That being done, I got out my handy dandy needle threader and proceeded to use it to re-thread my needle. I spent almost ten minutes (!) trying to do this! FINALLY I realized I was trying to put the needle threader in the WRONG end of the needle! NOT the one with the hole in it!

I am determined to finish this rug today!
My Christmas cactus needs a bit of a trim and maybe more flowers? At least I can SEE to do that!
