Wednesday Review - Plastic Needles

When I started creating graphgans I didn't realize just how many ends or tails you have to sew in when you are done! (Yes, I wait until the end to sew in all my tails, just in case.) I didn't have much experience with sewing or needles at that time and even know I poke my finger a lot with a regular needle. Also, I find regular needles get hard on the hands. There are pluses and minuses to having plastic needles and regular needles. The minuses with regular needles is that they hurt if you miss and poke yourself with them. The plastic needles have blunt ends so they won't hurt and they are safer. But there is a trade-off. With plastic needles, they are larger sometimes and they don't glide as well as a normal needle does.  

Scrapbook Items

To highlight my sticker addiction I also bought Me and My big ideas Our Wedding Sticker Flip book. It has five pages of stickers and they are all wedding themed, including one pages of glitter letters. And I also bought Me and My big ideas Black and White Wedding Sticker Flip Book.

As I have said before I always buy with pre-paid MasterCards or Visa when buying online so to finish off the card I bought for these things I also added Trends International Alphabet Slim Stickers.

Elastic Cord

After Adult Colouring Books inspired me to find my creative side again, I started looking into other art projects and craft projects I would enjoy doing. And I found like colouring, jewelry making can be an adult thing also. I wasn't sure at first if I would like it and how much money I actually wanted to spend on it so I started off small. I got 10 rolls (mixed colours) of Elastic Cord Strong Stretchy Beading Thread String for $0.29 (CAN).

This was a great deal, I paid more in shipping than what I paid for the thread but it was worth it. Even if you don't use it for jewelry, you can find many uses for it and it was a good price. At this time it sells for $4.91 plus free shipping so that comes out to a few cents more expensive than what I paid but still worth it.
