Self Finishing Mezuzah Kits

I've discovered that Susan Roberts sells self-finishing mezuzah kits which Gone Stitching stocks.

https://gonestitching.net/product/needlepoint-mezuzah-kit-gone-stitching/

The kits come with painted canvas, stitch guide, ultrasuede for finishing and the plastic tube.  They are available in various colors.  If you also need the prayer, ask Gone Stitching.

ViviLux Clip On Light Magnifier

The Labors of Love needlepoint shop has a different style of light magnifier for sale.

https://www.laborsofloveneedlepoint.shop/shop/See-Whats-New/p/Clip-on-MagnifierLight-Combo-x68657864.htm

BeStitched carries this, too.

It clips onto a table or your stretcher bars.  I don't know how large the magnifier sheet is but the light looks quite small.  I don't know the weight, either, but I'm sure Labors of Love can answer questions.

This may be the same light magnifier.
