The school holidays have arrived - again! So time for some sewing at home. Today we stitched up some art using embroidery floss and buttons. This was the first time I let my biggest Little One free with a pile of embroidery threads - it took her about two seconds to have most of them in a complete mess - perfect for a nesting bird. So this evening I made some little cardboard bobbins in an attempt to halt (or perhaps just lessen a little bit??!) the mass of knotted threads in the future. We will see if it works....fingers crossed!

Cool! Great idea for using left over embroidery thread and ribbon. The wood buttons look funky and rustic!
