Shop Hopping-Snow Shoveling-New Purchases and Da Loom

In the lane, snow is glistening....hmmm hmmmm....we're happy tonight dancing in a winter wonder land!!!  Ok...so those might not be the exact words....but perfect for this weather.  I love the snow....isn't it beautiful?  This is out our front door.

 

This is a photo near the bridge in Maumee.  I thought the snow on the river was pretty too.  I take the boys sledding not far from here.

On Monday I got to go to 5 different Quilt Shops in Michigan with some fun gals.  We started out at 9:00 in the morning and we got back at 4:30.   I've never been to any of the stores before so I had a great time.  I got a scissor fob for my favorite pair of Dovo Scissors.  I love these scissors and I think they deserved a beautiful bobble to identify them as mine (as thought I would let anyone ever walk away with them...lol).
I found this fabric in a fat quarter bin and they did not have any left on the bolt.  Ohhhh darn....I love these colors.  I bought two fat quarters and have absolutely no idea what I will do with them.....but I love them and that was good enough for me.


I also bought a new foot for my sewing machine and some other fabric that I'm not showing yet.  I'm hoping the boys get outside to play with a babysitter later today and I'm going to put together my Valentines wall hanging.  I love the fabric and I hope it turns out beautiful.

Sandy brought this to a meeting last Monday.  I had never seen a loom like this before.  She said it was  faster than knitting a pair of socks.  I'm not a knitter but this looks like something I could do.  I found it fascinating.  Here is a link that I found when looking for them on the internet.

Sandy said she uses thin yarn and if my memory serves me correctly she said it had some wool in it too.  Da Loom website gives you all the information you need including a video.  So cool.

Nipper Spring Action Microtip by Famore, Stainless Steel Sidehopper by Tooltron and DOVO Scissors

Everyone knows I am in love with scissors.  I can't tell you the number of pairs of scissors I own including  for the kitchen, garden, crafting, paper, quilting, sewing and needlework.  I am always open to trying new scissors and I always buy the ones that work and work well for the job I'm doing.

The top left photo is of the Nipper Spring Action Microtip by Famore.  These were just too interesting not to get.  They cut very nicely and I love the sharp tip for applique and snipping.  The next pair are Sidehopper Jump Stitch Scissor by Tooltron.  These little babies are so nice for snipping a single thread.  They are very fine and I like the easy squeeze handles.  I use them for applique, embroidery and punchneedle. 

The last two photos are of scissors that I will be getting in soon from Germany.  They are the Dovo Solingen made of the finest German steel.  I own these scissors and I am in love with them.  They cut like buttah.  Hands down they are the finest scissors I own.  They are high end and have the price that comes along with the quality.  They should be arriving next week.

Want a fun and interesting gift to give?  Think of these items and other fun notions, where?  I Have A Notion of course :)

Smiles,
Kelly
