Knitter's Choice



I learned how to knit a few years back and I have been looking for a nice set of knitting needles with several sizes and a case to store them in.

I thought I would have to buy them all separately and piece the set together but this set has pretty much everything I was asking for.

The case is awesome and the fact that the needles are bamboo makes it that much better. I have fibromyalgia on top of other health concerns and this make it much easier to knit longer with out causing pain.

The case is awesome with having a magnetic closure along with a flap that covers the top of the needles keeping them safe from falling out during transport.

These are great for beginner or advanced knitters. Easy to use, smooth knitting, and 10 different sizes to cover most of your knitting needs.

The Knitter's Choice Bamboo knitting needle set can be found on Amazon.

PinPix



Are you looking for a really nice bulletin board for your office, bedroom, or classroom? Then you might want to check out PinPix from Art for Frames which you can find in several colors and sizes. If you go to Art for frames website you can even order personalized bulletin boards. Myself I am thinking really nice Christmas gifts that can be useful art.

These bulletin boards come packaged really well. I thought I was getting an expensive piece of art when it was delivered but nope just the bulletin board so right away this company was making an impression on me.

Once we opened the box and took out the bulletin boards I was in love. They come with everything you need to hang this on your wall, and even a package of pushpins. With self healing technology where the holes heal themselves this is an awesome product. Our girls loved checking on the holes in two days to see how much they healed.

Now of course I have two girls who each want one of these plus me being the mom having my heart set on putting one in my computer room, so I am thinking ordering some for gifts for Christmas just has to happen this year so everyone is happy.

The PinPix bulletin boards can be found on Amazon in several colors and shapes.



What Art to Frames has to say about their product.

  • PinPix is a patent-pending canvas bulletin board created with self-healing technology that limits wear and tear when pricked. 
PinPix boards are made from high quality canvas with beautiful designs you will be proud to display anywhere in your home.

Prick the canvas with a pin to display a recipe, photo, note or clipping.

Remove the pin and within the space of 48 hours the holes will partially repair themselves due to the self-healing quality of the canvas!

Dauber Dawgs Dot Activity Book






This is a great item if you already have the Dauber Dawgs dot markers or even a different set from a different brand. You get 24 different animal sheets, and they are good enough quality to be able to copy if you have a copy machine. My husband scanned these so that my girls and grand daughters can do them all over again just by printing what they would like to work on.

My daughter likes to use the dot markers first and then she likes to go back in and color the rest of the picture.

Really nice for both young and old. Yes even us parents enjoy using these. Can be used at home or school for learning or just for fun.

Beginner's Carving






If you are thinking about carving or know someone who is this might be a great item for them. I can see more advanced carvers using this tool set as well.

Years ago my husband liked to carve but did it with knives and ended up getting stitches more then I would have liked him to have because he had the wrong tools. Tools like this might have saved him a few trips.

I love that it comes with so many pieces so that you can get different carving techniques with one set. There are 12 pieces in the set and the ebook that was included is a really nice extra.

We told ourselves we would try to make sure our children had the right tools to do arts and crafts with so they wouldn't have to make those trips to the hospital. So far so good, 25 years later and no trips to the hospital for craft disasters.

The Beginners Carving Tool set can be found on Amazon.

Set of 12 Micro Carving Knives by renowned brand Carver's Craft. Comes with beginner's ebook of carving designs.

High quality set, NOT made in China. Has everything you need to learn carving with wood, or even clay, soapstone or lino. Perfect for beginner's or kids.
