Found this at the $ store. Ain't it just the cutest thing ever --- for a "Ladybug" like myself??? Now, I can sweep up my li'l scrap materials, in style. :-)
Then........was searching our "Used onsite" (just on a whim) and I found this adorable thread holder. But there's more to the story than just that. :-)
I was e-mailing the seller back/forth, not realizing that it was someone I actually knew from long time ago. When I pulled up at her house, & we saw each other, we had a good chuckle over it. Anyway, her hubby made this one but she had actually made one previously and created the pattern for it. It meant a whole lot more to me that it was handmade by her & her hubby.
Thanks, Roxie!!!
It holds 40 spools of embroidery thread and all sorts of ideas have been swimming in my li'l head as to how to jazz it up. It's a fair size:- 24" x 18" (hence, li'l prob. as to where to put it). At first I hummed/hawwed about getting it, because I have noooooooowhere to put it, but hubby said I'd kick myself if I didn't get it, and I'm soooooo glad I did now. Ain't it a beauty???
Linda, that is so cute!!! And, I'm rolling on the floor laughing because it's just like you to find something "just like you"! LOL! You always find the coolest things!

AHHHH! lol How cute??? I love ladybugs too because my daddy nicknamed me Bug a few years ago. And I always wear my ladybug ring. I'll have to take a picture of it for you! But that broom set is adorable! Wish we had a dollar store in Alaska. I think we have like 1 $1.99 or something like that. lol
ReplyDeleteWhat a fun story! That is darling. Fun to see old friends.
