I completed two thread catchers (Santa & Pumpkin); the scissors fob and carrier. The patterns were concise and so were the instructions. Materials needed like the fusible pellon is not available in the Honolulu area(checked Fabric Discount, Walmart, Kaimuki Dry Goods). Would recommend this books to experienced crafters/sewers.

FlipKlip Book Holder 2-Pak for Knitting, Crochet or Needlework Review

This thing is great for reading on the treadmill. I don't know about you, but I find that time flies a lot faster when I'm on the treadmill when I'm reading. But, at the same time, I don't have all that many magazines, whereas I do have a near limitless supply of books. This sucker helps that. I will admit it is somewhat awkward initially, and as you near the end of a book as well. But it does still do the job. Perhaps it would be best to swap books in after you've finished the first 20%, and out when nearing the end. Changing pages is rather simple, once you get the hang of it.

FlipKlip is the perfect companion for reading or referring to directions while you work.It clips onto either the top or bottom of your book, catalog, manual, directions, paperback, hardback, whatever you're reading.Keeps the pages open for hands-free reading.Easy to turn the page; just pull the page downard to slip it out from under the grip finger on the finished side, and then pull the page to slip it under the other side after turning the page.Can be done one-handed with a little practice.Patented spring mechanism detents the finger in the open position for positioning, then 'Flip' the fingers onto the surfaces of the book.Also nice for reading in bed, and for assisting to reduce hand fatigue and cramping from holding the book open.

Does not come with enough thread. Even if you are careful on how you use your thread, there is not enough by a long shot. However I was determined to finish this cross stitch, as I LOVE mermaids. I had to order another kit to complete this one, doubling the price. I researched and found that Dimensions brand is notorious for this problem. I will not be buying Dimensions brand again!

Martingale & Company That Patchwork Place-Even More Quilts For Baby Review

Martingale and Company That Patchwork Place-Even More Quilts For Baby
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought this book one month ago and the first thing I did was read all the intro stuff about supplies, rotary cutting, etc. After looking at all the patterns and pictures, I knew I had the courage to break away from the normal pastel, pale baby quilts that the ladies of my family produce and that's just what I did. I bought a bunch of supplies and fabric for my first two quilts. The first one took 4.5 hours, and that included machine quilting it (noone in my family does that) and binding it (instead of turning it out like most of my family does). I was thrilled. The next (which was bigger) took about 6.5 hours. They were bright and bold and I've never been more excited about anything. If I (and all I know about sewing is how to do the basics for mending and such) can take this book and make two quilts in 11 hours, anyone can do it! The third, which I doubled the pattern for a toddler, took about 20 hours and I love it! This book is the best!! And I bought another one of hers, too.

I just completed this x-stitch for my grandson's 4th B-day and he loved it! I had never worked on black fabric and the black stitching on black was exhausting to the eyes. A good spot lamp and shorter sewing sessions worked well. The kit was great and once framed it made a great addition to my g-son's room.

I received this for Christmas from by son. It worked up so cute. The cat has such personality and looks even better than the picture. The tree does get a little tiresome, there are so many different shades of brown and grey, but worth it. The chart was large and easy to read and the colors were easily separated as the chart showed which bundle and how many strands each color was in. Great project.

I'm not much into painting, therefore the numbers mean nothing to me....I ordered these for my child thinking that as the picture shows, there are 12 different sized brushes, and would make her paint by number picture easier to paint. Instead I received 12 of the same size brushes, thick therefore useful in most paint by number projects.

If you're not a dyed-in-the-wool cross-stitcher, this is for you! Most of the piece is already beautifully painted in soft colors. The areas that you stitch are marked, you do not have to count anything. As a long-time stitcher I felt I could have done with more stitch detail, (i.e.- it was very easy to work!) but I can add colors and do some additional stitching on it but it is not necessary, it is a beautiful piece just as is. This would be awesome on a little girl's bedroom wall! And the adorable girl on it is just darling, a real cutie. I enjoyed stitching this, enjoyed giving it to our 4-year old grand daughter, and love seeing it in her room as a reminder Grandma's always thinking of her. Very very cute. You could frame it in almost any soft color and it will look perfect.

Beam N Read Classic Hands Free Reading Light Review

Beam N Read Classic Hands Free Reading Light
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The first such light, which had only 2 AA batteries, lasted over 10 years. When it died, I hoped I could find an exact replacement. This is made by the same company, but is designed a bit differently, and it's black instead of pink. This time it uses 4 AA batteries, which makes it a bit heavier but should also make the light last even longer.
The conecpt of this is brilliant. Instead of trying to attach the light to the book (how's that gonna work if I want to read The New Yorker or The New York Times in bed??), this one attaches the light to you, facing out at the book or magazine or newspaper or knitting--or if you're in a motel room, it will help you find your way to the bathroom.
It looks a little gorky, but it works like a charm.
