A Question and a Giveaway

I'm sure I've mentioned more than once that I am in the process of moving. Trying to merge 2 households in to 1 is no mean feat though and is proving to be a more protracted process than I had hoped, it's just hard to find the time to fit everything in.

Anyway, it's proving to be good in the fact that it's making me have a darn good sort out. In the process of moving my stitch stuff I've been thinking about how I store all my bits and pieces. When I was making a lot of postcards I found it easier to keep everything grouped together by colour, but now I'm wondering about changing it all round so all the buttons are together, all the ribbons, beads etc, but part of me is wondering do I really need to do this or is it just an excuse for me to avoid doing some of the other jobs I'm trying to put off?
So my question is how do you store yours?

This is my 700th post, so if you leave a comment by the end of the week with your suggestions, a way for me to get in touch with you and tell me your favourite colour I'll send you a thank you by way of some bits and pieces from my embellishment boxes.

At the Machine

Not much going on round here in the creative stakes the last few days. But my sewing machine did get a recent work out making some curtains for my sister's new place.

Nothing fancy just a huge piece of voile that needed some hemming. It's quite theraputic to sit at the machine for a while and let your brain switch off for a while, while stitching a few straight lines.
