St. Anne's Church, Annapolis, Md.



Beautiful stained glass windows.



On a recent trip to Annapolis, Md. we took a walking tour of this beautiful, historic city.  During our tour, we visited St. Anne's Episcopal Church.  Here's just a small sample of the amazing artwork in this church. 



These kneelers were all needlepointed by parishoners.   Each one is a beautiful, original work of art.



Gardening Tip of the Day - Keeping Your Tools Clean

Here's a tip I heard many years ago from Martha Stewart:

Keep a pail or container in the garage or tool shed. Fill with sand and some motor oil.  After your gardening chores are done, run your hand tools, shovels ect. through the sand.  Use a clipping motion with your clippers, keeping them clean and sharp.   Keep a rag close by for clean-up afterward.

Threading Yarn onto a Needle




Here's a quick way to thread yarn onto a needle.

 



All you need is a roll of masking tape.

  


Take a small piece of tape and wrap it around the end of the yarn.

 



Cut the piece of tape on the diagonal.

  


Thread the pointed end though the needle.

   


And you're done!
