Caron Simply Soft Yarn in White (H970039701)
A Lovely Acrylic for Knit or Crochet
by jocelyna
Pros: Soft, easy to care for
Cons: A bit expensive.
Now that many of my friends and family are having babies, a favourite gift for the many showers is a homemade baby afghan. I've tried a number of baby yarns, but I find that Caron Simply Soft is better than any of them. I've used this yarn both ...

Copic Sketch Dull Yellow Green: Rotting Flesh Never Looked So Sweet
by Freak369
Pros: Great color, dual sided, acid free ink, blendable.
Cons: Not as loud as you might expect, hard to find.
I never expected to really fall in love with one of the colors in the oddly named fluorescent series from Copic but the Dull Yellow Green has really been a great color to work with. Not only can it use used for nature scenes ...

Inkadinkado Cling Stamps, Voodoo Doll (6060159)
For $7.00 I Can Make You Rich, Cripple Your Enemies or Find Your Soul Mate
by Freak369
Pros: Great set, tons of uses, color options.
Cons: Not everyone is going to appreciate a voodoo card.
Most of the time when you bring up the subject of voodoo people get a little freaked out and think that you're going to put the evil eye on them. I have always had a thing for voodoo dolls and have a number of them in my office. ...

OttLite LED Clip and Freestanding Magnifier - 19000C
How Useful Is It? -- LED Magnifying Light from OttLite
by dlstewart
Pros: gooseneck arm, swivel base, two size magnifiers (6X/3X), LED light
Cons: batteries need replacement (but will take rechargeable batteries)
I made the mistake of browsing through the OttLite area in JoAnn Fabric.  I had a coupon burning a hole in my pocket, and leisure time … a dangerous combination.  That is how I came to buy this OttLite LED Clip and Freestanding ...

Copic Sketch Pistachio: It's A Little Nutty
by Freak369
Pros: Smooth color, dual sided, acid free ink, blendable.
Cons: Close to Yellowish Green.
The green and yellow green spectrum of Copic markers have a lot of options for artists, crafters and illustrators but sometimes that can make picking the perfect color a little tricky. This is where it is important to know your ...

Copic Sketch Ash Lavender: Creamy, Dreamy And Smooth
by Freak369
Pros: Great shade, tons of companion colors, acid free ink.
Cons: Hard to find, misrepresented by resellers.
One of the coolest things about Copic markers is the color selection that's available. While some colors are only available in the Sketch format you always have the option to buy the empty markers in other formats and use the ...

Uchida Of America Uchida 1122-12C Le Plume II Double-Ended Markers with Brush and Fine Tips, Victorian, Set of 12 (28617112145)
Gorgeous Combination of Colors for Victorian or Steampunk Artwork
by dagny21
Pros: Color beautifully. Two tip sizes. Great combination of colors that really look victorian.
Cons: Expensive. Will need more than this set for most applications.
I'm not an artist, but I like to color occasionally. I find it relaxing and enjoyable, but only if I can use quality pens that won't run out in the middle of my project, and produce the colors I want. Several months ago I bought a wonderful coloring book ...

Uchida Of America Uchida 1122-12A Le Plume II Double-Ended Markers with Brush and Fine Tips, Primary, Set of 12 (28617112121)
Beautiful, Quality Markers Worth Paying For
by dagny21
Pros: Work beautifully, long lasting. Double-tipped. Great colors. 108 colors available.
Cons: Expensive. The only skin tone marker in this set is brown.
I'm not an artist. I wish I was, but I'm not. However, every once in awhile I like to pretend I am by coloring in coloring books. Yep, I'm pushing 40, and I like to color. The problem is, borrowing my son's Roseart or Crayola or even his slightly better ...

Copic Sketch Marker with Ink Refills, V25, Pale Blackberry (CMV25V)
Copic Sketch Pale Blackberry: Not Pale. Not Black.
by Freak369
Pros: Nice violet color, companion colors, acid free ink, dual sided.
Cons: Too many people overlook it because of the name of the color.
Pale Blackberry is an amazing color that can be used for a lot of different things; with blues it has a tart appearance to it but with purples it looks more like a violet. The name is a little misleading but it is something that I ...

Copic Sketch Marker with Replaceable Nib, RV52, Cotton Candy (CMRV52S)
Copic Sketch Cotton Candy: Sweet Enough To Eat
by Freak369
Pros: Beautiful color, blendable, acid free ink, dual sided.
Cons: Too dark for Hello Kitty pieces, hard to remove with the colorless blender.
There are a lot of great pinks to choose from in the Copic series; you can get a lot of range with them if you branch out to the RV, V and R parts of the series but the best matches for this are going to be ...

So Soft really! Wonderful for babies. Great for scarves, gloves and hats.
by yarnlady25
Pros: Nice color, the yarn feels soft on your skin.
Cons: One skein that was knotty. I was able to return with a full refund.
I am officially starting my summer crochet projects. My summer crochet projects are usually small items. I do not want to carry a huge yarn project like a blanket outdoors. I will start making Christmas presents in the summer that I know family will ...

Inkadinkado Wood Stamp, Lab Books (6000797)
Inkadinkado Lab Books: One of The Nicer Designs In The Sketch Series
by Freak369
Pros: Awesome amount of detail, great for Halloween cards.
Cons: Wood base, expensive if not on sale.
When to comes to rubber stamps some people prefer pre-mounted pieces while others like the clings that can take up a lot less space and are relatively easier to clean. There are some designs that are only sold one way or the other so you ...
