Do you like threads?  Always need a stash for when the inspiration strikes?  Or are you interested in what is new in silk and metal threads?  Maybe my Frostings Box series is the thing for you.  I still have a few dozen of the 2024 Frostings Box left.  

What is a Frostings Box?  It is a nice box with a set of around 30 (it varies yearly) new threads that haven't hit the market yet.  It might be something that a manufacturer showed me that will be new to the market or something we have talked about making and finally my batch is here.  I have a wish list of threads that I have been adding to for a decade - it could be a color that doesn't exist currently in the Au Ver a Soie line, a type of silk purl you haven't seen before, or something totally fun and interesting for stumpwork or finishing ornaments.  To get anything made, you need to buy the entire batch from the manufacturer.  So the Frostings Box has been a great way to have the community support the making of new threads.  You get first access to the threads which often run out quickly and I can sell enough to make about 20-30 new threads a year.  If you love stumpwork or textural embroidery - the Frostings Box is for you!
