I bought one of those pretty blocks of beeswax years ago, I used it to keep threads from fraying while threading ornaments, I have it tucked away in my work room cupboard & just pulled it out !NMKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11991594663697615793noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-21802937555661508422010-03-24T07:38:45.167-04:002010-03-24T07:38:45.167-04:00Hi Rebecca ~

I am sure many don't though. <br />Have you ever made candles from the wax? Would love to hear more on your blog about your life with bee's. Do you use one thread or two when you usually stitch? If two threads, would you wax each one seperate before threading the needle or wax the two together?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-817148833309325011.post-34134688293600965992010-03-23T18:59:34.991-04:002010-03-23T18:59:34.991-04:00Thanks for the info about the wax and thread.
