Charts, patterns and everything needlepoint
Hillary has not forgotten us crafters in her latest campaign. These Cross stitch style Cushions are available for $55.00 each. I think I would have preferred to see this as a cross stitch kit made available for crafters to make rather than buy, but still a cute idea.
I see a trend starting for a whole new range of political charts and slogans amongst female crafters. Do you have a Pro Hillary tutorial or project to share?
I have a complicated relationship with my embroidery needles. Which is a fancy way of saying I don’t really take care of my needles at all. Even though I know I have embroidery needles to use for cross stitch and sewing, needles that are certainly still in their packages, I can rarely find them when I need them.
So when I saw this post from Crewel Ghoul about how to store your embroidery needles, it hit close to home for me.
It doesn’t really say anything I didn’t already know, but it is good advice that might also serve as a reminder for you to take better care of your needles when you cross stitch or do other hand-sewing projects so that you’ll be able to find your needles again when you need them.
It would help me a lot if I had a dedicated place to keep needles I’m not using, including the needles that are still in their packages from when I bought them. You’d think I would keep them with my embroidery floss but apparently you would be mistaken about that.
Another good idea for me is to have a place to put needles I’ve been using when I am done with them. Because goodness knows I’m not going to put them back in the package. (Which may actually be a good thing because then I know which one I’ve been using and which ones are fresh. Not that I replace my needles regularly, but still.) I own pincushions but I don’t really use them for anything, which is silly.
Check out the post at Crewel Ghoul to see all the options available for storing your embroidery needles properly. I’d love to hear what you do, especially if you have a better system than I do (which, honestly, would be any system at all).

Please Hillary should of been as attentive to the 4 people she let be killed in Benghazi! I want a woman in the white house but not this rude and out of touch woman! Stick to crafts and not be political. Not what I come here for!
Just because she’s a woman doesn’t mean her place is in the white house…How stupid! I truly hope people don’t vote for her just because of that!
