Today’s SBQ was suggested by Outi and is:
What do you do to your thread clippings? Do you just scrap them or do you use them in something else?
I used to keep a little trash can beside my stitching chair that I tossed my thread clippings in when I snipped them off. However, I got tired of the cats constantly turning over the can and scattering things everywhere so I retired it. Nowadays I just put all my clippings in a little pile next to my scissors as I am stitching and when I am finished for the evening I gather up all the clippings and throw them away.

Thanks to Jennifer at Sweet Pea Stitches and Shelleen at Shelleen’s Musings for naming me for the Brilliant and Kreativ blog awards respectively. I think I am about the last person to be named for these awards, but I would like to mention six blogs that I would name as Brilliant and Kreativ because in one way or another, these ladies’ blogs and their stitching inspires me. (I chose six because it is a happy medium between the seven you are supposed to name for Brilliant Blogs and the five for Kreativ).
P.S. For anyone who wonders who the designers I stitch are, I tag all my posts with the designer name and usually the name of the pattern as well. Although the tags don’t show up in Google reader (I don’t know about other readers) you can always visit my blog and check out the tags. Dawn’s Round Robin is from a Stoney Creek leaflet called “Snow Happens.”

Oh my goodness, Renee. Thank you for the link. You inspire me too. I love your stitching. I can’t tell you how much time I spend in your galleries looking at your work. You have so many designs that I want to do just because I love the look after you have finished them, lol. Thank you for always creating such beautiful work.
I will comment again when I get my SBQ answer posted.
Congrats on the awards. You deserved them.

My simple answer is up. I’m really interested in learning what other people have found to do with their oorts.
