My Mother had terrible eyesight even at sixty so one year for Christmas I bought a package of sewing needles and threaded them myself, lots of black and white and neutral colors, some navy and gray, even some red, made them about 15-18 inches long, knotted the ends, then pushed the needles thru a piece of stiff paper. It was a great gift for her as she hated doing any mending because she couldn't see well enough to thread a needle. I don't know how long it took for her to use them all, but they were well appreciated.

It's here, it's here, it's here!!! Omigosh, you are never going to believe how perfect this is for me. I am so delighted. I knew what one item was the minute I opened the box and before I even saw it. Ahhh! Well, I just got home from a Chamber of Commerce rubber chicken dinner and I am pooped. I know I couldn't do the package justice, so I will wait until I get home tomorrow night to give the details. Here's the bad news. My camera is on the island of Anguilla. My son went to a wedding there and took the camera. Boo hoo, because this box deserves to be memorialized in pictures. So, hold your breath everyone, until tomorrow after 6 p.m. EST and you will get the details. THANK YOU, swappie!! Pam PS the keynote speaker was Mara Liassen of NPR and she was excellent.

That's great Budster, We have a ladies group here who have meetings once a month to plan all sorts of things for the needy in the surrounding area. Last month was my first time going. It had been decided the month before that everyone would draw a name and buy Christmas presents for one of the residents at the local nursing home. Since they are starting a Red Hat Society at the nursing home, the name I drew wanted a boa, a sweater and a RED HAT. Strange part is ....... I drew my EX-mother-in-laws name. What are the odds of that happening? Anyway, I bought the boa, the sweater and a plain red hat that I'm trying to decorate, hope she likes it even tho it's from me. LOL! Just thought I would share my attempt at helping out. Mare

Which planter will the 2 baby Silver Threads & Golden Needles prefer?

Zkathy, no, my soil is very much clay. I amended it a LOT by tilling in lots and lots of humus. I was told by Chris at Hallson to sink the new baby hostas in their pots into the ground and told the same thing by the folks at NH Hosta, where I purchased them. A bit later this week, I will get around to putting an inch of shredded bark mulch over the soil (but not the baby hostas) in the area where I sank their plastic pots. So the baby hostas will spend their first winter sunk into the ground. Then, come spring, I will transplant them to nice clay planters. The Dinky Donna will go into a 9" glazed celadon green pot while the 2 Silver Thread & Golden Needles babies will go into a 17 x 6 x 6" terracotta window box set on the ground in my roses' raised bed.

I have a set of them and they are usually okay but not for all materials. Some of the materials are snagged by the 'eye'. I usually don't need to use them but if I have my contact lenses in I definitely need help.

Yes I remember them from years ago too...

I'm not sure I liked them...

Here's a tip to thread the regular needles...hold them over a piece of white paper...it's easier to see the hole. Or with your sewing machine slide a small piece of white paper ( maybe a couple inches high and a couple inches wide) behind the needle when threading it.

I have one of these......http://www.amazon.com/Wire-Loop-Needle-Threader-Pkg/dp/B000YL27M4/ref=sr_1_5?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1318505322&sr=1-5

also one of these.....http://www.amazon.com/MAGNIFYING-AIDS-Hexe-Needle-Threader/dp/B001D1DDN6/ref=sr_1_4?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1318505322&sr=1-4

I have a terrible time threading needles, always have. They both work, but really, the first one is easy as pie.
