Attachment 13957Attachment 13958 When I'm tatting at home, I have an old Kraft macaroni cup to keep my thread in. That way it doesn't tumble on the floor. My bobbins are in a bobbin case that has removable panels, so my shuttles will fit and various bobbins in other sections. Also, in there are some plastic bread tags. I wrap small amounts of left over threads on them. In the background there is also an old plastic box from some sanitary wipes. I use it to hold whatever tatting I'm working on when I'm out and about. The lid snaps on nicely, so it can be put in a bag and nothing get jostled about. When it's at home, I've stored my beads and findings in it. Also, I need more than one size of needle. So, at home my little stuffed mouse holds any needle I require, eg. one for removing mistakes, another for threading to put some beads on, etc. And I keep a very pointy pair of embroidery scissors, for close snipping. I used to have a pair of scissors that were curved. But I frequently managed to snip my fingers while trying to cut threads. I seem to be somewhere between blonde and senior. he he.
