Not much stitching but some crafting instead!

After I saw the lovely thread drops that Deb had in her stash sale (here) I decided to play around with my craft punches and make some thread drops like hers and I then thought that some personalized ones would be nice so this is what I came up with. I can change the wording and the colour too. Neat eh? I think they might be nice extras for my future exchange packages too but, of course, with my partner's name on instead of mine.

I haven't done much stitching this past few days although I did finish stitching my piece for Jayne's Attic Monthly Stitching Challenge. I have decided how to finish but need to find some co-ordinating fabric. I might start a Christmas ornament later today.

I am in a bit of pain as I did something to my back a couple of days ago. I hope it will clear up soon.

Short and sweet today.

Thanks for visiting

Take care

Hi Carol!
Those are lovely little thread drops - they look like little clouds! I have chronic back pain, so I know what it feels like, take care, and may you feel better very soon!

Your thread drops are adorable! Why didn't I think of that? Did you use card stock? The scalloped edges are a nice touch.

I hope you are feeling better. Hate back pain. Love my chiropractor!
The thread drops are awesome! I've had a simular idea running in my head, just don't have the tools--thinking Camp giftie! Did you use plastic or card stock?
Happy stitching!

Hope you are feeling better. Your thread drops are very kewl. I bought some bunny shape ones & enjoy using them. I seem to use the thread drops more frequently than the floss-away-bags.
