I absolutely LOVE my new Faber-Castell Soft Pastels! They stay on the paper, especially if you use paper that is specified for pastels. The colors are breathtaking! The range of 72 different colors makes it so much easier to get that perfect shade you want for your artwork! The sticks are easy to hold and soft. But not so soft that they crumble!!

I was happy to find this on amazon. There was little selection in the local crafts store. And this same product was 40% more.

I have used these pastels in my art class with great results. Can't wait to put to use at home!

I was a bit worried because others mentioned breakage in transit. I didn't have a single break. :) It was in a box with plenty of bubble wrap, and came intact. Very pleased. Great deal.

This is a very nice starter set of affordable, pro-quality pastels. They are listed as soft pastels but are more on the semi-soft side. Softer than Nu-Pastels but more firm than Mount Vision or Unison. The are great for blocking in colors, they blend smoothly and you can quite effectively use the edges of broken pieces for fine lines/details. I am very pleased with the quality and handling of these pastels and the range of colors provided in this set make will make a worthy contribution to your pastel collection.

Honest reviews on Faber-Castell Goldfaber Studio Soft Pastels set of 72

I'm just getting started with pastels and hadn't read much about different brands before impulsively picking up a box of these. I tried them and found them dusty and the colors not very brilliant. A quick comparison with some 20-year-old Rembrandt pastels (donated by a friend who had a box of remnants) was revealing--the Rembrandt brand lays down far more pigment, creates less dust, and is overall a superior product. I recommend visiting any of the many conversations at wetcanvas.com to learn more about the other outstanding brands of soft pastels available.

These are just what I expected. I have ordered other pastels that were more like crayons than pastels. These are a better type of pastel. They apply very smoothly and are relatively easy to control. These are a bit messy (dusty) and you need to make sure you use paper made for pastel art. But The results I got were beautiful.

I ordered the tool set to use in my pottery. I have been using them for a couple of weeks now and they have exceeded my expectations they are great! Shipping was really fast, too. I received a notice that it would be about a month before I received them ( coming from over seas on a slow boat, I guess ) but I was pleased to receive them in about a week!

Overall, a great buy.

I bought this foot because my walking foot was on the fritz. I make and sell cloth diapers, and a walking foot is (or so I thought) integral to sewing with the waterproof PUL fabric I use for the outer part of the diaper. This teflon foot is 100% better than the walking foot, even when it was working properly. The fabric slides through evenly, yet you have very good control. I have a Brother CS-6000i, and this foot snaps right on to the low-shank. No matter what position the needle is in, it doesn't hit the foot at all. It will save me time, too, because I can use it for the construction of the whole diaper instead of switching between my regular foot and walking foot. This is a great product and for an excellent price.

My sewing project used an 18-gauge vinyl and when I started sewing, it was really hard because the vinyl was sticking even if I have put tissue paper on the sewing board and on top of the material. When I got this through prime shipping, it made my sewing a lot easier and I do not have to cover my vinyl with tissue paper. This also perfectly fits my Brother CS6000i. Great help for a newbie in the sewing field!

This product is really cool if you are making a bunch of cards. It works really well to ink the stamp and has a good amount of pressure to stamp the cards or scrapbook page. This stamp makes a great gift that loves to make cards. Overall pretty good product.

Honest reviews on Fiskars 01-003086 Push-and-Print Stamp Factory

This Push and Print works as stated but it is still a little messy getting the stamper ink pad on and off. Maybe it's just me, but I had an ink problem almost always--too little pressure, too much pressure, not wet enough ink pad, too wet ink pad--and getting the hang of where I was printing took a bit. Just plain old stamping with one bought stamp at a time works better for me.

Bucilla 45178 Butterfly Stamped Embroidery Kit, 40-Inch by 40-Inch

Do you classify embroidery as stamped cross-stitch? Be serious. This is the wrong

size for one and second it is a kit; where is the floss?

According to the description it is a kit and kits have floss and needles.

It is a good thing I am using the liquid embroidery for this item.

