Have you even been working on a project and you really needed something to finish it, but it’s something so small that you really don’t feel like running to the store? That was me the other day. I was crocheting a few hairbows and totally didn’t have any type of needle to use to thread the ends in.
So what did I do? I found an ornament hanger, bent it to resemble a needle, and put a small piece of tape on the end so the it would go through the crocheted yarn smoothly.
Success!!!! And I didn’t have to go anywhere 🙂

So something I would do myself. I spend 3-7 hrs in car a day carpooling and extracurricular activities.
If I forget something and am “done” for the day…you can’t drag me out of the house!!!
It makes you rethink many a project!

October 15, 2011 at 12:00 amThanks for the reminder that it’s possible to do things regardless of whether you have the “normal” tools or not. I have a few projects that need the ends weaving in on, and I lost my darning needle last week!!! Your post was so timely! LOL Think I might go finish them off now. 🙂
