DIY Thread Holder

I had nearly filled up a basket with threads and have seen a couple wall mounted holders that looked interesting but I really wanted something with my own little flair. So I made one. And here's how.  First things first, I grabbed a rectangle of plywood I had from a previous project and cut it to roughly the size of what I wanted. Then I painted a background of what I wanted (inspired by Pinterest- an overly pixelated shot of Greenland. If I can find the owner of it I'll credit them.)  Once I was happy with how that turned out, I started on the framing. I measured out some trim wood (from same previous project) and painted them black. I also drilled a small hole in the center top of the board for easy and safe hanging.  My furry little helper made sure I didn't drip anywhere in his favorite area.  While those dried, I laid out where I wanted the thread spools to go and tapped in 2" nails just enough that they would stay but had most of the nail sticking out.  Even made

Green Linen Backless Dress

Inspiration from pintrest and put together in a day. Love the box pleats. Now the weather needs to work with me so I can wear it outside.

Pink pencil skirt

Remember that herringbone pencil skirt a few posts back where I forgot stretch material? I learned my lesson. After a quick hour or so of stitching here is my latest. I got a hankering for a pink pencil skirt even though I never ever wear pink. Luckily I had some extra fabric on hand from an old project and put it to use. With no slits and a blind hem I'm pretty well satisfied with it!!!

Coral with white lace Scarf

Been planning this one for a while. It's a light jersey and can't get over the beautiful color. Love it. The longest part was waiting for Joann's to get more of the same lace in.

Quilt- first and last

Made a quilt. Not making another one ever again.
