For My Spools

Before: I kept my spools in my hat box along with lots of ribbons, rick-rack and bias tape. (This picture was before organizing my loot!)

However, because my hat box couldn't fit near my sewing desk, I would end up hoarding spools of thread on the desk instead of putting them back in the hat box. Hmm... extra spools on the desk = clutter and clutter = dampened creativity.

Solution: a vintage colander! I found it at a cute little vintage shop in town :)

 So now, this fits on my sewing desk, within reach of my machine. I just have to remember to wind up the tails so they don't get tangled together. It's still so much better than keeping the spools across the room! Yay for organization!
