I’m looking forward to seeing your work completed. Also, seeing all that floss gave me chills. *jealous*

Hi y'all!
Bobbin envy is a wonderful thing. I did enjoy winding the bobbins up, in a sort of "wow my arm is getting tired" kinda way.
But I love having them all in order now.

@muffin - I tried the bows once, but couldn't find a way to organise them thereafter. So resorted to the old ways.

@Brook - I have adopted the zen approach with the threads. The effort put in at the early stages pays dividends in the long run.

I am resisting the temptation to make a spreadsheet with the threads on. That's moving from zen to geek, so I shall resist..!

mmmm looks nice! I try to be organized by putting them together by color… but I always fuck it up! but i do put the little number stickers on! So I am not that much of a lazy ass!

i love the floss bows…just bend the bow and slide the floss on. that way you don’t have to rewind everything and then have it have the creases every inch or so…

but that is me!

i am jealous of the sheer quantity!

This makes me want to go buy tons of floss and wrap them all up! I bet your fingers are sore.
