These new & improved Cricut cutting mats are superior to the old ones, the StrongGrip works well w/thick cardstock & chipboard. They are supposed to last 2x longer than the old mats, however I haven't had my long enough to test that.

Pinball Painter is a toy that combines paint and balls to encourage the creation of artwork in a slightly less then imaginative, yet fun way. With Pinball Painter, kids do not need to think about their own way to create a work of art. They just sit back, launch balls across a sheet of paper, and let the device create the work for them.

Pinball Painter is a reasonably fun toy and most kids will like flicking the small balls and watching the designs they create. All you do is place a few drops of different colored paints on the balls and/or on the paper, then flick the balls across a sheet of paper by placing each ball into a holder and then pulling back and releasing the plastic tab beneath. The balls come into contact with the paper and release some of the paint sporadically, creating a random work of art in the process.

My girls seem to like this artistic toy and they had fun making the works of art, but it doesn't take long to notice some of the potential problems with this toy. One is the potential for making a mess. The paint is easily washable, but is far too runny. It doesn't stay in place very well and when it transfers itself to the paper, it is still likely to run, which can ruin an otherwise interesting design when the paper is removed. Other issues I have are with the small plastic ballsthey are easily lost, due to their sizeand the lack of colors. Primary colors are all you get and while this is a nice start, other, fancier shades would have been more fun.

Pinball Painter is good for its encouragement of artistic creation and it's a decent toy overall that can produce some interesting works of art. A child doesn't really have to use his/her imagination with an artistic toy such as this, and that can be both good and bad. The product is a tad overpriced and it does have some notable flaws, but it is still a good way to pass the time and kids who love art will enjoy it very much.

SINGER DF150G Adjustable Dress Form

This dress form is very convenient. The multiple dials give you a lot of control in getting the right measurements, and the fabric-covered surface lets you pin materials to the form.

However, there is one major drawback. You can't use the form to create tight-fitting tops or dresses, because the chest shape is not true to life! In real life, breast width transitions gradually from top to bottom, but at the bottom it cuts sharply in where the breast ends and the rib cage begins (under the cup). On this dress form though, the breasts thin out gradually on the underside as well, making the ribcage in that area disproportionately wide. With the waist and breast measurements set exactly to my own, it is *impossible* to even put my bra on the form!

It would be great for loose shirts and dresses, but keep in mind that the chest area is messed up.

I bought this because it seemed to be the standard that everyone uses for jewelry applications (setting stones, gluing cabochons, etc.). I have tried it for several different things including plastic to plastic, metal to plastic, and metal to metal.

While it is FAR easier to use than the other glues I'm currently working with, it's just not strong until it's had at least a week to cure. It was only after giving up after it failed to hold things after 48 hours, that I discovered a month later that now the piece was adhered solid. So a little experimentation, and this is my conclusion. It's not like I live in a humid environment it's very dry here. It also seemed to help to apply a THIN layer of cement to both sides to be bonded, let them sit and wait until tacky, and THEN put the two pieces together. Kind of a pain, but it helps.

Pros:

-low odour

-doesn't stick to skin

-amazingly precise tip

-good price for amount of things you can glue with one tube

-overall extremely easy to use

Cons:

-very slow to set up (give it a week min, 2 weeks better)

-overall not as strong as one would expect

I'd like to test it for strength as well once fully set, but lack the equipment to do a good job of that. If you need AMAZINGLY precise needle-fine tip, low odour, and forgiving for applications that WON'T be under high stress, then this is an excellent product. If you need something stronger (like to hold a necklace bail or attach a heavy cab to a flat back), then I would suggest going with something different.

Customer Ratings: 4.5 stars

Bought the wrong item. This thread stand is for the real large spools of thread, not the small (1100) threads for embroidering on my home embroidery machine. The thread stand is much larger than I anticipated. I suppose it would work but it's too big for my use. It's gray in color..I know, a bit picky but I prefer the white thread holders that are smaller and fit behind the machine. Will be returning it.

Hot Melt Trigger Glue Gun (FREE 2 GLUE STICKS WITH EVERY GLUE

Hot Melt Trigger Glue Gun
Customer Ratings: 3 stars

This little glue gun is a wood worker's secret weapon. Sometimes when you are doing fit ups, especially on small boxes, clamps are in the way. Thats when the hot glue is the answer. Just a small dab and you have a tough, but temporary bond. I use it a lot to hold lids to the box while I rout them to that "perfect" fit. Then just a tap with a dead blow hammer and they come right off. Doesn't take much to hold them on and that makes for very easy cleanup. Use hot glue to hold those small hinges in place while you predrill the screw holes. I have even "hot" glued pieces to the bench that were too small to clamp, so I could carve, chisel or file a profile on them. This is a very versital tool and I highly recommend every wood worker have one.
