Creative tidying

I've been stressed this week. Lots going on, decided on therapeutic sorting as a solution.
Here is all my cotton (o.k not all) now safely displayed on my new THING a friend found for me at the op shop. I love it how my people network finds things for me I didn't know I needed - but I so do! Now I might even be bothered matching my thread the the fabric I'm using.... sometimes.

That satisfying activity was marred somewhat by tangle of ribbons and odd bits of cord and rick rack that my cotton reels were being so tidily rescued from. So I got creative and cobbled together this ribbon holder / display arrangement with a length of bamboo (from the garden) and some hooks.

I re-fell in love with these three ribbons particularly.

Oh, and I actually sewed something too - an apron for a friends Mum who asked for one about six months ago (oops). But I didn't take a photo because to be quite honest it wasn't as pretty as my tidying.
