I went to Michael's after work today. Not much of what I needed was on sale unfortunately. I got the thread and bookmarks for my commissioned activities. I will begin stitching tomorrow. I'm looking forward to working it out.
The stitching I am doing requires size 26 tapestry needles. They must be the most popular tapestry needles because they are sold out at Michael's AND Joann's. I have many needles, but not many 26's. The eye of the needle can sometimes break and results in a useless needle. There are gold plated needles supposedly, but I haven't seen them in the basic craft stores. I'd purchase them if it meant the eye wouldn't break. That is a pain. I'm not being too harsh on the needles either. I try not to stitch while I am tense, emotional or ill, the end result is not pretty (results in broken needle and tense/tight stitches).
