More This and That

I have completed the stitch reference book.  That is…it is finished for now.  I have a half page of stitches to add to it, but since I am fusing pages together, I will wait until I have more examples that I want to stitch out before adding to the book.

I know the background that I chose is difficult for the camera, but in real life, I can see the stitches and my noted settings quite well.

And I like the color!

I have moved on to sorting buttons.

Buttons are everywhere in my sewing studio, and I want to make use of them.  But it is hard to make use of them when I don’t see what I have.

So I am taking the time to sort buttons by color into clear jars.

Then I will have to figure out how I am going to store these jars.  I want them out where I can see them…that is the whole point of sorting.  Otherwise, out of sight…out of mind.

How do you store your buttons?  Are they hiding in Great-Grandma’s band-aid box?
