   Tip Of The Week  

The oldest piece of needlework ever discovered was in the tomb of 

the Egyptian Pharaoh, Tutankhamen. The piece was made of linen. 

I guess we can count on linen being a very durable thread to use!

 

Finishing Idea of the Week!

 

Give the key to your heart! This adorable Valentine Heart Box is a 

great way to show your love to someone special!
