I have had the pleasure of making countless numbers of
curtains, pillows, blankets, and even clothes. I’ve always had to have to stow away
my sewing machine in the case in a closet and take it down every time I wanted
to use it. Recently my wonderful husband has found a way for me to keep out my
sewing machine! Thanks to his open-mindedness and
talent for organization (a common trait we share hehe) I now have a nice sewing
corner in our dining room. It has been so wonderful!
I just have to tell you, my husband is so creative! He has a
way of seeing the value in things and re-purposing them into wonderful new
things – especially when it comes to organization. We were definitely made for
each other. J
I was explaining to him that I wish I didn’t have to dig
into my sewing basket every time I wanted to change the color of my thread, but
of course I wasn’t going to go out and buy a thread rack like they sell in the
craft stores. I could think of a million other more important things to spend
our money on. 
Within two days he
came up with this! Something we had in the house, and something that was an
extra piece from our kids Christmas gift! Really didn’t cost us a thing – the
wooden box was part of toy train packaging! He added some hooks for me to hang it – I
painted it (with paint I already had) and added elastic to keep the spools from
falling off (already had that too)!
We as a couple have been more inspired in recent years to
re-use, re-purpose, and re-design old things simply out of necessity. Even
though we have been blessed with more resources this past year we want to continue
to do everything we can to be good stewards of what God blesses us with. I mean
everything – even the “small” things.
I am so thankful for the little things He blesses us with
each and every day!
