We have been engaged on our winter undertaking checklist, and one in every of my line objects is mending. I’ve an enormous pile of it, however have been annoyed as a result of my stitching instruments are by no means in a single spot. A part of the issue is that my studio turned a storage space once we began engaged on the home. The identical was true of the additional bed room, and each time we begin engaged on one other a part of the home, every part will get moved and shuffled about. So nothing has a house, and I can by no means discover something. A few of my stitching instruments are in baskets, some are the stitching machine cupboard, some are within the mending field, and a few are ??? It appears I am at all times attempting to find one thing earlier than I can get began. 

Time to get organized! When I discovered this cute wood field for $3 at a resale store, I could not resist shopping for it.

It is the proper measurement to maintain every part I would like for stitching. 

A number of of the objects within the field are particular to me.

These little wooden packing containers had been presents from my granddaughters.

One is ideal for security pins, the opposite is ideal for my tape measure.

These got here from my great-grandparents

The thimble is 10k gold and belonged to my great-grandmother. She was a quilter. The metal container that I exploit as a needle case was my great-grandfather’s. The embossed phrases say. “Colgate & Co. Shaving Stick New York U.S.A.”

Buttons are useful to have so I made a button lid for a half-pint canning jar.

Moreover scissors, thread, and a pin cushion, different helpful objects …

Needle threaders, scissors sharpener, seam ripper, and darning egg.

Every little thing matches properly within the field and there is nonetheless sufficient room for small tasks I am engaged on. And it is ornamental sufficient that I will be completely happy to maintain it out and never be tempted to stuff it away someplace the place it is out of sight. I believe this can be a good step towards a productive winter!
