A picture named wheel.jpg"My Thread WheeL"

This is the one toy that I can't live without! It organizes all my threads & needles. makes it very easy to change colors while I'm stitching. My husband built the stand that it sits on, just the right height for me! The whole thing is home-made. I love making little pin cushions for it, I  color coordinate them to the project I'm working on.

A picture named storagebox.jpgStorage Box, I love using these storage boxes for each of  my works in progress.  It holds all the supplies I need for that project.  I buy them in Home Depot.  Everyone has a Home Depot in their town. I think!

A picture named premiescissor&magnet.jpgThese are my premie scissors on a very pretty sterling sliver magnet. This magnet is pretty powerful just enough power to make it very useful when stitching.

Beading Sponge and Floss Sponge

I just love this beading sponge! It holds all my beads and is very easy to use when I'm beading.
All it is a round rubber powder puff with a plastic ring glued to it. You can find these rings in any hardware store or Home Depot if you want to make one yourself.
I also have the Floss Sponge.....Haven't used it yet but I hear it's great to keep Marrlett (rayon) threads under control if they are damp/dry.
I haven't done any stitching in a few days. Im working on:The Eight Immortals by PINN. 25 count Lugana "one over one" and I love how it's turning out.

Scissor Nanny

My most recent purchase is my Scissor Nanny and I just love it! I have a small pair of premie scissors that sticks to this necklace like glue. All the beads are in a pretty pale blue. I understand it comes in other colors. Everyone I have showed it to so far loves it and wants one!  Cant wait to go to my next stitch-in to show it off. Maybe I will just wear it grocery shopping tomorrow. I put this silly thing around my chihuahua's neck and it looks great on him too! Below is the info if your interested? Just a happy customer.
