Hello?
Well, I can't view this blog anymore?!? I can post, but I get an error message when I try to view the blog. Don't know if anyone else can see it either. So I may just be talking to myself.
Anyways, stitched a bit on Winter (Butcher ACEO) and Speckled Fairy (Vinson) last night. Not enough progress on either of them to bother with a pic.
I did figure out a way to be able to stitch on all of my projects with needles pre-threaded with all the colors. I saw someone's avatar pic on the HAED message board once where she had set up a bunch of those Pako needle holders in somekind of stand. That way she had all of the colors on pre-threaded needles. I know I spend a lot of time threading and unthreading needles, especially when I'm doing confetti stitching. I really want to be able to just grab a pre-threaded needle when moving from color to color. The problem is: I stitch on so many WIP's, I would have to have all the colors (and that would take up a lot of room, not to mention at 20$ a pop, a lot of money for the Pako needle holders) Soooo.... I figured out a new way: I am putting the threaded needle on the bobbin, behind the wound floss, then winding the thread that's on the needle around the bobbin too. Eventually all the colors in my Jammer box will have a threaded needle. I cleared out Joann's last night of all the 28 sized needles that they had, which only came out to 50. I'll have to raid the other craft stores or possibly order online to get enough needles.
I'll post a pic tomorrow of what this looks like. I think it's going to work out well.
