My Cross Stitch Threads...

Well before I share all my cross stitch threads with you I thought I should say sorry for my blog silence. It has taken me a while to get used to working more hours and fitting every-thing in has been quite hard. But hopefully I am back to a routine and will be blogging on a regular basis. So I thought I would show you my boxes etc of cross stitch threads. I like DMC threads best of all as I find them the easiest to use and the colour range is fantastic. But I do have a couple of boxes of odd threads that I have either been given or purchased from charity shops.

These are the DMC threads I need for working on a Heaven and Earth Designs chart called Glimpse of a unicorn.

And these are the ones that I need for working on a different Heaven and Earth Designs chart called Old World Map

 This is my portable sewing box which I brought from the PACT charity shop that I volunteer in for a couple of hours a week. As you can see from the top photo it is pretty and in the second photo you can see the tray that is in it. It is perfect for keeping my button making things in it as well as my tin for scraps of floss, snippers, scissors and a packet of chewing gum. In the bottom of the box are loads of odd threads, great to use when I am working on small projects like christmas decorations. I take this sewing box with me when I go to Stitch and Bitch which is held at Biddy's tea room in Norwich every other Tuesday.

This tin I also brought from the PACT charity shop, it came in stuffed full of these threads. So of course I couldn't resist purchasing it. I have not used any of the threads yet as I am wading through the other ones in my sewing box !

This is the rest of my collection of DMC threads..all in number order. I love the way they look in the storage boxes..so colourful ! I get most of my DMC threads and storage boxes from a lady called Donna who has a fantastic website which is http://www.cross-stitch-heaven.co.uk/ .

Lastly I just had to share my lovely needle case. I brought this from a lady at one of the Clutter City craft fairs.

Hope you enjoyed my little collection...now to decide what to show you all next time ?
