FreezePaint iPhone App Review

by

FreezePaint iPhone App (99cents itunes store)

When I was given the opportunity to review this App I was mainly thinking of the kids but so far they haven’t even had a chance to play with it.  This app has 3 uses that I can see.

1: Use it for Scrapbooking a collection of images from an event (see japanese dinner pic) to  use in digital scrapbooking or to share on Facebook or e-mail.

2: Use it to entertain the kids with fun interactive photo taking.

3: Use it to  entertain a bunch of adults who can play around putting heads on wrong bodies adding big google eyes to each other or as I did, add my mothers dogs nose to her head and finished off with giving her some enlarged wrinkle free eyes.

We had lots of fun with this app and it was very easy to use. It took us about 5 mins to understand what to do (We were too lazy to read the instructions or watch the video)

How to Store Embroidery Needles

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).
