These beads do not come close to reflecting the colors shown in the photos. They are, instead, a dark, muted pink, taupe, and peachy-pink. There are exactly 6 glass beads, 8 6mm acrylic beads, with the balance being plastic and one with plastic "rhinestones." However, if that is what you're looking for in material, they do look pretty if you don't look too close. Obviously, I was less than thrilled but you get what you pay for!

Create Your Own Windchime With These Attractive Windchime Tubes
I made a nice wind chime with these pre-drilled medium size pipes. I added other metals charms and got a nice lite sound and pretty look with gold twine. They are the best chimes (with hole already drilled) that I could find anywhere online that have a little weight & size to them. (The really tiny ones from the same company only tinkle). This medium size is not too bad for the money though. I can't find pre-drilled chime pipes anywhere but with this National Aircraft company, so I am pleased for what it cost. I will order more from them -this size only.
Janome Bobbin Holder for Free Quilting & Hand-Look Quilt Stitch
Great item that makes free motion sewing easier. :) My bobbin case was jumping out of place when sewing for a long period of time. With the low tension case, it stays in place and I'm able to sew for longer periods. I recommend this item for anyone with a Janome that intends to do free motion sewing.
Preciosa Chaton Medley Mix Tanzanite 2.5mm to 4.75mm Pointed
These work great for the jewelry clay I use to make pendant and customized cabochons. Great quality and lots of sparkle. I liked these so well, I purchased more.
Jesse James Beads 5909 Design Elements Jungle Boogie, Brown
If I could buy all of Jesse James Beads I probably would. They really are fun and live up to both the pictures and the part of me who has always wanted to go off and join the "travler's" image. They are well made and creative and provide choices I've seen no where else. Buy without hesitation!

Much larger than I was anticipating and very poorly made. Flimsy and cheap; will not hold consistent measurements. Do not foresee using this dress form as much as I had hoped

I ordered several patches for two quilts I was making for my talented grandsons for Christmas. The quality of this one was high and the patch is beautiful. I have finished the quilts and they are beautiful as well! ~Dr Dotty Heady
Dss Distributing DSS46168 Premium Masking Tape Pink 1X60Yd
I have a daughter that goes to daycare and you have to mark the bottles every day with information. This tape is great! It still sticks to the bottles while they are in the fridge and when they are ran under hot water to warm the bottles. But it is still easy to take off and doesn't leave any residue behind. It's our "go to" tape! =)
Janome 7034D Serger
I ordered this serger from Amazon and it arrived safe and sound on my doorstep. Since taking it out of the box I have been sewing away! I really enjoy the ease and simplicity of the Janome 7034D. It came threaded with color coordinating thread and instructions on how to rethread the machine. It was a very simple set up. Basically I was sewing right out of the box after threading! I would certainly recommend this product and Amazon to anyone!

These are great markers/pens I'm on my third set, so obviously I like them but there are a few caveats. As a mixed media artist, I've found several reasons to be cautious of these markers if you are using them for more permanent or "fine" art purposes.
For just coloring or for kids, these are absolutely perfect. These are extremely vibrant, the ink lasts forever, they don't dry out quickly if you leave a cap off, they travel very well, the color selection is fantastic, and they are priced extremely well.
If, however, you are using them for a mixed media project or will be using more than one technique on your project you will run into some problems. (Then again, these aren't touted as "fine art" markers or priced as such.) The colors are great but filling in large spaces will be problematic because they are "streaky". They leave a very definite line with each stroke so you will end up with a project that looks like you colored it in first grade. Secondly, altho these start out with a fantastic nib, it degrades quickly and you wind up with a lot of little "fuzzies", fine "hairs" and the tip of the nib becomes "floppy" even tho the rest of the nib remains firm. This causes problems when trying to fill in small spaces, or writing. (Leaves a lot of tiny stray marks.)
Also, these are definitely not waterproof or water resistant. One drop of water will destroy whatever you've colored. Since water will leave a distinct mark on the paper, I thought maybe they would work well if blended with water. I colored and then used a waterbrush and a regular brush with a little water, to try to blend the "streaks" away. NOT a good idea. You just wind up with a mess. (They aren't advertised for this use but I thought it might work.)
The other issue with these is the color fastness. The colors fade and wash out over time. I used them in one of my moleskin journals and several years later, the colors have disintegrated a lot. They weren't exposed to sunlight (the journal was closed and on a bookshelf) so I don't know what the level of acidity is...but I'm guessing it's on the higher end. (Which strikes these for scrapbooks, just FYI.)
I'm not getting rid of mine anytime soon I love to use these for adding color to sketches, doodling, coloring with my kids, lending to my kids for school projects, making garage sale signs, etc. I just wouldn't use these in any of my art projects or swaps. (I live in a really dry climate and worry the color breakdown would be worse somewhere humid.) Definitely not for work that will be sold.
You won't waste money with these they are great marker/pens for around the house...for drawing or coloring at school or using at home, these are total perfection! If, on the other hand, you are looking for a good "art marker" or "art pen", pass on these. These will be a huge disappointment and there are much, much better options out there.
Sterling Silver Heart Lobster Clasp Jewelry Part
This product came to me very late. The seller said it was sent back to him/her. I forgave this incident, but then when I finally received the product, IT WAS NOT THE PRODUCT IN THE PICTURE. I am very unhappy with this purchase. I needed this clasp to fix a bracelet, which was suppose to be a Christmas present.

Patch is authentic, 4.25x4.25 inches. The one thing the description fails to mention is that it is mounted on a semi-hard plastic and is not intended for sewing on apparel. Apparently it is intended to be framed only.
Fixit 1/4 Lb. Epoxy Clay White
Fix It is easy to use and is "tough as nails". Have used it for everything from sealing holes in a boat deck to making small jewelry items and craft embellishments. Nothing I've made with it has ever chipped or broken. Amazing stuff!
Janome Straight Stitch Foot & Needle Plate for JP760, JP720
I bought this needle plate and straight stitch foot because the picture looked exactly like the plate that is on my Janome Magnolia 7318--and it fits and works perfectly. I was having problems with lightweight, silky material going down into the needle plate of my regular, zigzag plate, and this fixed the problem. The shipping was super quick, and I got back to work on my project right away.
Foot Control #(043271133) or (043271111) Model 21371 - Janome
I have had to replace this foot control twice. While it works great, I'm disappointed in general that these controls die after a year of heavy use. I rely upon Janome for all my professional sewing needs, and while the machines have been super reliable, I can't say the same for the foot controls. My 3 star rating is only because of the un-reliability of this item. I'm pretty sure this one will die in about 12-14 months and require me to buy a new one.
New ThreadsRus 144 White Pre-Wound Bobbins for BROTHER
I have had issues with my Brother Pe770 and thread tension in the past, I received these bobbins and they were wound perfectly and fully, I wish I would have started using these sooner. I have had no issues with tension with these, everything seems to sew better!
