You are keeping me to the straight and narrow


I decided that I would try and do a blog post every day during Lent.  That might seem a rather strange decision but my reasoning is that if I'm going to write a blog post every day I have to do something purposefully every day!   Simples!  So today I've decluttered another drawer. 
Before

After



Before I started on this chest of drawers I thought I'd got only one embroidery hoop.  


Hoop la anyone?

  2. I have unearthed my little hoops, the plan is to fill them with pretty fabric and trim and hang them on the wall.

  3. I've 5 hoops hanging in the craft room, how or why I don't know because I've never used one!

    1. Do you think they breed? Mind you, yours would defy science if they bred without you having any to start off with.

  4. Look through your fabric stash and see if there is a colorful print you could put in the hoops and then hang up as a cheap decorative feature? Saw it done recently in an article using a piece of embroidery and in another using a vintage printed headscarf.

    1. Hahaha! I was "tidying" up a drawer yesterday and I found six -- yes six -- or the same quilting ruler that I forgot I had!
