Spring Bridal Shower Inspiration

Brenda’s Wedding Blog hosted an April Wedding Vendor Challenge that resulted in 7 incredible photo shoots filled with gorgeous details for spring bridal showers! The color palette was bubblegum pink, mint green and robin’s egg blue. Brenda requested vendors to create a bridal shower tablescape with a dessert display and to provide at least one DIY project. I didn’t want you to miss any of the stunning results, so I’ve rounded up all the photo shoots and posted the links below. So many amazing vendors participated, so be sure to click on the links to them provided in each post on Brenda’s Wedding Blog. I was simply blown way by the beauty of these photo shoots and I think you will be too! I also included a link to Brenda’s online publication Best Wedding Sites Magazine . Enjoy!

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).
