It's okay, I haven't had any more accidents - one broken arm at a time is enough for anyone! Apparently (according to DH), I can't be trusted to shop - online - unsupervised!
In his defence, I have previous form ... a few years ago, I bought an Ikea table for my sewing room (which is in the loft) and it was too big to go through the ceiling hatch ... DH had to saw some inches off it AND unscrew the loft ladder before we finally got it up there! In MY defence, when I saw the picture of the table in the Ikea catalogue, to me it looked like it would fit!
So, when I saw this display cabinet on eBay:
I thought it looked like it was the same size as this one I already have and would be a perfect fit in my sewing room (you can never have enough fabric storage, hey?):
In fact, it's a little bit smaller:
But it will be excellent for displaying my threads:

Might need DH to give me some lessons in reading dimensions! Oh, and can we please agree not to tell him about the 'large scraps bin' that was delivered this morning:
Linking up with Lorna:
Ha, ha, ha! You are hilarious! I was expecting your new shelf to be HUGE! But the new scraps bin sure makes up for what the shelf is lacking. Both are awesome buys in my books!
ReplyDeleteFun to see how you are occupying your time....... you'll be sewing again soon!
ReplyDeleteSo funny! It looks lovely with threads on it though.
ReplyDeletePerfect thread holder!
ReplyDeleteYou silly lady!! Haha! It does work great for your spools of thread, though. =)
ReplyDeleteLove that pink can!
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like me, I can't be bothered with measuring!! I thought the cabinet was going to be massive! I hope you're recovering well, at least there's online shopping!
ReplyDeleteHa ha that's so funny! Love that pink scrap bin, it matches in your sewing room perfectly. I do hope you can get back in there properly soon xxx
ReplyDeleteYour new thread shelf is super cute. Are you going to paint it? But at least it wasn't too big for the door again. ;)
ReplyDeleteLove your new scraps bin!! and I may just copy you! Hope your recovery is going well. I miss seeing all your work on your blog.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been blogging lately and sorry to hear about your arm. In the meantime try to improve your dimension reading! That's hilarious! I Wish you get well very soon.
ReplyDeleteLove the scraps bin and your new thread shelf unit - your secret is safe with me!
