What Linda is Working On & Two More Tips

Wow! Connie you are really going to town on that. It's going to be so pretty!

I couldn't even remember what Mark's stocking looked like. It's Blue! Yay!  I liked Connie's blue a lot and now I get to work with it too.

When I first bought the stocking I left it on the end table and Neptune made it quite evident that she's mad I didn't buy her a stocking!
The bottom part was gone - she ate it!  Well, I wasn't too upset; she left all the instructions, the felt and most important, those SEQUINS! LOL

Last night I decided to get out my stocking and sort the color in the natural light.  Oh my! I have white, ecru, cream and tan - they all look alike!


Well, what I didn't realize is that Neptune also ate my cardboard for sorting my thread!
This is just not going to work!  LOL  I really laughed I thought this was so funny. I bet Miss Neptune is laughing too.


Tip #1 -  Connie told me she keeps her needles separate on a little dish.
There are two needles in the kits -  I label mine and stick them in the instructions:
On the other side I drew a heart and labeled it "beading".

Tip #3 - Sew with the Beading Needle
One thing I learned from doing my other stocking is it's easier to use the beading needle to applique on the felt pieces (not the embroidery) as it's sharper.
