiting a storm which is supposed to bring us some good soaking rain and snow in the mountains. It is chilly and breezy so I can feel the storm coming.  It is time for me to go outside and do a little weeding while I can.  I have the perfect stretch to accomplish this afternoon.
I am enjoying lots of blog hopping.  Welcome to my new followers and comments.  I read and enjoy every one.  I will be busy in the studio when time allows.  I am currently going down memory lane as I sort through some things.  I save every bit of everything anyone sends to me.  I love it all.  I am honored to have such great blogging friends.  I will be surprising someone soon with something.  I do not like to have give-aways on my blog.  Instead I like to honor my faithful followers with a surprise from time to time.  If you have never shared your snail mail address with me and you would like to do so then please email it to me.  My email is in my profile.  You never know when I may send along a surprise bit of mail.  Hmmm...
