Oh, so cute! I am definitely making something like this to go in my new crafting area.

Nice! I know what my mom is getting for Mother's Day :-)

OMG I really needed a thread holder, and my kids didn't take the not so subtle hints the last couple of Xmases!! Love your idea, but how did your toothpicks hold up?

Great idea, I tried this and it makes all my thread much more manageable.

How brilliant. I just thought of a fun modification of this:

A piece of scrap wood or similar wrapped in pretty fabric, using finishing nails as the pegs. How nice would that look in your sewing area?
