Finishing Friday (More Halloween)

Fancy Stitches in Texas has a wonderful Halloween finishing section on their website. If you need any Halloween decorating ideas, this is the place for inspiration.   By the way, most of the Halloween stitching you'll see in the link below was done by Cynthia Pigg, retired science teacher who works at Fancy Stitches now putting us all to shame with her Halloween decorating.  Wanna come decorate my house, Cynthia?

Do you love candy corn?  You'll enjoy Barbara Bergsten's versions.

Love pumpkins?  Then this link is for you.  (But there is a great menorah set, a lovely spooky movie theatre, a cute mini Nativity set, and a lovely Christmas stocking to see as well.)

All About Thread Separators

Like Mary Corbet, I was puzzled by the thread separators from Puffin and Company, at least until I tried one. They are fun to use, and I think folks with disabilities might find them very useful indeed in untwisting threads.

Things that we take for granted can be huge problems if you have to work one-handed!

The Puffin website has a nice selection of designs, too.  Don't you just love tools that are not only functional but pretty?!
