Peg’s tip

IMG_1573

Do you use these???

Wet Ones…

I do….

I use mine for stitching mess ups!!!!….do you ever get a little mark on your stitching, and wonder where that has come from!!!

Well, here’s my tip…. if you pull out two of these, put one at the back of your spot/strain/mark and gently dab at the front, do not rub, just dab very gently, it may take a minute or two but I have found that most spots just disappear!!!

So I always have a packet of these lying around….they do work on the hands as well…LOL.. 

Happy Thursday, take care,

Peg

I was a little French Swapper….in the wonderful “Little Bit of French” swap by Cheryl….,,Cathy had sent this wonderful parcel to me over 2 months ago from Canada…and it arrived at my place yesterday…

Poor Cathy must have been beside herself…..but it has arrived, and  all my gifts are just so amazing, lots of beautiful stitching by Cath, and so many treats from Canada, lavender, coin (I think it has good luck), scarf, lolly pops, all so very generous…Cathy I love my gifts thank you so very much, you really have spoilt me…

Happy Wednesday, take care, keep safe

Sharing ideas…

Last weekend at Carols retreat, we all had a giggle when Gai came out with her miners light attached to her head!!!

But we all had a go, thought what a great idea for stitching….so on Friday the DH went to the local hardware shop and now I have my very own miners light…LOL..

Not what one would call a fashion accessory!!!!!….I am sure if anyone came to our door and I forgot to remove it, they would think I had totally lost the plot…!!!!

So this lovely piece is attached to the head…there are three positions for the light, so it can be directed on what you are working on…the light is bright just perfect for stitching,…..I just had to share with you this fantastic idea of Gai’s….

Happy Monday Stitching, take care, keep safe

Peg

Ideas can be life-changing.  Sometimes all you need to open the door is just one more good idea.
