Giving away Aurifil thread to five lucky winners on f="http://www.littlebluebell.com/2012/05/zakka-style-sew-along-week-6-itty-bitty.html>my blog! Ends May 11, 2012
I have three of these things stuffed full of embroidery thread back from the days when I cross-stitched. Which would probably be sometime in the mid-90's. It's all ready for me to break out and use again. Although why I didn't just break it out to embroidery with is beyond me. Anyhow, it's great having all of this thread for stitching! More blogged here.

Lots of tiny spools of thread, misc sewing necessities, two books I've finished reading, my planner and ibuds are tucked away in this corner.

NOTE: Look "wall-eyed" at the top pair or "cross-eyed" at the bottom pair to get a 3D image from the fused pictures. Another illustration.
Here's a helpful tip for viewing stereo pairs.
Neil Creek has even more information about 3D photo viewing.

I love love love the 9 new Kreinik metallic thread colors. They have just a touch of 'pearl' in them - when you stitch with them they look like candy. Doug Kreinik said he was inspired by German and Polish glass when he came up with the colors. They are really fun to stitch with and have a subtle shimmer.

The white epoxy I used to attach the ceramic thread guide to the machine. I did something similar to my Gammill with Faststeel which only comes in steel color. When I saw the white at the hardware store, that's the color I wanted to use! I think it may have been a buck more for the white, but I am too OCD not to have gone this way.
