Wish List: Thread Holder

As my embroidery thread collection grows, my sewing box begins to look smaller and smaller which gets me to thinking that I think I need a special holder to display the threads. 

The one above mounts right to the wall, something that I don't necessarily like the look of unless I were to have my own studio but since of the lack of space I have at the moment, I'm willing to compromise. This one holds 60 spools which is definitely more than enough! 

If I had only known at the time that I had gotten my machine that my collection would have grown so fast I definitely would have purchased the holder with some starter threads that they were selling at the fabric store. 

lesson learned. 

Anyone else embroider or have a sewing machine that they use on a regular basis?!

Goal: Sewing/Embroidery

For my graduation from college, my grandparents gave me one of the greatest gifts I've ever received, sewing/embroider machine. It's the Husqvarna Viking: Designer Topaz 30 and it's perfection, I'm seriously in love with it.

I have created and sewn many hours on the machine and I will definitely have this machine for the rest of my life. What I haven't done recently is actually use it for embroidery. Sad. I know. That's what my goal is though in the next couple of months, to actually use it to all it's power.

There are a few embroidery sites that I seem to always go to when I'm in the mood to embroider. The first being, Urban Threads.  The site is a little strange for some of the items but they do have a lot of nautically inspired designs and raven themed designs that I can't wait to embroider on everything!

I'm kind of in love with both of these.

Not sure what I'll ever do with this one but I definitely need to. 

possibly a pencil or make up brush case??

I definitely plan on purchasing all these designs in the very near future and embroidering my life away for hours on end! 

How many of you sew or embroider?!
