Release Your Inner Child With This Fun Creative Toy

Oh my gosh, this is a fun toy for adults and maybe older children if they can claw it away from you.
The instruction manual is very hard to understand so I took a star off for that.
But practice makes perfect.
There is a learning curve while you see how long it takes for the filament to harden and dry plus practice in using the 3d pen.
If you aren't a talented artist (I am not!) then search for Free 3d Pen Templates.
I thought the included cord was too short for my use, but I plugged in a USB extension cord, so I had plenty of cord.

Besides Welding, These Are Perfect for Animal Rescue

Excellent welders' gloves.

Also perfect for animal rescue. Resists teeth and claws when recusing a feral cat or an injured dog.

Extremely well made and durable.

The orange is a soft hue, not glaring. The inside is well lined and superbly comfortable.

Speeds up projects whether assembling or disassembling.

Magnetic wrist band makes it easy to keep screws handy, right on your wrist.

So handy and easy to use, once you try it out, you will wonder how you ever lived so long without one.

Fabulous Tool For Difficult Angles

Perfect tool for arts and crafts as well as havin in the tool box for cutting tiles or flooring.

Easy to make an instant template for crooked areas. My motorhome has walls that don't run perfectly straight, so this is great for measuring peel and stick tiles to cut one time and cut it right.

Arrived in a little box for storage between uses.

An Angle Replicating Tool That Works Magnificently

This is a nifty tool I never knew existed until now.

In the past I have done so many projects around my old motorhome and messing about on boats, where this tool would have been invaluable.

Now that I have many more upcoming projects, I snagged this tool for making difficult angles and templates far simpler, much easier.

In my little old motorhome, angles are not perfectly 90 degrees, walls don't always run exactly straight. Laying down vinyl tile, it's critical to have each tile fit perfectly. This newfangled angle-izer solves the problem.

I only wish it had come in a reusable case to protect it between uses, but that's just me, I want to protect all my tools. I tried to put it back inside the clam shell packaging but once you've played around with it, it's not going back in the original packaging without redoing it precisely as it was packaged and that takes too much time if you are busy.

It's calibrated in inches and metric. Very handy in today's world.

Gotta run now and get onto my next project!

The Last Pair Of Shears You May Ever Buy Because These Are PERFECTION

These scissors are a treasure. They remind me of my mother's shears she had for sewing. As children, we were under strict orders to NEVER touch her shears and she was emphatic that they ONLY be used for cutting fabrics.When she began teaching me how to sew I was able to use her beloved shears which cut cloth perfectly  each and every time.

Evergreen Art Supply Super Scissors Stronger Than Stainless Steel Heavy Duty Scissors, Industrial High Carbon Steel with Comfort Grip Perfect for the Artist, Student, Home or Office


Sadly, I've never found a pair of scissors like my mother's beloved ones until NOW.

These are quality shears with a capital Q. The craftsmanship that went into these shears is very evident. They arrived in a beautiful box, with a plastic sheave over the blades. I pulled them out and could smell and feel the oil that had been thoughtfully applied. My first impression was deja vu, my mother's beloved shears have been reincarnated!

FINALLY someone has made top rate shears at a fair price. These are not cheap in cost, but their quality is superb. If you take your sewing or artwork or day to day life seriously, then you want the right tool for the right job.

These scissors are simply FANTASTIC.

I am updating this review because I needed to trim my long hair. The ends had split and it was making it hard to wash and comb. On a whim,  I realized that the best scissors in the house were these Evergreen ones, so I decided to trim my long hair with them. Amazing! I know this is a bit unorthodox, but hey, the 9 inch blades were long and super sharp, so I was able to trim my locks neatly. I even received 2 compliments from folks that didn't realize I had trimmed it myself... with these shears.

I gave these 5 stars because the scissors are EXCELLENT quality to last a lifetime.

Evergreen also makes the BEST sewing kit I have ever seen. I love mine and use it often.

Fun Colored Mini Clothes Pins Really Grip

Review of eBoot Mini Colored Natural Wooden Clothespins Photo Paper Peg Pin Craft Clips with Jute Twine, 100 Pieces 



Here’s another fun and useful item from eBoot: 100 Mini Colored Natural Wood Clothes Pins with Jute Twine. This is a must-have for the elementary school teacher, an art class, or the bedroom of an artistic child. These little clothes pins come in vibrant primary colors and they’re really made of wood. There’s a quality to this product that exceeds other mini clothes pins I’ve come across before. They are very colorful, and that there are 100 of these little clips makes them ideal for classroom use. The extensive length of heavy jute twine allows for the display of multiple artworks or essays for every student in the class. But even better is that the springs on these clothes pins are strong. I have had full-sized clothes pins that had less heft than these little guys. These are tough, which makes them actually useful as clothes pins. Maybe not with wet jeans or towels, but I hung wet washcloths, underwear, and shirts on the jute line provided and the clips worked great. So I should add that they would work great in a dorm room as, what else, a clothes line. Camping or even daily use in small spaces works too. Whatever their use, these guys are pretty tough.

I give the 100 mini clothes pins with jute twine 5 stars because they work really well. The pins are wood, which is pretty special, the colors are fun and vibrant, the springs are incredibly strong making them useful beyond merely holding a piece of paper or a photograph. They hold tight and they're really cute. These are the best mini clothespins I've seen. And they're fun, cool, and attractive.


Fantastic Sandpaper

Awesome sandpaper.

