A better day!

I want to apologize for my rant yesterday (maybe I should just delete it). I don’t want to have that tone at my blog. ~ ~ Moving On!!

I liked the fabric that I picked up yesterday so much that I decided I had to make something with it this morning. I didn’t use interfacing so it is a little floppy with just a layer of flannel (maybe two layers would do the trick). But after some trial and error I came up with this little roll using those great Kelmscott thread rings – I think it turned out fine.

My bead collection is growing, I’ve seen those bead organizers but I like to just dump them on a platter and see what catches my eye. I made a new purple fob and added it to my Fobs 4 Sale link above.

I’ve had some emails about the pink linens in my last post. They are all Belfast (32ct) and in order from light to dark are Bo Peep Pink, Baby Lotion, and Cameo Rose.

Mary K….I love your thread rolls. I will have to put that on my list of things to make.

Sue 😉

Very cute but how do you tell what the color is after taking the tag off that shows the name of the thread?

I love your thread roll!! I’ve been thinking about making something like this, and yours is just what I had in mind!! Thanks for sharing a great idea.

beautemous! You are so clever and I love your girly pinks. Thanks again for sharing the names of those linens… I will be ordering in the future!

The thread roll is such a good idea. It would make great gifts for my friends at Christmas so I thank you for showing it.

Mary Kathryn, this is absolutely fabulous! It’s beautiful and functional.

I love the thread roll!

Love your thread roll, it’s beautiful!!!

I too love your thread roll! It’s so pretty! Don’t worry about your little rant, we all have days like that! We are here for you – good or bad! 🙂

It is perfectly fine to rant sometimes. I love your bead bowl with increasing collection of beads. I need to try to make those bead fobs too. I have been wanting to do that for years and have quite some collection of things to work on. The fabric and quilt fabric are so pretty. Have a great weekend.

Hi, what a beautiful thread roll, the fabric is absolutely gorgeous. 🙂

That thread roll is so cute! I have had those rings and still not used them. I also think you bowl of beads is an amazing site to see! What a pretty thing to see and would make me want to dig in there and look through all those pretty beads.
