Repurposing - The Stitcher's Way

I got this beautiful earring stand made by Kilyén József, as a prize won at a handmade contest last year. I hardly ever wear earrings, so the stand quickly found its way into my studio and is now happily holding my needles threaded with silk ribbons. It has become a very useful and much appreciated "tool" and, besides being a lovely decoration of my working table I can also use it to measure the chaos level on the table LOL Can you see how? 

Not bad for a former earring stand, is it? :)

Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend,
