“Be Yourself Together” Couple Photo Contest!

Brit Morin of Brit + Co. is hosting an exciting “Be Yourself Together” Couple Photo Contest for Target! The theme “Be Yourself Together” highlights the zany, unpredictable ways that a couple’s real personalities shine through, and the ways they can be their most authentic selves together. 5 winners will receive gift cards to Target, including one for $500! Photo submissions are due by October 15, 2013, so hurry on over to Brit + Co. to enter the contest and get all the details.

In the meantime, I’m be sharing some fun Instagram photos of one of my favorite couples. Meet Chris & Elizabeth Moffat. He’s a quiet Scotsman, and she’s an outgoing girl-next-door! She brings out his mischevious side, and he grounds her. Together, they’re the perfect mix!

Here’s the happy couple in their engagement photo.

Here they are getting cozy in the fall…

and my favorite photo: Chris & Elizabeth rocking some ugly sweaters in the winter!

Thanks so much to this sweet couple for letting me share their pictures! Check out #Target BYT on Instagram to see my photos and many more! Best wishes to all the entrants in the contest at Brit + Co! I can’t wait to see your photos!

I have a complicated relationship with my embroidery needles. Which is a fancy way of saying I don’t really take care of my needles at all. Even though I know I have embroidery needles to use for cross stitch and sewing, needles that are certainly still in their packages, I can rarely find them when I need them.

So when I saw this post from Crewel Ghoul about how to store your embroidery needles, it hit close to home for me.

It doesn’t really say anything I didn’t already know, but it is good advice that might also serve as a reminder for you to take better care of your needles when you cross stitch or do other hand-sewing projects so that you’ll be able to find your needles again when you need them.

It would help me a lot if I had a dedicated place to keep needles I’m not using, including the needles that are still in their packages from when I bought them. You’d think I would keep them with my embroidery floss but apparently you would be mistaken about that.

Another good idea for me is to have a place to put needles I’ve been using when I am done with them. Because goodness knows I’m not going to put them back in the package. (Which may actually be a good thing because then I know which one I’ve been using and which ones are fresh. Not that I replace my needles regularly, but still.) I own pincushions but I don’t really use them for anything, which is silly.

Check out the post at Crewel Ghoul to see all the options available for storing your embroidery needles properly. I’d love to hear what you do, especially if you have a better system than I do (which, honestly, would be any system at all).