I am definitely disappointed.

I carefully read the description.

It says embroidery, not crossstitch.

It is 45x45 inches.

Enough said!

This item was recieved today and very disappointed. The stamped piece of fabric is OK, but I did not open it. Kits usually contain enough materials to complete the basic project, such as the embroidery floss. Also, this was stated as being an embroidery project not cross stitch which would have kept me from ordering it. Cross stitch is a project of it's own or as part of a completed project combined with basic embroidery stitches. If nothing else, this disappointing purchase has, at least, taught me to pay more attention to descriptions.

Best Aladine Stampominos, Savanna Themed Foam Stamps, Set of 10 Plus 1 Deals

Customer Ratings:

The stamps themselves are great. They have a hard foam backing that shows the picture that is being stamped. These are larger stamps, absolutely perfect for a toddler's or young preschooler's hands. Most stamp sets I found were too small for my daughter to handle successfully, but these were great. The ink is fantastic easy to use without being messy or runny. My one disappointment is that the stamp pad that comes with these sets is always black. I bought a couple of sets, thinking that the color of ink would be randomly chosen and I could get some variety that way, but no if I want color I will have to buy the stamp pads separately.

Through trial and error, I'm learning. These are BIG "spongy" stamps, unlike the previous Aladine From the Sea and Aladine Fast Machines rubber stamps, which were disappointingly small (probably my fault for not putting two and two together when reading the product descriptions).

But I digress. My not-quite 3-year old son was a bit "meh..." about the smaller stamps, but took right to the larger ones, pushing down on the foamy backs with all his might, and having no trouble making bold impressions of the various animals. Some of the animals are in sets to include baby + mama or daddy, to facilitate creation of a compelling story line or just general grouping. And they're all big enough to be colored in later with crayons.

These are large and therefore easy to clean, and seem relatively durable for their dense foam construction. The included black ink pad was moist just large enough for the largest stamp, though the method of capping the pads is somewhat fragile and difficult for little fingers to remove (which in most respects is a good thing).

Cheap Step2 All Around Easel for Two, Red/Yellow/Tan

Customer review from the Amazon Vine Program I am a big fan of the Step 2 products. They have great durability, and are usually designed well. I had an older version of this easel, and I have to say that I liked it better than this one (unfortunately I sold it in a garage sale a couple of years ago). The older version had two different boards that were at a slight angle, more like a traditional easel, which I think made it a bit easier for the little ones to write/draw on. This new version has just one board with two sides and stands upright. I guess the plus to this is that the base doesn't need to be as wide so it is more small space friendly.

Last year I purchased the Melissa and Doug deluxe standing easel for my nephews as a gift, and I have to say that I wish I would have spent the $10 more and purchased that one instead of the Step 2 for one simple reason. It grows with your children. The Melissa and Doug easel is height adjustable so that my 2 yr old nephew and five year old nephew can both use it, and you can attach a roll of paper that you just pull over the top and they are ready to create. You can attach paper to the clip on the Step 2, but the biggest downside to the Step 2 over the Melissa and Doug is that it is not height adjustable so it's better for just toddlers up to maybe age 4 (depending on how tall your kids are).

Basically there's nothing really wrong with the Step 2 and they make great products, but for my money I wish I would have purchased something that would have been useful longer by buying the Melissa & Doug Deluxe Standing Easel that would have grown with us, instead of being something that we will only use for a shorter period of time. I didn't really think about that until I had it home and had put it together :(

It came with the magnets which are fun, and a tray to put them on, but it's a dry erase board and a chalk board...could it not come with these things too? I love it other than that. Great easel and my son loves it...just took a star off for having to buy my own supplied for it!

Trying to put this thing together is frustrating. I cannot get the easel to look in place. I have been hammering on the thing for over an hour. All I have to show for it is a few marks on the thing where the towel slipped. This is ridiculously hard to put together!

Update: I got the thing to go together by praying the pieces that lock together with a little cooking spray. Whether or not this really helped I can't say, but the thing is together.
