A Place for My Spools of Thread


My dad has been staying with us since January visiting.  It has been really great having him here for a lengthy stay in order to get to know his grandchildren a bit better.  The boys love having him here and have been keeping him quite busy let me tell you!

When the boys haven't been keeping him busy I've had a few projects going to keep him busy as well.  He has been doing a good job helping me get some projects done for my quilt studio.  This one that he is working on at the moment is building a spool rack out of peg board and cut wooden dowels.  It has proved to be a bit challenging considering we don't have the greatest selection of tools for him to work with, but it is coming along nicely.  I just need to paint the edges on this now as we finished screwing in all the dowels and then we can hang it!

I have a few other projects started and will keep you updated.  It will be so nice to have a place to keep my spools of thread now!
