Georgia - The two more organised looking boxes are left over from my cross-stitching days. They are sorted by dmc number. The very messy box is the one I use most, full of the colours that I go back to time and time again.
Nicole - Yes, well...this is part of the floss collection. There is some in the cupboard as well, and in my craft room, and in my embroidery basket thingy. I am not a very well organised person and I try to battle the lack of organisation with zip lock bags. They hold current projects (embroidery work + floss) and extra floss etc. The more organised floss is DMC, the shoe box is filled with Anchor Floss (which was an Ebay bargain)
You have so many!!!
ReplyDeleteI *still* really want to try that Cosmo floss. :-)
It's not enough!
ReplyDeleteI want the Cosmo too! I inquired at an online store about costs for shipping to the Netherlands but they never answered my email! :/ I actually have friends visiting from Japan in 2 weeks time but I don't want to send them into a craft store just to satisfy my floss habit... DMC has new silky thread now as well, maybe it's comparable?
Is this the shop you tried? I couldn't find any info about postage either. http://quilters-paradise.com/cgi-bin/Store/store.cgi
ReplyDeleteThis shop says they use those flat rate envelopes. You'd think they'd be able to fit quite a bit of floss into one of those!
