Going through my floss boxes

I have most on bobbins in the cases.

some specialty thread. I keep them stored in a old disk box (floppy disk)

the left over floss from kits- that I know is DMC floss I keep in these drawers in baggies.
hubby got me these boxes where he used to work. I love them!!!!!

Colton & his great, great grandma(memaw)

to put this in context -- Colton is baby #30 (he is the 3rd great great grandchild)
this number includes the grands, great grands & great great grands. there are 10 of us grands- we had 17 great grands, & they had 3 great great grands (so far)
our Memaw had 6 kids. (but we didn't include them in the final number LOL).
I was baby #4.

more on Kathy

The news is not good at all.
they found mutiple spots on her brain to many to count.
they are going to treat it with radation she will have 14- 15 treatments
one a day for 14-15 days. she now has 2 behind her. so hopefully this
will help out some & make her more comfortable. they did tell her she would lose
her hair & that it would be permanet hair loss. So I will be helping her to
get a wig & caps, etc either over the weekend or next week. depending on
how she is feeling.
thanks to all for your prayers, hugs & good thoughts.
just remember if u haven't heard from me in awhile that I am tending to
Kathy
LOVES
Rhonda

Prayers for Kathy please

As many of you know my sis-in-law Kathy also has breast cancer that has metatics to her bones. we went to the dr last week, she told them she had been having headaches these past 2 weeks or so, so they schelduled an MRI. she went yesterday 8-15-12(WED) to have the MRI done, she left the hospital at 1:30PM & by 3P they were calling me trying to find her.They needed for her to come into the office ASAP.

the found some spots on her brain, she has to go to the radiologist today. for a radition treatment, they have gotten her started on steriods now too. We will find out more today when we go to the radiologist so I will know how many spots & how big etc... so as soon as I know something I will let you all know. I am beside myself right now. this means her cancer has spread to her skull (it wasn't there before) so hopefully know her insurance company will pay to have the PET scan done so we can really see where everything is.

BLog Hop #7 leftover threads

The theme for Blog Hop #7 is leftover floss and threads.
What do you do with the floss, thread, beads, and other elements you have left over from full project kits?

If I know it is DMC floss I put it in baggies to reuse. If it is the no name brand I usually put it in my ort jar.
BEads & specialty threads I usually keep to reuse in another project.
