I Heart You, Schmoopie
Happy lovey-dovey kissy-face day to all of you and your Schmoopies, too.
Easy to make. Buy conversation hearts, Hersheys Kisses, and Hersheys Valentine Hugs. (You can make a lot of these cards with those. Or, if you are like me, you can make one card and then eat the rest of the candy yourself.)
Larissa…What is your favorite embroidery needle? I only have one that works for me, but I live in fear that it will break or get lost. What brand do you recommend?
I’m hooked on the Twelve Days! Thanks.
Oh dear. If I’m being honest, my favorites are ones I have inherited or found at thrift stores, unfortunately. I guess the lesson I’ve learned is they don’t make them like they used to? I have all the major brands in my drawer but I reach for my no-name thrifted ones a lot. I’m sure they have a brand but I have no idea what it is. The reason I love them is they are super sharp and the eye is about the same width as the shaft so it does not ‘pop’ through. Some of my major branded needles have bulgy eyes and they resist and pop through. That is very fatiguing. Here’s a fantastic article from someone who knows a lot more about it than me:
