Ok, I admit it---I am not a fan of nutcracker canvases. I will admit that I own a nutcracker canvas, though. I have the Danji Robin Hood nutcracker canvas (complete with Amy Bunger stitch guide and all the threads) in my stash. Someday....
If you aren't like me and you have $1100 USD burning a hole in your pocket, you will want to check out this eBay auction for a set of 13 nutcrackers designed by Susan Roberts with canvas, threads and stitch guides from Needle Works in Austin. They are offering a monthly nutcracker set this year but the auction is for a different set from 2006. This link is long, so if it doesn't work for you, click on the post title at my Blogspot blog. (Sorry, Yahoo 360 doesn't offer this clicking option.)

There's a king, cowboy and cowgirl, and many more in the set. Fun to look at, even if stitching these would give me nightmares!
UPDATE: This Buy Me Now auction ended without any bidders.

Well I agree with you about the teeth, the rest of the canvases are beautiful though, but the teeth just do not seem to fit in.
I have to admit they aren't nutcrackers without the teeth and jaws. And we never see the back side where the lever is located.
Nutcrackers are very functional. I just find them odd and a bit creepy as NP but I suspect we are in the minority, Madonna!
