This black tin tub was on sale at Michael's for 50% off so I grabbed it up. Immediately I thought of stuffing it with smalls but I don't have any except ornaments! But for those of you that do, I think they would display really well in one of these. Years ago a stitcher finished off all of her Thread Pack Fruits (there are 12) and filled them in a basket if my memory serves me right. I thought it was so adorable.
Just a cute idea for those of you looking for spaces and places to store the little stitches in life. :)
Happy Stitching,
Diane
That is adorable...
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! I use small baskets for that. :)
ReplyDeleteVery neat! I was just in the neighborhood of our Michael's this afternoon but didn't stop in. I'll need to go back and see if I can find one of these.
ReplyDeleteIt was raining so hard and traffic so fad, I figured I'd better get home.
Very neat!! Love the mini tub, wish we had a Michaels up here. I'd head right on over. Grat find.
ReplyDeleteDiane, I think your referring to a post you did on June 07, 2010. There is a basket with some of your fruit thread packs finished in it called "Fruit Salad". I love that idea! I'll have to see if I can find the tub and do that with all my fruit charts. I have all 12 of the thread packs and didn't know how to finish them. :)

Yes, that's it!
DeleteDiane - what a great idea. I see it as the perfect hostess gift at Christmas time or you could fill it with hearts for Valentines, Bunnies for Easter etc. The tub is adorable. I'm headed to Michaels in Phoenix tomorrow and see if any are left! Thanks for the great idea.
ReplyDeleteGreat find! Your ornaments look great in it.
ReplyDeleteThis will be perfect year round for displaying all your stitching smalls! Great find! I never seem to come across bargains like this.
