Embroidery and WOYWW

I've recently been making a few cards and enjoying the process of dyeing the backgrounds and embroidering the flowers - it's very relaxing.

A while back I came across a holder for embroidery thread bobbins and decided it would be ideal to separate and hold the colours I was currently working with. I just couldn't justify the rather high price of it so the Hubs made one for me - it does the job and keeps the spools tidily in one place while I'm working.   This holds 7 bobbins - a perfect size as I rarely need that many at a time, and I also didn't want it to take up too much room on my desk. 


After 15 years of running WOYWW, Julia has decided to pass the baton on to Sarah.  A big thank you to Julia for all the wonderful work she has done keeping the blog hop up and running for so long - she's done a tremendous job but is now off enjoying a well deserved Wednesday rest and new directions.  So hello to Sarah, and an appreciative thank you for deciding to keep this group going!  
I'm linking up with Sarah over at WOYWW

    Gorgeous embroidery and super storage and holder. I've just got into using stitching in my junk journaling but there is a limit to how much I can do before my left hand goes numb (about 3 french knots!) not good :( Love the dyed fabrics they are go cool with the embroidery, such beautiful cards. Hugs BJ#3

    So lovely to see you on the desks at WOYWW’s new location! Your embroidered and painted cards are so gorgeous, love all the colours! I have floss storage envy, lol! Your hubby did a great job of making the stand and look at all the beautiful colours of the flosses stored in that plastic box behind….oooh….was that something specifically designed for threads or did you do some wrangling?

    Hi Diana, it's great to see you here again and loving the new designs. I'm a bit late getting round today as I got the message this morning that my mum died early this morning but it's a relief for her as she's not been doing too well for some time, she was 95. Hope to see you around again. Wishing you a very happy and creative woyww, Angela x13x
