I received these as a review sample and while they are perfect for holiday use, the design is also suited to every day.
These are not lightweight cups and saucers. They appear to be made of thick porcelain with vivid glazed on colors. One thing I notices is they have excellent heat retention properties because my coffee and tea seemed to stay hotter longer.
Artistically the saucers have the swirls, with just a hint on the cup handles. The rims of the cups and saucers appear to have a platinum colored ring. I am not sure of the actual metal used, but they spark in a microwave, so are not microwavable.
Physically the cups are about 3 and 1/4 inches across the flared mouth and 2 inches at the base. They stand 2 3/4 inches tall and hold 8 ounces when filled to the brim. The causers are six inches in diameter.
Overall these are very high quality cups and saucers that are suitable for tea or coffee. While the design has a holiday vibe they are a nice splash of color for any time of the year. Especially if you like red. I will be using these as my primary set for guests, and have set aside one cup/saucer for my personal everyday use because I love the way they retain heat and keep my beverage hot.

I hope Fiskars makes more of these dies available soon. I like the options of cutting or embossing, or both. The option of cutting without embossing allows me to add sentiments of my choosing.
Review of Moda Aspen Frost Charm Pack, Set of 42 5-inch (12.7cm) Precut
A little lighter in color than I wanted. Squares have been true to size so far, which is helpful to me as I am new to quilting and trying to match those corners and such. These will be part of gift to my sons family, placemats with their name on one square.I love the colors and the designs in the Aspen Frost line. I'm using them to make holiday gifts and can't wait to give them!
Cheap Fox Run 10-Inch Plate Stand, Black
I just received the plate stand and it is not symmetric--one side is longer, so it does not stay up straight.
It looked as I was expecting, and was a good price, but the quality is not there. I could not count on this rickety plate stand to hold anything of value as I am sure it will tip complete over once there is weight on it.
I hope I can get a refund but I am not pleased with the quality of this product.
However, the stand wont stand up on its own.
And even when I put the cutting board on it, it still closes and then collapses.
I tried putting a cook book on the stand, with the same results -failure!
I wouldn't recommend wasting your money on this one.

I ordered wooden plate holders, I got wooden plate holders. Not much to review. You stand them up, put your plates on them and voila. Good product for the price.Best Deals for Fox Run 10-Inch Plate Stand, Black

I looked at a number of different wooden plate stand and this one is good for the value. It's not cheap and thin like some of the other available on the market. You pay for what you get.

I don't learn from reading. I learn from being taught in real life, by a real person. Well this book taught me. This book is definitely for anyone who is just like me. It is amazing and i cannot believe it but i'm tatting. I picked it up and did it like i always just knew how and could. I will post some images from all i've done in about 3 days of having this book. I'm hooked and i would have payed upward of $50 for this book. Amazing. I'll be using tatting in jewelry making, crazy quilting and much more.

This was a really great, easy way to learn needle tatting. I started with the bookmark as my first "project". I have never needle tatted prior to this. I do crochet some but I am no where near skilled when it comes to that. I did learn how to do that from a book when I was pregnant with my daughter (she is 8 now) and I figured if I could learn that from a book, I may be able to do this as well.The instructions in this book were very clear and the pictures were super helpful. The book goes through a step by step process and teaches you the basics and slowly introduces the abbreviated pattern instructions. The way the whole thing was put together couldn't have been better, in my opinion. The only thing that could have made it better is if Barbara Foster herself was sitting next to me giving me step by steps.
My little bookmark came out perfectly and looked just like the picture, I honestly couldn't be more pleased.

Clear instructions with good pictures for visual learners. This was so simple that I was on the internet looking for new patterns within two hours. A very good explanation and instructions. Since the needles were included with the set I didn't have to go searching for them elsewhere and the multiple sizes of the needles will keep me going for a long time.Honest reviews on Handy Hands Learn Needle Tatting Step By Step Kit

This is very fun stencil to use in mixed media. It is a little thinner than I would like but it does bend nicely on curved surfaces. I use it with both spray inks and sponging acrylics.Plaid Folk Art Enamel Beginner Set, 2-Ounce Bottle Review
I bought this kit to create painted wine glasses. The glasses turned out great and the paint was really easy to use. I baked the glasses for 30 minutes at 350 and they are dishwasher safe now. I'm really happy with the purchase. Much cheaper than buying them individually.
