Your cards are always so beautiful, Twins. I don't make cards, but last year after the holidays I took the cards I would have thrown out and made gift tags for this year's packages. There are lots of little figures, scenes, etc., on the cards, some on the very back too, and I cut them with my paper cutter and have unique tags to use.
Booksaver, that's so nice that you use your sewing skills to help others like that. Looking forward to your pictures.
Nancy, twice the prayers, haha, I like that!
Day after Thanksgiving I helped DD1 with DGSs' boy scout patches. She had tried to use patch glue, and it didn't hold. I tried to machine stitch them on. Couldn't understand what was happening, but finally saw that the glue was sticking to the thread and the needle, making a mess. So I ended up sewing them by hand, except that the glue was gumming up the needle and thread and every other stitch I had to wipe the needle with alcohol. Lesson learned: don't ever use patch glue!
Then I put my royal blue spool of thread on the end table and never did get it put away...running the sweeper the next day, the spool fell on the floor and the vacuum likity split caught the end of the thread and zipp just like magic wound a whole spool of thread all around the beater bar. I could not get it shut off quick enough.
Last week it took me half an hour to cut all that thread off the beater bar. Another lesson learned: put thread away after I use it!
