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
Great job, I love the red. I did the same thing with a spice rack to hold my little bottles of acrylic paint. You can see it here:

I've been meaning to do another one for my thread, too!
I love it!!!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea for your spice racks finds! Love the color!
ReplyDeleteI'm so stealing your idea for my thread....I think the red really makes the colors look soooo happy. I think you should hang it across from your bark-o-lounger and just look at it all the ding, dang, day long. :o) Thanks for linking up!

Love it! I have NEVER used spray paint before, I've always been scared of it! Any special instructions? I would love to try something like this.
ReplyDeleteThat was a really good idea, and it does look pretty, too!
