Today for my Around the Net – which I must say I’ve been lagging behind on my posts as I haven’t found anything that has WOW’d me for a while now, part of it is I haven’t been looking and part of it that special thing hasn’t crossed paths with me to share it with you 🙂
Today I found this great blog and site called Swapdex which is just that, a collection of swaps that are being held around the net 🙂 So go on over to Jenna’s site and see what you can find 🙂
Jenny over at Sublime Stitching posted a question on her Facebook Fan Page asking her stitching followers what are the tools that you can’t live without? I’m becoming more of a stitcher everyday, incorporating embroidery into my Block of the Month Clubs I’m loving the stitching part. I love the patchwork and the combination of stitching in the same block, I do some work at my beautiful sewing machine and I also can do some of the work in front of the TV, it’s perfect!
Anyway, back to Jenny, here’s the list she compiled and all of the links for you to find these goodies:
This iron-on transfer pen seemed to be #1, sounds very interesting
Clip-on reading light “for PM stitching” know ladies who have this and love it
Lightbox – which I was recently given one and boy do I LOVE my lightbox, thanks Carla
Thread Heaven, haven’t used this but heard good things about it
Seam Ripper, here’s a link to the one I carry.
Sticky Stabilizer, sounds like that sticky wax paper stuff?
(different from iron-on)
Magnifying Light, haven’t needed this
Punch Needles – this is something I’m very much considering getting into – any of you do punch needle?
Needle Nest, personally I love my tuffets.
Water Erasable Pen, have one of these
Tracing Paper, haven’t had a need for this
Laying Tool, I want one of these but not sure why?
Floss Organizer, have one of these and LOVE it!!
Thanks so much Jenny for posting this list now I have a shopping list of my own 🙂
Hi Everyone, I tweet on Twitter and I’m loving it. You know the other night I was tweeting about the crazy spring storm that blew in and a friend was tweeting about a storm in her part of the country, someone else was tweeting about a storm where they were…it’s amazing how Twitter, Facebook, Blogs and this online world connect us together on such a personal level. I’ve decided to dedicate one day a week to my online friends…weather that’s my new Fans on Facebook, Interesting Blogs I’ve come across that I need to share with all of you my wonderful readers and friends or whatever else my little heart desires to share. I know that IS what blogging is all about and I’m loving it.
