We have the latest Needle Magnet in the shop and it's from Puffin & Co. This is the same company that makes the lovely Strand Separators so you know the magnet is beautiful.
Needle Nanny
This lovely handmade copper, brass and nickel heart will hold those scissors and needles right where you want them!
The Needle Nanny is as practical as it is pretty and you won't be spending precious stitching time looking for those scissors or needles that are forever finding a way to hide from you!
I spoke with Diane today (she is the owner/designer) and she told me the magnets are selling great and she has three more designs in the works - you can pre-order the Sheep, the Kitty (it's a sitting kitty), and the Dove. We have the Heart in the shop now and it's even in the e-store!
Later this week I'll be ordering the new Puffin Perch Needlework Organizer. If you've purchased a Puffin Strand Separator and thought it was just too pretty to keep hidden, this item is for you!
From Diane, r newly designed and very practical Puff
"The newly designed and very practical Puffin Perch is a perfect place to display your puffin while not in use, as well a handy place to keep your basic tools at the ready.
This handy Puffin Perch can be used to display your puffin while not in use, and has a little tiny pin cushion for your pins, a magnet for needles, a magnet to keep your punch needle threader from getting lost, ( I am forever losing the flimsy things!) and plastic lined slots for your needlework scissors and punch needle.
This nifty organizer is handmade using a wooden base and wooden embroidery hoop, finished with a chestnut stain and handrubbed oil finish. An accessory that works as a lovely display for your fine needlework tools. "
The Puffin Perch is also in the e-store and pictured above.
You can view both items under "Needlework Tools" in the e-store at
E-store. We're still working on getting stuff in there.
If you've missed previous emails and are wondering about the Craft Strand Separator, here's a link to a video that shows how they work.
