Uncle Bill's Sliver Gripper

Plays with Needles raves about these tweezers from Uncle Bill.   They appear to have a zillion uses for many things, not just picking stray paper and threads and pet hairs off stitching. Shop around. Prices vary.

Snow Don't Go Away

Most of us are probably chanting "Snow, snow, go away!" this winter but not the folks in Ruth's Swirling Snowmen class.  It looks like they had a blast!

Here's a slightly better photograph.  This is one of Ruth's masterpieces in my opinion.

The canvas is from Ewe and Eye and it is called "Warm Greetings."  I think it is spectacular!  Ruth's stitch guide and the canvas plus the thread kit if you desire are all available from Ruth's Aladdin Cave of a shop--Bedecked and Beadazzled.
