The resealable tub does not seal very well. It is hard to get the clay out of the flap and you can take the top off but then the seal is even weaker.
I love the DAS claybut it is getting so expensive, we may need to change to a different brand.

Cheap 32" (80cm) addi Turbo Circular Knitting Needles
Addis are incredible needles and make knitting so much easier. The finish is nickle-plated which allows the yarn to glide effortlessly so you aren't constantly trying to move the stitches up into knitting position.
The join between the cable and the needle is so transparent so your stitches don't get caught coming and going.
The cable can be a bit stiff but if you warm it in hot water, prior to use, that will overcome that problems. The lace version cables are much more flexible.
The only thing to be careful of is sometimes the needle can be "too slippery" which means new knitters may be more prone to drop a stitch at the beginning or end of a row.
Other than that, if you are experienced and your the type of knitter whose needles fly, these are the best needles in terms of quality.

I'm so glad I did! If you do a lot of knitting and have the extra cash, these are definitely worth it. I'm tearing through the sweater I'm working on, and it will be hard to go back to go back to my other needles when I'm done. Serously considering buying the set!

I asked a friend to pick me up a couple of circulars from the yarn store the next time she went, and she brought these back. I was a little horrified at how expensive they were (nearly twice the price of other circulars!), but really not having time to return them, decided to give them a shot.I'm so glad I did!

Nice and smooth-helps to knit quickly. Yarn won't get caught where needles attach to cord. Good quality. Exactly what I needed!Honest reviews on 32" (80cm) addi Turbo Circular Knitting Needles
These needles are everything the reviews say they are. I love them and I would recommend them to everyone who wants a silky feeling needle.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for 32" (80cm) addi Turbo Circular Knitting Needles
Unless I am working with a very slippery yarn, I use Addi Turbo needles for everything. Some of my needles are 13 years old and some sizes are used daily (no kidding, fiber arts is my business) so can attest to their longevity and hard work. There are no snags at the join, like some other lesser quality needles have, and there is no discoloration with the needles. Your hands warm the needles and they are a pleasure to work with. I love to use the longer needles to knit my socks instead of double pointed needlesFriday, October 10, 2014

This is a great set for beginners-I often buy them to have brushes available for new students. It's enough brushes to at least get you started on one-stroke painting, plus the brush case is a nice touch, so the brushes aren't just thrown into a box.

Used for focal piece on the front of cards. The die cuts and embosses beautifully and has a range of sizes that makes it very versatile. I used it with another oval die (not spellbinders) so the sizes are not quite the same but I have managed to still make use of both products. This product has already exceeded my expectations. I am looking at purchasing either the circle lacey or perhaps scalloped die.

Reviews of Singer NOM081129 QuiltPro Bias Tape Maker Set In Decorative Tin
The tape makers seem to work OK. I've never tried another brand so don't have anything to which to compare it. Don't buy this product for the tin; the flimsy plastic window had fallen off during shipping! I glued it back onto the tin with a hot glue gun, but now it certainly isn't "decorative."bias tape made easy without your finger getting to close ...works great If you have ever bought bias tape you know it can be costly with this use scrap pieces of fabric you would have maybe thrown out and this item might pay for it self mine already has..

I love, love, love these Shiva Paintstiks. The colors are so bright and they go on like butter. The fact that they "self-close" is great because they don't dry out. Just peel off the outer film and you're ready to use them again. I highly recommend them.
I still need to get brushes before getting started.

Grace Frame Start-Right Leader Cloth Quilt Pattern/ Grided Cloth Reviews
Quality of fabic is very sturdy. I give it 5 stars. However, they are sewn completely crooked.
I measured from the top to bottom in several incriments down the length of the fabric.
The 9 inch one ranges from 8 3/4 inch to alittle over 9 inches.
The 19 inch one ranges from 19 to 19 1/2 from one side to the other but the sew line is a scant forth inch from bottom of the fabic. Making it little over 1/4 inch off.
The 26 inch one measures from 26 1/8 to 26 7/8ths
They were measured laying on a flat surface off the frame.
If I go by the sew line I will Never get them to roll correctly. I am using the velco fasten (the velcro on frame is completly Straight. I have tried multiple times to roll fabric straight but it keeps rolling crooked because of the length changes in the cloth. I do not feel I should have to make adjustments in the pinning and placement of the quilt top and bottom. I spent alot of money on these so I would have a straight pin line.
I have informed the Grace Co about the problem and will update my review when I hear back from them. They have a wonderful reputation so I really hope they make this right.

I love these cloth leaders. There are three of them for the take up rail, the rail for the top and the rail for the quilt bottom. They attach to the poles with Velcro that is included with the leader cloths. It is very easy to use and makes quilting on a frame easier to attach the quilt top and bottom. Using the leader cloths make is possible to quilt very close to the bottom and top edge. They come in king size but can be cut down for a queen or smaller. I use mine on the Gracie King but used them on the Gracie Queen before upgrading to a king extension.Tuesday, September 2, 2014

My daughter loves making her own jewelry and crafts, and the colors in this set are beautiful. These come out looking great on model-clay, wood, and fabric.Best Deals for Martha Stewart PROMO769 12 Metallic/Pearl Paint Set
This set of paints in wonderful. I think I got a great deal for a set of so many different colors. Sometimes a painting needs something a little sparkly, and these are perfect because they don't overdo it (not glittery, just a nice pearl-ness). There are a couple of reasons I gave four stars instead of five. One is that it is a little bit difficult to rinse the paint out of my brushes. The other thing I feel I should mention is that these paints don't work so well with my peel-off palette. They still dry okay, but I have to scrape and scratch them off, which makes me worry that I'm ruining my palette. Because of this, I have decided to use dedicated brushes and palette for these paints, which is a little bit of a pain.Honest reviews on Martha Stewart PROMO769 12 Metallic/Pearl Paint Set

Buy Plaid 16456 Gallery Glass Window Color, Morning Glory, 2-Ounce
Love this stuff. Used it in my old house over the front door window and when I sold the house, the buyers commented on how pretty it was and assumed it was actually real stained glass. If you take your time and do it right, it can be awesome. I would recommend practicing on something glass that is vertical to get the hang of how it runs down if you plan to do windows already hung.

Markers are an ultra fine point which allows small yet clear lettering.
Got them to mark sewing projects without the expense and limitations of printed labels.
This allows the marking to blend into the item, or stand out as you desire.I searched this product on-line for these markers and this seller had them for a great price. Arrived timely and all markers were brand new and in worked great for my quilt label project. Would buy from this seller again.

I love using these chalks in my art journals and altered books, to add depth to the designs and collage. I also like the fact that once applied, they don't smear like some chalks and pastels I have used in the past. The only drawback is that the applicators wear out quickly. I am having a bit of better luck using cotton swabs when the area is large enough. I have also resorted to eye shadow applicators!Laura Thykeson
