Caught

One of my weirder habits is to photograph the thread snips and fabric bits that I clean out of my thread catcher when it's filled.

I think it looks neat. I also try to match up the layers with the projects I've worked on in the past few months. There is a lot of perle thread snips from my recycled linen quilt, and pretty embroidering floss from my calendar scroll project.

I also save what I clean out in little sandwish baggies. I'm hoping to find a way to resuse these bits in a craft project one day, but until then they live in my sewing recycle bin. Yes, I know -- I warned you it was a weird habit! Ha.
