I updated my blog with some info about the summer and pictures of my sewing desk. I noticed you can see my ort port(glass decanter) just behind the cross stitch on the desk. Does anyone still save the thread clippings. There was a long discussion about ort ports a long time ago. What to use, what to do with the threads when it is full, etc. I put other things in it besides threads, mostly the 1 or 2 loose beads you always find after putting the beads away, or the sequin that you couldn't find after you dropped in on the floor, but there it was in plain sight this morning. I made a couple of christmas ornaments by putting snips of thread and metalics in clear glass balls I got from the craft store. I added beads, glitter, and sequins to mine. It made them a different sort of record of my work. I guess you could use them on scrapbook pages or art pieces. Some people put the thread snips out for the birds in the spring, for their nest building. Just a random question from my swiss cheese mind.
