Oh, boy! CanvasesBeGone.com has a new look and a new sister site, ThreadsBeGone.com! CanvasesBeGone is the place to buy or sell unwanted stash, so ThreadsBeGone will be a place to find threads that perhaps you can't get locally.
http://www.canvasesbegone.com
It looks as if the threads (listed on the right hand side) come in sets. Sometimes there is a color assortment, sometimes you can buy several cards of the same color. Want an assortment of colors of Wisper? Want to try Neon Rays Plus? This is the place to shop.

My Toolbox (and Needle Sizer)

I have been thinking about needles and telling what size a loose needle is, and it dawned on me you might like to see my little toolbox. It has a needle sizer I made up in the lid. The numbers are the sizes of the needles, 28, 26, 24, B for beading needle, 22, 20 and 18.
The box came from Stapes I think. I bought several of them one year. There is a tray inside that lifts out and I put a piece of Congress cloth in the lid (backed with blue felt you can just see peeking out at the bottom right corner) with a variety of needle sizes in it. I used a thread from Gloriana I liked and just made up patterns. I use it to figure out what size needle I have when I am writing a stitch guide in case I forget what I used.
My favorite scissors and laying tools, and thimble and other tools I use a lot are inside the box and it lives in a drawer next to my stitching chair. Because the box is about six inches long and maybe three wide it can go on trips with me, too.
So what neat tools do you have by your stitching chair?
