Simple Minds... Simple Joys?



I decided to start collecting old spools of thread.



They fit perfectly on the ledge around my sewing room.



I can spend hours trimming up the loose threads.



I can organize them by color.



If I get bored I can play in my button box.

Simple minds only need simple joy?

Maybe.

Or is the truth hiding?

I only get joy out of the simple tasks because I am procrastinating
the bigger messes that are not so simple to clean up.

VERY cool! I love thread ... not that I sew well at all, but I do love thread! Those spools might make a cool note card?!

Have a GREAT week Anne!

I totally agree with the note card idea. You have to do it!!! I am sure you could sell them in the staff room to all of our quilting friends. You have a set for all seasons. I am getting excited. You could rearrange them by holiday. Red and green for x-mas and so on. Seriously those pics capture you in the coolest way.

I love these pictures, they are so colorful and pleasing. If I sewed, and therefore had any need for thread, I would absolutely organize by color.

Happy Thanksgiving!
