This At-A-Glance calendar I like! I can make notes of upcoming events, and organize tasks on it, as well as make quick calculations. Somebody I know even used it simply as a notepad.
On this date, I am still transitioning into the New Year. Somehow this year, I am finding it easy to write 2016 in the date, instead of 2015.
Here is another kind of calendar from Calendarpedia, which can be nicely used as a checklist. Happy New Year everybody!
I have this box of cards, which contains thirty-two various small cards, but but there are only nine envelopes.
The cards from various times include blank, birthday, get well, and thank you cards. So I am ordering one hundred small invitation envelopes (4-3/8″ by 5-3/4″) for eight dollars. I will have plenty of these for this and other purposes. Last year I actually hand made some envelopes from a pattern I found online. It is definitely worth it to order them!
Here are several of my pincushions.
The black, green and red folk design cushion was a gift. It works well for regular pins and needles but not for thick yarn needles. I crocheted the pastel pink, green and yellow one with size three acrylic yarn, and stuffed it with craft fiber fill. It works well for thick yarn needles, but It is ugly. I also crocheted the red cushion to try making a pin cushion out of a steel wool soap pad. Somebody wrote that soap pads made great pincushions, because they sharpen and polish the needles. After I made this cover, and tried it, I found it very difficult to use, even for regular pins and needles. which would not go into it easily. My favorite is the multicolored cotton crocheted one with the fiber fill. It works well for yarn needles, any pins and needles, and looks good.
