I've spotted some needle threaders in our (inherited) sewing stool, must learn how to use them!Loo xx from Jumbles and Pompomshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13570354905749566677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768165858288287195.post-44025178363230077262011-01-11T12:22:16.057+01:002011-01-11T12:22:16.057+01:00Happy new year - and don't let yourself feel o...Happy new year - and don't let yourself feel old at 50 or it'll make me feel ancient at 56 - and I feel great!! Forget the age and just live to the full - ignore the wrinkles (well, I can't be a hypocrite as I hate the wrinkles, but I slather on as much moisturiser as I can afford!!). I also use a metal needle threader, without which I would never be able to thread a needle. A great, simple invention! Celebrate your 50's! Hubby just turned 60 (thank you for your comment on mine!) and he says he feels it is a fantastic achievement to reach 60 and still feel 30 (with reading specs!).I guess our 11 year old keeps us on our toes!!dineyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17149135846677528140noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768165858288287195.post-16289334161396887432011-01-10T18:30:25.148+01:002011-01-10T18:30:25.148+01:00welcome to the crumbling time of life!!!welcome to the crumbling time of life!!!John Going Gentlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14958171262765033946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768165858288287195.post-71092687903739358452011-01-10T15:34:15.283+01:002011-01-10T15:34:15.283+01:00Thank you both for your ideas.

Dip the tip of your thread in candle wax, then pinch and flatten it with your fingers. It will be much easier to pass through the eye of the needle.If you need to, you can clip the waxed end off before proceeding.Sue from Ky.https://www.blogger.com/profile/06555815218871299696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8768165858288287195.post-67882775695918465472011-01-10T14:22:20.383+01:002011-01-10T14:22:20.383+01:00I have had to invest in needle threaders - can you...I have had to invest in needle threaders - can you get them in France?
