A Cute Bristle Beard Santa!Ok... this has NOTHING TO DO with Cross Stitch... but we had to have him anyway!!! He's a little Santa that you make on a paintbrush!!!!! Think of the possibilities... if you've been wanting hubby to paint a room -- give him BB Santa for Christmas -- attached to the paint can (as a gentle hint!!) Or when he complains about all the useless decorations sitting about -- present Bristle Beard! He's VERY functional for the motivated!!! Actually, what a FUN gift this would be as a housewarming to someone buying a house around the Holidays! Or... your favorite painter! Just precious and silly, his complete kit comes with the 4-inch brush, fabric for hat, beard 'trim', glasses, button eyes, wooden nose, metal glasses, and complete instructions. All you'll need is a little blush from your make-up bag and a hot glue gun! He finishes approx 4 x 10... nothing to stitch or sew... this totally showcases your gluing skills! Quite over-the-top! | |

Just Pins from Just Another Button Company Here's something perfect for a graduating genius!!! Offered as a little freebie chart from Just Another Button Company, with the purchase of a neat batch of clay buttons to dress it up, it's stitched on any 28ct blue linen (simulates the sky), and finishes approx 4 x 4.

Perfect for High School or College... it's cute without being juvenile... and there's plenty of room at the bottom for personalization if you'd like!!! | |
 Clay Pins by Butterfly Couture Directly from France, we have these darling, delicate pins... handmade of polymer clay. I classify these as 'hard to get' because the artist doesn't make all her styles all through the year! I can get Spring during the Springtime! Christmas later in the year -- not now! So... we don't have specific designs that call for these... but you'll see them gracing a few of our European designs. Really cute, really fun and unique... get 'em while you CAN! We do have a few other floral sets in the shop baskets - just not enough to feature on the website -- some are 3-Dimensional flowers -- you might want to call for availability -- or just trust us to choose some for you! (I notice that our Pansy sets feature assorted pansy colors. All feature 2 pansy and 2 clover pins.) | |
 Victorian Mourning PinsAKA Little black stick pins! I'd never seen these before, till they appeared in Netty Nightshade's Pumpkin Furniture!!! (Any good stitcher or seamstress has pins and needles stuck in her furniture!) Presented in a clear dish with a screw-top lid, 150 black straight pins measuring 1 inch x .85mm are nestled inside. Perfect for Halloween pin cushions and sewing cases, or something very 'antiquy'... they have a flat, matte black finish that matches our black scissors. | |
 'Epingles from SajouI hope that name tells you that these are very special pins from France!!! We have received the coolest tiny tins of Italian glass-headed pins from Sajou -- a French Needle work Designer and Supplier. What makes them special is the tiny tin they are packaged in... along with the fact that glass-headed pins do not melt when you iron over them. In the world of the United States Chain Stores... plastic headed pins are the norm. My Mona, of Magic by Mona, is lusting after these, because she has melted too many pins under a hot iron!  Charming little 1-1/2 inch diameter tins standing 1-1/4 inches high... each is made from leather-like cardboard sides in either red, pink or light blue.The classy Sajou label written in French, tops your tiny tin. Inside, you'll find 80 Italian Murano glass-topped straight pins. Multi colors.. pins are 1-inch in length. When your little tin arrives... it will be a CHALLENGE to open. Designed to fit tightly at first -- we want your pins to be in there when you get your little tin! After you twist and fidget a bit, the tin will open much easier. These are so classy... so unique... so substantial and heirloom-y! Quite the special thing to include in a needlework display! | |
Tacky BOB from Flying Needles Have you gotten your *TACKY BOB* yet? The newest, super-handy beading gadget is here!!! Tacky B.O.B. (which stands for Box for Beads) is a miniature CD box that has been lined on the outside bottom with a layer of colored foam, to help keep your BOB in one place, and the inside top, with various coordinating colored papers. Inside, the box features a magnetic strip for needles, and two large areas of acid-free 'tacky!' Simply spill your beads into either side of the box... the different colored sides help you see the different bead colors. Since they're 'stuck' on there... you just pick up each bead with your needle as you need it. TOTALLY SPILLPROOF, these are perfect for car or air travel... stitching outside where your beads could blow away, or just around lots of commotion, where your bead dish could be easily and accidentally dumped! What a handy little invention!!! (Every stitcher you know needs at least one or two of these! They come in all sorts of colors, so let us know if you have a favorite in mind. We'll try to do our best!) |

