I Made it with what I had.

Today I worked on a project that kind of pushed the "envelope". I am only 6 weeks out from having a pretty major shoulder surgery. Today was the 1st day back with a spray can. So I started my day off with my new coffee mug full of Java.

MMMMMMMM

While I was in the first few weeks of recovery I bought some new threads from Connecting Threads. I was SO excited to receive a package with so many colors.

I am easily thrilled with just a bit of color in my life. While laying in my Bark-o-lounger I was thinking about how to label them. I got some clear plastic that you use for table clothes. It sticks to itself so my thread wont unravel. I cut 2X4 inch strips and wrapped each spool of thread. Then took my label maker and printed all the names of the colors. It was a way to be creative, and do something with my left hand Look at all the fun colors...... . Now that they are all labeled "How will I store them?" Again spending a lot of time in a Bark-o-Lounger, can pay off. I remembered that I had gotten these spice racks at a garage sale this summer. I didn't really know what I was going to do with them until BING the light bulb went on. I couldn't leave it like this though. So with a little shake rattle and roll this is what it looks like now. Yes I have 2 of them but I only ended up using 1 for now. But wait, wait,wait hold your horses. You have to see what it looks like all loaded up

It's Eye Candy

I don't have it hung up yet. I will have to wait until I have help or for the shoulder to get mo betta.

It was fun to do this today but now it is time to ice the shoulda....

Since I was at my sisters during all this brain storming we went to her thrift store to get her a spice rack. You can see hers all done and hung up in her studio HERE

I hope you enjoyed my eye candy. Happy Sunday
