Pincushions and Needle Books

I love wool felt needle books, so I was very interested when Lorraine at Colour Complements highlighted those that Fiberluscious makes and sells on Etsy.

Right now Jill's Etsy store only has pincushions for sale, but they come in five different styles and they are all charming—and all filled with emery to keep your needles sharp and rust free.

I hope by the time this publishes there will be needle books for sale again.  I just love needle books with pages of real wool felt to keep your needles in!

Tool Collector Alert--Tweezers and Polishers

Tanja Berlin's latest e-newsletter had some wonderful tweezers that she stocks and sells, and something new to me--a needle emery inside an abalone shell!  The tweezers with pads on the squeeze section look particularly useful for those with hand problems but the needle polisher caught my eye.
