Hermit Crab Magnetic Needle Holder
Here's a delightful Hermit Crab magnetic needle holder which is actually made of pewter with a sea shell on its back. Do you collect needle holders or crabs? This one is completely new so your friends won't have it if you want to give them a gift!

Sterling Silver Stitches Bracelet Club

Welcome to our Sterling Silver Bracelet Club. Option 1 includes the "heart-y" 8" chain link bracelet with 12 charms as described in our on-line newsletter. Option 2 includes the 8" "bead" bracelet which requires a hanger each month to hang your stitch from. All 12 hangers and charms are included. These are the TOTAL COSTS without shipping. You will NOT be paying this up front! Your first month will be the bracelet and first charm ($37.50/$44.00 and $9.25/$17.25).

Please note: Due to fluctuating silver prices, the total costs are estimated at this time. I don't expect them to change but if they do I will advise you ahead of time if costs increase dramatically.

More charms and other items are available. Most stitching charms are in the $10 to $12 range. Please email me for more information. Please see our newsletter page for more pictures at www.homesteadneedlearts.com/thelatest.html . Enjoy!

Tail Catcher Tool

Here is the solution to those short dangling ends that are so difficult to bury. This has a hook handle and a wire loop handle. Slide the wire loop under existing stitching until it is next to the tail. Place the hook thru the loop, snag the tail, and pull it up thru the loop. Remove hook and then pull the loop handle back out. This will bury the tail for you. The Elizabethan design pewter handles are held together with a 4 1/2" silver chain. One end has a clasp so the handles can be separated, if so desired.

Wooden Sewing Acorn Reproduction
This darling wooden acorn comes to us from New Zealand and hides a thimble, a needle and a bobbin wound with both black and white thread. This is a reproduction of a tiny sewing traveling kit used by Victorian women. Having a "thing" for acorns myself, I had to pick these up at Market! I only bought two so grab them up quickly and we'll order more as necessary.
