A super Happy Monday to you. Creating things to help me along with my crafting always makes me happy.

I have been making a couple of these Thread Holders. I couldn't find any thin wood at the local hardware shop. I purchased a length of Balsa Wood from the Toy shop. Next time we are in Bunnings I will get some wood. In the mean time I think this will work nicely. I found the image on the net and printed it out onto thick card. Then glued it on then a coat of Acrylic Varnish to finish it. I used a thread holder that comes with cross stitch kits as a template to mark the placement for the holes. I cut up a junk mail magnet for the needle holder.

Flowers on the kitchen bench always make me happy. This lot contained Jonquils. A very powerful perfume.
Ian had a lovely Father's Day as I am sure all the Dad's did. Had to smile at the card in the craft shop window. On the front it said "Real Men don't need Manuals."
Happy Monday

Hello Bev. Back from my long break and catching up with my old friends. Wish we could grow our own pineapples too. Never here in Michigan. Your thread holder is very neat. Of course I absolutely love seeing your bouquet of flowers. I am sure they smell heavenly. Hugs Judy
