Well, let's see... My machine quilting threads are on a wall-mount thread rack. It's overfilled and I need to get another one. Those bobbins are stored in rubber rings, usually hanging on one of the pegs. My serger threads are scattered on a few small decorative shelves over one of my tables. There's not enough room, really, but it's all I have. I piece with these threads, so they're close. These bobbins reside in a tableside basket with my most used tools. My embroidery threads are stored in 12" thread boxes with clear lids. The 3 boxes sit on top of each other behind my embroidery machine. I have a plastic hinged-lid box with some misc. Coats & Clark that I did out of the closet for garment sewing. These bobbins are on a different colored rubber ring that stays with them. I also have a huge collection of older, larger industrial spools of cotton threads. I don't use these much anymore and have considered just tossing them. It seems a bit wasteful, even though I don't use them, so they stay in a shelf/drawer that hangs on the closet system. I think that's about what I have. And today I've realized that I need a few more! LOL

Always test everything before using it on your quilt. I tried the PressNSeal for hand quilting some floral designs. To draw the design onto the PNS, I tried ballpoint pen, Sharpie pen, and also some of the lighter color markers. The problem I had, even though I let them all dry for 48 hours first, the color of the marker kept rubbing off onto my thread. The thread got darker and darker. When I took it out, there were dots on the fabric. Using it as a stencil might work with removable markers, but I'm not sure if chalk would stay on the fabric when you pull off the PNS? BlueBars

I have a white/gray stone tile and it's thicker than a typical subway tile. Tonight at Home Depot I put a Schluter brushed metal tile edge against it and was surprisingly pleased with the result. Even though it's a vintage (1920's) style kitchen, it works with some of the modern elements like the stainless steel fridge and lighting fixture.

Ohhhh....I was the one who posted that. Well, I was just so-so on keeping my resolutions. I did try more yoga and meditation. It seemed easier for me to meditate regularly (nothing major, just 5-10 min every morning) when I was going to yoga regularly. They just seemed to go hand in hand. Then I did something to my shoulder, and I had to stop yoga. Still hoping to get back to both activities, because I do think they were beneficial to my mental health...just not for my wonky shoulder. This fall, our family life seemed more "settled" than it had been for quite a while. Oldest DS found a job that seems like a good fit, second DS was feeling more settled in college, and DD was very happy starting high school. Then DH walked into a tree branch in Nov. and ended up at the ER and then had to see an opthalmologist every day for about 10 days, over Thanksgiving, to monitor the healing closely. That healed, although he is on an eye medication until spring! Then, a couple of weeks before Christmas, he woke up with a sore neck, which turned into a lot of pain plus numbness in his arm and hand...long story short, he has 3 herniated discs. So the last month has been a total drag for him, and for me to be honest! Meanwhile, DD is in a back brace for 4-6 weeks due to a gymnastics injury, so I am dealing with her both physically (driving her to conditioning and PT and now, accupuncture) as well as emotionally (it's a huge disappointment that she might miss her entire competitive season). So...see yoga and meditation. I need some of that again! My new years resolution this year is to put all of this in perspective and hope for better health for my family! And I still haven't looked into Invisalign. Doh.
