Spring Cleaning

The problem with lots of lovely spring sunshine is that it highlights the dust!
I've spent this morning dusting and tidying my desk (Woody shares it too, so I should say "our desk", except I don't think he cares one bit how messy it is.)
This old print tray is above my desk on the wall and holds all my sewing thread, plus a few special little bits and pieces.
I do love it, but oh my it's a dust trap!


There is something so very satisfying about filling all the little spaces, and I get such a thrill from all the pattern potential....actually sometimes I get in a tizz trying to decide if I should arrange the colours in a rainbow, or in tones, or seasons....




Now, if only the rest of my housework was as much fun.

Don't be shy, say hello!

  2. Just the sight of all that colorful, tidy thread makes me happy.

    I need to put your picture in front of my face and carry it around. And pretend my house looks that good.

  3. I love it, I've always had a bit of a thing for print trays and lots of teeny tiny bits nicely organising inside them! Covet, covet!

  5. The only housework I actually come close to enjoying is dusting - it is really just an excuse to play with my books, ornaments and photos ;)
