Ok, I’ll admit it; I’m a craft supply hoarder.
There I said it!
One of the combinations that I hoard the most of is needles and threads. Threads of all kinds and needles of all shapes and sizes are tucked into every corner of just about everywhere. I am known at work as the lady with the sewing kits, yep that’s right I said kits. Five to be exact, a little excessive yes, but I like to see them every time I open my desk drawer.
Since I love to hand stitch more than machine my collection is heavily weighted towards embroidery/cross-stitch type stuff. Take for instance my floss, I just can't help myself when I see it on sale! Now believe it or not I actually went to stitch something the other day and didn't have the color the chart called for, I couldn't believe it. I mean with 136 colors (not counting the variegated or metallic) in my stash how is it possible that I didn't have that one!
Sometimes I find the number of colors and types of threads overwhelming so I have my favorites set aside as my go-to colors, makes life easier when all I want to do is whip something up quick.
These little guys are my newest, $0.50 on a clearance rack! Woo!
Now my fingers are itching to stitch!