Works on an electric orbital sander or works for hand sanding small projects. I folded mine into fourths to do some hand sanding and it worked beautifully. As I worse down one side, I could refold and start on the next section.

The 100 grit is perfect for sanding before painting. It seems good quality. I am very pleased.

I received this product as a free sample for evaluation and reviewing. I am providing my honest and unbiased review. The vendor has not influenced, modified or edited my comments.

I give it 5 gritty stars for good quality.

Sewing Needles for Every Task


The Basic Home Handy Needle Assortment addresses every imaginable sewing need. This set of seven stainless steel needles comes on card stock with each needle’s recommended use clearly labeled; a great way to keep them stored. I like using the glover’s needle; it suits for general mending and the eye is large enough for easy threading. I hate spending an hour simply trying to thread a needle. With the Basic Home assortment, this is not a problem. The set includes a large and small curved mattress needle, which is great to accommodate either coarse threads or the finest of silk threads. Other than the small curved mattress needle, the smallest needle is surprisingly the one for mending carpets, but any of these needles can be used for multiple tasks. With this assortment of sizes and shapes there is no reason to have any other sewing needles. Don’t even think of buying a dozen of those tiny-eyed needles again. The Basic Home assortment fits the bill, whatever needs mending or repair.
A Trust Leather Needle Tool Upholstery Carpet Canvas Repair Curved Hand Sewing Needles Kit 5 Pack by A Trust

I give Basic Homes’ Handy Needle Assortment 5 stars for quality, variety, and practicality. Whether it’s heavy-duty repair on leather, upholstery, or carpets, or a small task like attaching a button or reattaching a hem, this assortment makes all other needles obsolete. My only suggestion is to get a copy editor to proof the packaging for the English speaking consumer; assortment has no “i”. “Assoitment” kind of suggests a hemorrhoid cream. Just saying. As the product goes, however, these needles are top notch.
I received this product at no charge or at a discount in order to give my honest and heartfelt review. The vendor in no way has influenced or edited my comments.

Light-Weight Carry-All Encourages Self-Expression

I received my Q-Tees of California Cotton Tote from BagzDepot  in Huntington Beach, CA. It is a practical size---not too big, nor too small---and is made of 100% cotton. Mine is a natural linen color but I'm sure they probably offer other colors. My daughter wanted to paint a design on it and use it as a beach tote, which is really what this product is for---expressing one's self. The label explains that Q-Tees offers aprons and towels along with its bags, and is for promotional purposes and is not meant to be washed. Washing, they note, may result in discoloration of product. This product would be purchased by a corporation in bulk so that a logo or company motto could be silk-screened onto its surface. But as an arts and crafts project, it works perfectly well all by itself.

Eco-Friendly Natural COTTON Canvas Tote Bag 15" X 16" X 3" Beach Bag, Grocery tote Bag, Shoulder bag, DIY project, Book Bag, with bottom Gusset by BagzDepot
The Q-Tees bag is light-weight but its stitching and seams are neat and durable. The two handles are attached to the bag with extra heavy-duty, cross-hatch stitching so it will hold up well during use. For its intended purposes, this is a perfectly good tote. It's simple, light-weight, and a useful size.

I give this 4 1/2 stars because it is not supposed to be washed. Since mine is a natural color and it is 100% cotton I may wash mine to see what happens, but not until my daughter decorates it with her original art in acrylic paints. As an arts and crafts project this should be fun. I can't wait to see what she comes up with!

This is a super cool play set for creative minds to jump start the non-artist into imaginative ideas.

The case holds everything including colored pencils, plastic safety scissors, a pencil sharpener, all the templates plus half sheets of regular printer paper.

If you are in a hurry, you can just fold in half  regular copier or printer paper and it will fit inside the box.

We had fun testing this out, sharpening the pencils and incredibly the little plastic scissors cut paper without hassle. The only thing missing for the super finicky child is an eraser, but the box has room to spare to add that on your own.

Adults will find this box fun to play with too, we sure did!

There is a template for just about anything you could want from assorted dogs to sea creatures plus useful ones like the alphabet. The templates are an inspiration for unique decoration.

I gave it 5 creative stars because I love toys that bring out the imagination without use of batteries or technology. This kit will jump start anyone into hours of fun.

This is a quality kit. Everyone should have one.

If you are looking for the perfect gift, this is it!

I was super impressed with the huge variety of truly useful equipment. Whether you are sewing up a dress from scratch or simply sewing on a button, this kit has everything. Evergreen has thoughtfully included a magnifying glass and needle threader. So bingo, you get your needle threaded without any hassles at all. Add to that are emergency shirt buttons (we never know WHERE those buttons disappear to!).

There are safety pins for emergency repairs as well as nice long sturdy straight pins for neatly pinning fabric that needs to be sewed. There is a special tool for pushing a string or elastic through a waist band. I don't know how to crochet, but there is a crochet needle just in case. I thin kit can be used to snagged a loose string in a sweater and tie a knot to keep the sweater from unraveling.

This kit comes in a lovely zippered case as well as a gift box that is so beautiful just stick a bow on it and your gift giving is done.

This is perfect to keep in your car for emergencies or motorhome or boat. As a sailor and an RV owner and a frequent traveler I love compact useful kits.

I received this product as a free sample for evaluation and reviewing. The vendor has not influenced, modified or edited my comments.

I gave it 5 awesome stars because it's the best sewing kit I've ever seen for it's size. I like that the designer truly put some serious thought into laying out the perfect tools for sewing in this kit.
