I have a couple of similar plastic boxes for my bulk stash, materials and charts etc.
Then I have DMC bobbin boxes and plastic bobbins for my threads, and a pako organiser and a perspex bead box for my needles



ally, I looove the original bag - but we've had a couple of German Shepherds over the years, so maybe I'm a little prejudiced?! lol

My fabric stash is kept in a "nappy sorter" box (one of those big boxes that you're supposed to keep all your bits and bobs for changing nappies in - LOL!), my flosses are in several plastic bobbin boxes on cardboard bobbins (one for DMC, one for Anchor and one for Misc.). All my charts are in a lever arch binder and are kept with my books next to the sofa, along with all the other stash. :)

I got some HUGE cardboard gift boxes (the patterned ones) that the local newsagent had out cheaply. They are really great. i got a few and in one is my finished work, another has the kits, another has just christmas cross stitch kits and bits and another has stamped linen cross stitch and doileys to make up ect..oh and another has towels and the last has odd bits such as fabric, needles, extra threads, magazines, mini kits ect..

Hmmm, thats alot of boxes now I think about it.

I have this which houses my meagre stash of beads

I have my kits and charts in waiting in various bags too well out of my reach so that I can finish what I have started first!

I also have a proper workbox which houses all my bits and bobs for stitching with!

I have a couple of similar boxes to house my different threads and things in, but my main stash is kept in a wooden 'bedding box'. You know the type the you put at the end of your bed to store all your sheets and things in. Mine however fits accross a double bed and is almost overflowing! much to my husbands disgust! and thats just my cross stitch stash. I have many other stash's too in various places around the house!

Hi Ally, my stash is in a similar box to yours, along with 4 plastic organiser boxes for my threads and a little tower of individual compartments for my beads.

Just wanted to say...as soon as I saw your first pic I too fell in love with the dog. I have been yearning for a GS for some time now (was bought up with them). Finally hubby is agreeing (sort of). I spend more time on GS sites now than stitching!

OK, so I keep my stash in a plastic drawer bin (single drawer) about 1-1/2 x 2 feet from Walmart. But after reading this thread, I had to go find out what a pako is.

My current project is fairly complex, so I will sometimes finish a section with thread left. I do half the stitch, remove the needs, and let the thread hang. Since I work a quadrant at a time, it hasn't caused me a problem. Sort of a modified, do-it-yourself pako.

I mark completed rows with a yellow highlighter, so I can (usually) figure out where to pick up a the color again. :idea:
