I bet I have dozens of tapestry needles in my house. Why can’t I find one when I need it? 🤔

A tracking page showing that a package traveled across the North America Continent 3 times.
Just an update about my 2 boxes lost by FedEx. To my surprise, they both arrived at the destination in WA state last week after one month since I shipped them from NY. Looks like they traveled between East Coast and West Coast 3 times?!

A picture of 9 Chinese sesame balls on plates.
We had a small gathering to celebrate lunar new year last night. These sesame balls are from my husband’s grandmother’s recipe. I was told that they are supposed to represent chunks of gold. ☺️

As of this writing, I can still ship Chiaogoo stainless steel needles to the United States as long as your order total is less than $800US.
Rules are changing every day and I don’t know how long this will last. But we are ok for now.
Me too!

Screenshot showing package tracking, with last scan on January 27
FedEx lost 2 out of 6 packages coming back from NY. They told me that I had to contact them by January 27 to open an investigation. But their last scan was on January 27. I wouldn’t bother them if it is still getting scan. 😭

My shipper told me that any products made in China will be subject to tariff upon entering USA.
So, if you order Chiaogoo needles from me, you will have to pay tariff.
I haven’t heard how the tariffs will be collected yet. Will share that information when available.
Good to know even a big guy is scratching their head. We just have to wait, I think. (I’m not good at waiting. 😆)

A screenshot from www.canada.com that reads: Sets consisting of woven fabric and yarn, whether or not with accessories for making up into rugs, tapestries, embroidered tablecloths or serviettes, or similar textile articles, put up in packings for retail sale.
Scrolled through the list of goods that will be subject to 25% tariff coming into Canada as of Feb 4.
I saw 2 items with the word “yarn”. 🧶
One is “yarn for cleaning teeth”
The other one is embroidery kits? See the pic!
I have no idea how this thing works. 😆
