I Want to Hold Your Thread


When I look at inspiring craft stations, I tend to moon over the racks of thread and bobbins the most. Well, and the stacks of fabric. Well, and the jars of buttons. It makes sense. I LOVE COLOR. So I love thread. This morning I made a little spool rack of my own, from some spare ribbon, paint, and a little scrap lumber we had leftover from our shelf project over the weekend. It's a sweet little addition to my craft station.



Here are some other cool spool holders:

This righteous craft station is just ... righteous. The spool holder only makes it more so.
