First off ,a big Thank you to everyone for the lovely comments on my last post. I tried to reply to everyone , but some were no-reply comments and one kept bouncing back.
Your comments really helped and made it a bit easier for me.
I took the opportunity at Open Evening to have a word with my sons' teacher. She discreetly had a word with the kid ,who came and asked if he wanted to play the following day. It was only for a short while before she wandered off ,and I'm sure it won't last , but we'll see. It makes it very hard as we have known this girl since she and my Daughter were at nursery together , so going on 6 years. I cannot understand how kids can be like that , but still. All's well that ends well, for the time being at least .
Half term this week , and my son is glued to the Winter Olympics ,lol .
Remember I had to wind all those threads onto bobbins?
Well, this is what they look like done .
I wasn't sure if I'd have enough space in all my boxes ,as I didn't really want to use the ones that have broken hinges for the lids, so I picked up a couple of these from Home Bargains.
They were a ridiculous price of around £1.49 I think , and the little dividers come out . They are a little shallow for the bobbins , but with a squeeze will close and keep everything safe.
So ,this is almost my entire collection of DMC threads. I have left spaces as some threads are in use and obviously, there will be more added at times.
This is my Anchor box with a few unbranded threads at the end . The paper at the top has the Anchor-DMC conversion numbers of the threads I have , to make life a bit easier .
WIP box for Rosita.
And "others" WIP boxes , usually my charity squares and there are the threads that the kids are using for their Pokemon they have started.
There are still some other threads out in another box for my Christmas UFO/WIP.
Lots of lovely threads in gorgeous colours, to brighten the days a little .
Thanks for dropping by ,
Cath
