Twine is too pretty to just store away so no one can see! I store my twine on little wooden spools that can hold approx 12 yds and then put them on spool holders. I also store my seam binding ribbon and silk ribbon like this too.

Divine Twine and Trendy Twine and Timeless Twine OH MY!
Wowy! I'll be getting about 220 yards (10 yds each of 22 different kinds) of Twine in the mail over the next week! I participated in a couple Twine Shares (Trendy Twine and Timeless Twine) on the Cricut Messageboard for a steal ($8.75 for 10yds each of 11 different twines) and then I won 110 yds of Divine Twine (10 yds each of 11 different twines) on Ebay for $7.50! So excited! I love twine, can you tell?????
And well what's a girl to do about storing all this Twine? I can't simply put it in a box and hide it away! NO! Twine is beatiful and needs to be displayed properly! So I found these cute wooden spools on Etsy and ordered 50 of them! Each spool can hold 10 yds of 4 ply twine and the extra spools will hold most of my seam binding! So stinkin' EXCITED!
I have no new crafts today to share. Hoping to get something done tomorrow. Gotta RUN - literally. On my way out to run trails with my husband and his running buddy in 91 degree weather. Just call me CRAZY! There's a race I want to run a good time in on Father's day so I got to get some good runs in.

A New Layout
Here is the layout I finished today. I used a sketch this time because I was just drawing a blank (sketch from Allison Davis). I kept it simple and added quite a bit of sewing to it even though my machine was acting up and my stitches aren't perfect - oh well. I used Inkscape to form my text in a circle and then cut it out with my MS circle cutter.
The pictures are of my younger son getting his ear pierced. His older brother has his done and he insisted through the tears. We had to have it done at a tattoo/piercing shop with an actual needle because he has extremely sensitive skin and needed special earrings.

2011 Calendar
I use the top portion of the hanging calendar for photos of things that happened that month so pictures don't go on till the end of the month which is why June has an empty top. I ink around the edges of the top portion to match the calendar for that month and then once the pictures are on I add little captions so that when I look back years later I know what was going on.
