Not a tool for lace, but a device to hold lace tools - a nicely finished block of wood, angled at the base like a tiny knife block - two rectangular slots for scissors, one round slot to upend one's pen or pencil - but I put my sewing hook in it and my tweezers in the one narrow slot, and the BL scissors in the other. The tweezers are multi-purpose and if I didn't have a true home for them would waste time looking for them. so they live with the sewing hook and BL scissors. The little block sits on the desk where I work. I can locate the tool right away, in the little block. If I notice that the slots are empty, I search the desk in panic until I find them and restore them to their slot in the block. Occasionally the hook shares with a pen, but that's allowed ~ The block of wood was given to me by an embroiderer. They had some made to sell as a fundraiser for the embroidery guild. -- Bev in Sooke BC (on Vancouver Island, west coast of Canada) Cdn. floral bobbins www.woodhavenbobbins.com blogging lace at www.looonglace.blogspot.com - To unsubscribe send email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] containing the line: unsubscribe lace [EMAIL PROTECTED] For help, write to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
