I have reading on a few blogs about the way everyone stores there floss. So I thought I would share what I do to store my floss and threads
DMC floss is store 2 ways
The first way is the floss is wrapped on bobbins and these are the ones that I work from and use on my current projects.
and my extra ones are stored in plastic floss keeper bags and are kept in a drawer in my craft room until I run out of one that is on a bobbin or is kitted in another project.
My WDW , GAST & CC are stored in a 3 ring binders. I have 3 notebooks, one for each of the different kinds of thread.
I try to keep them in alphabetic order for the most part.
And as you can see I use Business Card pages and the threads fit perfectly in them, and you can see them at a glance.
Well that's how I keep my threads organized and it seems to work for me.
Now for some progress pictures
Enchanted Alphabet - I just need to finish the letter Z and a few other things and it will done. (hope to have it done soon!)
Metamorphosis is coming alone - I like working on this one because you don't have to change colors all the time.
And of course I have to include a picture of my granddaughter, she is spending the day with me today.
Off to read some more blogs and do a little stitching while the little one takes her nap!
Happy Stitching

The binder floss storage is interesting... gonna have to give that some thought. Your stitching and GD are lovely!
I'm currently winding my flosses so this was a timely post!
Lovely stitchy progress! Your granddaughter is a cutie!
Just love the binder idea! I have been looking for a storage solution for my hand-dyed floss, so I may just have to try this. Thanks for sharing!
Hope you had a fun day with your grand-daughter too :^)
Beautiful grand daughter! And so organized! My floss is in bags and bins for storage. Although I do have floss on bobbins in a container for current projects. Beautiful stitching, Deb
all of my dmc is in the plastic containers like that...the craft store sizes & the 'jammers' boxes.
BUT.........I love the binder/business card idea for the speciality flosses....so much easier to see than in the plastic things I got at hobby lobby for them!!
Your granddaughter is a cutie!!
