No Flat Iron? No Problem!

Patricia was traveling, wanted to stitch, but didn't bring her flat iron to smooth her threads.  So she got creative with a hot stove element and a knife.

Genius!

Just don't burn yourself, folks.

Ribbon Handles for Coffee Cups

Rachel Donley has a line of fun coffee cups and recently posted a photo of them on Facebook.

Look at the two standup cups in the background--they have ribbon handles!  Isn't that clever?!  Of course you need the right shape.  My Pink Sugar Life has coffee cups that would work.

Here's a better photo.  Looks like the ribbon has a backing.

One Park Whimsy has a French press that you could finish this way to make a grouping.

You'll need a needle minder when you stitch your coffee, right?
