Initially when I started doing embroidery I had only few colors like green, red, orange, blue, black, white, pink etc. I had only one shade in all the colors and I am not aware that so many shades are available. I came to know about different shades in a single color after started doing cross stitch. After that I started collecting different shades of thread. Then I used to store it in a plastic box(1 box for each color) and every time I used to take out all the threads to search a particular shade. This year I have decided to arrange all the threads according to numbers and to make me do it, Preeti is hosting a messy to classy link party. So I have decided each month I should arrange a part of my craft space and craft item and soon I should have a neat craft space and neatly arranged craft items.
So, this month I have arranged all my green shades of embroidery threads in a thick calendar sheet and Placed it in a cardboard box so that I can accomodate 4 to 5 family of color threads in a single box, thus reducing the number of plastic boxes. So here is my arrangement and let my photos speak to you.

Doesn't it feel good to have all the threads arranged in a neat way? They are so lovely to look at as well. I am still keeping my threads in plastic bags sorted according to shade, but it DOES look messy!
ReplyDeleteWell done, Shami!! :) that's neat !! Thanks for joining!!
ReplyDeleteI know I cannot work in clutter and it's difficult to organize everything. This helps in also knowing how much I really need. Not your threads, I was just referring to my messiness :) one or the other things gets messy everytime I pull something in a hurry.
