SBQ: Belated and the new one

7th of August, 2008

This week's SBQ was suggested by yours truly and is:

What do you do to your thread clippings? Do you just scrap them or do you use them in something else?

I store my clippings in a bowl, and when the bowl is full I move them to a large glass jar. It's rather decorative and I do use them sometimes with polyester filling when finishing needlework smalls.

This week's SBQ was suggested by Dawn and is:

If you had to choose, would you rather spend money on overdyed floss or hand-dyed fabric?

This is easy: on floss, as overdyed floss always looks nicer on stock shades (like flax or pure white linen) and it's more cost effective in general (and nowadays I have to think of that because I need to save for the plane ticket).

Some quotes...

I gathered these yesterday when looking for a signature line, but as I was adjusting of being far away from mr.Wonderful I wasn't in the mood for blogging - before he called me in the middle of the night just to say that he loves me.
