What a beautiful sunny, winter morning it is here in Western NY! I can’t wait to get more stitching done today since I finally just got going again after the holiday.
I have spent the last five weeks organizing the huge amount of embroidery floss I received as a gift from my husband. Over 1000 skeins! I was so involved with getting the floss on the cardboard spools that I have only spent a couple of days stitching on my Onions and Gourds project.
Here is where I was three weeks ago on it:
and here is where I am now.
Not much, but it is something.

Lucky you with all that lovely floss! I started to put mine onto cards but gave up because it seemed to take up more space that way. Keep going with the gourds 😀

Visible progress, though. I think your floss score is a completely acceptable reason!

I do love doing a bit of floss organising. I have mine on Stitchbows and it’s very satisfying seeing them all lined up in their folders.