Available in a gold or silver color, these feature a clam-shell clip on one end to attach to your chatelaine or stitching case, along with a plastic tube to pinch and tug at a problem needle at the other end. Simply pull the two ends apart, insert the needle in the tube, grab, and pull! When you're done, it clings back together because of the tiny, powerful magnet! Fun and useful, what a fun stitcher gift! |

Telescoping Magnet Here's a handy little gadget we've sold for years! It's a very powerful magnet mounted onto the end of a telescoping wand. Closed, it's only 5 1/2" long -- the size of an ink pen. When fully extended, it's a fabulous 25 inches long... and perfect for picking up your needles and even scissors when they fall on the floor!!! The extra 2 feet of reach lets you stay in your chair, and lets the surprisingly powerful magnet do the work! Very handy! |

Mini Drill This is the coolest gadget! We've used them for years to make the twisted cord embellishments we put on just about everything in the shop! It helps you twist your threads evenly and quickly, and acts as a weight to keep kinks out of your cording. We've done a quick sheet of twisted cord instructions that we've included with the drills... but if you need a phone conversation to help you make sense of them... that's OK! The cord is great fun -- everyone loves making it to dress up their pillows and things! |
 |
| Thread Straighteners from Flying Needles OK... how can something so simple be so useful, and just great??? These acrylic rods are fitted with a band of soft, squishy foam, (like pencil holders). To remove the kinks, curls or folds from synthetic threads, twisted silks and monofilament threads, just wrap the thread's cut ends around each pad. Holding them with your fingers, gently, gently pull the rods apart... you'll feel the thread 'give' and relax. When you let go... your thread will be straight and smooth!!! None of those obnoxious kinks and curls that you get when you've taken thread off of a card or spool! Stitches lay smoother and flatter... and you're a calmer stitcher!!! I couldn't believe how well these work! Something else cool for your stitching bag!!!

Metal Finishing Forms  Something SO WONDERFUL for ornament finishing, you'll need a boatload of these!!! We have 11 different sizes of metal disk forms available that make ornament finishing a breeze. Sold in pairs, you wrap your needlework around one of the forms, backing fabric around the other, glue the two sides together, and cover the seam with twisted corded trim! Zip-Zap, you're ready for the Holidays!!! We've shown two Mill Hill bead kits models in our pics, but so, so many different things will do well on these! Measurements given are the actual diameter of the forms. Each is gently curved up in the center, and a bit of padding as the fabric liners look extra-nice when finishing these. Remember, prices quoted are for a pair of forms. The Assortment package contains one pair each of size, except the 6-inch pair, and saves you a whopping $3.03!!! | |
Glass Paper Weights Solid glass paperweights, these have been around for years... and we still sell them! Four different shapes, each comes with a cork backing to protect the table. We've seen just everything from 40ct silk gauze samplers in these to quick initials stitched on 10ct... just anything will do well. The rectangular one is approx 3 x 4-1/2, and the others, generally 3 x 3-ish. Each is an inch thick, and I think weigh at least a pound! Great gifts for men, students, secretaries, just anybody! |

| Nap Brush This little brush is a stitching necessity! It's a wonderful little wire brush, with a leather looped handle. Slip your finger through the loop, and pick at the specialty
threads in your needlework, that you want to "Fuzz Up!" Perfect to make fur -- "furrier," frizz -- "frizzier," clouds -- "wispier!" Use it on any wooly threads, and

Uncle Bill's Tweezers These have been customer favorites for years! 1 1/2" Silver Grippers, these are wonderful little tweezers. They are perfect for grabbing errant threads on your work, and picking out the cut threads in your Hardanger Embroidery work. The tips are super sharp, and the sides are strong heavy gauge stainless.

 White Emery99% Pure Aluminum Oxide... this is a super-fine grain emery abrasive powder that is used to stuff pin cushions and scissor fobs. A beautiful, clean white color... it's a cleaner, brighter filler than the traditional grey-black emery previously in our market. Offered in a 4-oz package... 4 Tablespoons-ish to me... along with the emery material... you are treated to a WONDERFUL history and explanation of emery! (Rubies and Sapphires are made from the same substance... since the middle of the 1500's, there has been a need for this abrasive substance to clean steel needles. An entire page of really interesting info about this historic product is included, and I really, really enjoyed reading it! Anyway, this powder is super-heavy to your hand, and is generally used as a needle-cleaning agent. It feels really good in your hand... as it weights your tiny fobs and cushions perfectly! Get some for your stash, to use for neat cushions, fobs and special sewing cases! | |
