Time to color!

Yep, it is time to color in Yoga. I have finished all the confetti stitches so the only colors left are DMC 938 and 834. Very exciting!
I cashed in some swag bucks and a mypoints certificate for a total of $100 in Amazon GC! I ordered an entire set of Brother embroidery thread and two floss bobbin containers. I am thinking of switching from floss bags to bobbins. My bags are starting to tear easier than before. Plus all my floss takesup an entire shelf and about 10 plastic shoe boxes!

Question: how do you store your floss? I am looking for suggestions.

ummm...floss storage...I store my dmc on the bobbins in the plastic cases...I also have a hot wheel case full on bobbins--can't think what it is called at the moment..
I have all of my specialty floss in bags either in the little binders or in bags in floss holders my husband made for me...

I love it when you don't have to concentrate on counting stitches it goes much faster.
I store my DMC on bobbins and my speciality threads in baggies. Spare dmc is stored in plastic bags grouped in 100s.

Yoga's looking good!! Floss storage - I have all mine in bags. I have large cabinets with plastic drawers that are for nails, screws, etc. Each color has its own drawer. All the specialty flosses are filed by designer in photoboxes with dividers between them.

Yoga is looking great!!!! Keep up the great work. I store my floss on the DMC bobbins & in bobbin cases that you can get at Michael's or any craft store should have them. I use the floss bags or snack bags from Walmart to hold my bobbins of floss with whatever project I am working on. I separate the bobbins into the bags according to number. Hope this is helpful!!!
