I've decorated the front page of my shop "Dangles" in red.

It's bright, it's warm and it's in honor of LOVE!

I've also added these amazingly pretty heartfelt gifts, for you or a close buddy; miniature scissors hanging off a heart key ring with a metal heart to complete the love. These come in a very cool little wood box. It closes by a flexible top with a wooden button and elastic band. These are so perfect, they come in four color options and will bring a smile every time they are used!

Check them out HERE, only $24 for the combo.

Try these, you will LOVE them!

If you've listened to my chat on "Fiber Talk" you know that I love sharing great finds with you. These are certainly great! These very large stainless steel rings, with sharp looking brass screw closures are a fantastic solution to storing and hanging your fiber skeins. They work for over 100 skeins, seriously! Take a look at the photo below, there are over 40 skeins on the ring and that doesn't begin to fill the capacity of this cool device.

The measurements are 4" at widest point by 5 5/8" length.

$7.50 each

Stop by our Etsy shop and take a look.

These are too yummy!

I've always been a huge fan of a good pair of embroidery scissors. Since they are usually petite there is something inherently sweet about them. But when I came across these babies, I melted!

TA DA! Brand new in my shop... the cutest sweetest, and yet sharpest embroidery scissors!

These babies are super affordable, only $11. And they always look their best with one of our beautiful scissor FOBs. Check out that collection HERE!

"My biggest fear is that when I die my husband will sell all my needlepoint supplies for what I told him they cost".

I put a star key ring on this one since I think it's a star phrase!

A few other new ones:

SOLD

(I'm going to post them on ETSY tonight. If you are interested, send me a message and I'll put it aside. $30 each)

Cool storage for you too!

You all know me by now, know my addiction to presentation. That includes, of course, how I store my supplies here at the studio and how I send orders out to you. Storing beads can be tricky, especially if you like looking at them and marveling at their beauty.

I'm now offering the same glass vials and matching acrylic boxes I use for your please, so you too can store your seed beads. These are 5/8 drams each, which is about 4 - 4.5 oz of seed beads, (this varies depending on the weight of the seed beads). 9 vials fit in the acrylic box perfectly! You can order multiples of 9, with a big discount. Check it all our HERE!!

Store them in groupings of size or color, they are very attractive!

Nothing quite like a good tool.

I love me some good tools! I find good tools are a little like buying jeans. You never know which pair will really be the one you will keep coming back to and which will be the one you put on, look in the mirror and take off, again and again. You just never know, because if one did, I would have a much larger balance in my bank account.

This is why I want to share some of my successes with you, (re-needlepoint, not jeans...). This one is my own, and they are phenomenal! I've always struggled with the floss cards out there on the market, too small to write everything you want on them, glossy so your ink smears, flimsy so they don't last. I designed these for my own use and thought you might like them. My Adorn floss cards are 2.5" square and are printed on super duper heavy and lovely card stock paper. On the back there is room to write the name of the thread, obviously, but also where you've used this thread, i.e. which design. To me, that is super helpful.

They are available for purchase on our shop HERE.

I'll be sending out a few for you to try with every order placed, for the next few weeks. I love sharing good tips and if you have a tool that has passed your test, please let me know!

Yummy! I have a new -----

The magic is in the details. I love detail--a fringe, a button, a lining--it's what separates nice from fabulous! Hence my obsession with knobs. Yes knobs! Knobs for all of the drawers and cabinets that we use everyday. It's a tactile and whimsical obsession: tiny artworks of utilitarian stature! Here are some of my favorites:
