Covid Blues

If you are feeling a little LESS socially connected by these restrictions, 
why not get in touch with a few "stitching" friends & meet in a park.

At this stage you are allowed FIVE.

Just remember to be fully vaccinated, 

wear a mask while NOT eating or drinking...

keep your personal distance & 

stay in your own LGA. 

I know of two groups doing this & they think it's absolutely wonderful.

Until we can ALL get together again... a picnic is the perfect replacement.

Give it a try... I'm sure you'll EnJoY it...

A Simple fix...

I call them Bobbin Bands...

A little tip for keeping bobbin threads from unravelling.

I know there are lots of "doodads" on the market BuT this tip is almost FREE.

Use those TiNy kids stretchy hair bands available from discount stores for $2.50.

You can even colour coordinate threads & bands too.

I just thought you may be interested to try this...
