Days 5, 6, 7: Guess what?

Day 5:

I found a few more bits and bobs of embroidery threads, noted them in the spreadsheet, and put them in the appropriate floss storage boxes! (no pic)

Day 6:

I found some more floss, noted them in the spreadsheet, and put them in the appropriate floss storage boxes! I also got all the drawers labeled, so I should be able to find floss more easily!



I can say that I'm about 95% done with this project, and not 100% done, because I KNOW that I will find more floss as I continue to organize and clean the craft storage space.

Day 7:

I cleared off the top of the shelves where the floss storage boxes were going, wiped of the tops of the shelves and got all of the floss storage boxes put up!







I also got about 10 stitches done in one of my cross stitch WIPs, but it wasn't enough that I took a picture. Maybe more today.


And just for posterity, here's all the boxes and baskets (that held stuffed full plastic bags) that the floss was in.



And here's how it all looks now!

I have floss storage envy :-D

Oh, I did too for a long time. I got the DMC floss boxes more than a year ago from a craft store where they had switched to Sullivan floss AND my mom knew one of the employees, and the capper is that he GAVE them to me. None of the boxes are cosmetically perfect --stains, broken drawers, and even some graffiti-- but cosmetics doesn't matter to me much, and they are PERFECT for floss storage. To think that they have been waiting all this time to be useful! I still have more in the garage waiting to be repurposed; I think I will be using them to store embroidery cloth, plastic canvas supplies, and charts, and maybe sewing thread.
