Uncommon uses for embroidery hoops:

From Better Homes and Gardens
https://www.bhg.com/decorating/do-it-yourself/accents/embroidery-hoop-projects/

Truly miss the magazines of years ago.
WOMAN’S DAY
FAMILY CIRCLE
BETTER HOMES AND GARDENS
SOUTHERN LIVING
etc.

They’ve either gone with the wind or morphed into
nothing of interest. The craft ideas and the recipes
offered via print were sought out each month. The glossy,
colored pages filled with images. (Sigh) Yes, the Sears Roebuck Christmas Catalog was just as dog eared every year.
:-)

Have a Bless-ed Easter.

Southern Living still has great recipes. I also miss my granny's favorite magazine, The Workbasket. Nothing but knitting and crocheting patterns. I have a couple of old copies stashed around here.

Grandma used to get 'McCall's' magazine and every issue had a paper doll, 'Betsy McCall' in the back.

She faithfully cut those out for me every month. We had hours of fun playing with Betsy.

It seems there is a vacuum to be filled with a good, domestic, family and home centered women’s magazine.

Perhaps we are in too much of a digital age.
