No Stitching Today

Bobtail and I did not get any stitching done today.  We've been tackling our craft room instead.  So instead of cross stitching, I began organizing my cross stitch patterns.  First I made a list of themes that I stitch a lot of (ex. Dragons, Wild Animals, Christmas, etc.).  Then I created binder spines using teacher software for each theme.  I bought cheap 1 inch binders from Target and labeled the binders with the pretty spines.

 

Then I began going through my boxes and boxes of patterns (okay I've only actually gone through one box so far, but you get the point).  I kept the patterns I wanted from my cross stitch magazines and leaflets and placed them into page protectors.  I put the pages in the correct binder and voila--organized!

 

However, that doesn't mean I haven't been stitching lately.  I finished part 5 of my Fairy SAL and I'm almost finished with part 6.  Here's part 5 completed:
