The adhesive strips are cool... but if you're not using them for a major presentation it might be more cost effective to make them yourself. Card stock, scissors, 3-hole punch, tape. Cut the card stock into strips just wider than the holes. I cover them with tape before punching to make them stronger but I'm pretty rough on things. Tape ________ to strip.

Can also fold card stock for stronger strip and staple-ability. I love this for postcards... you can still read both sides.

Jen - Sadly, I have neither the money nor the immediate need for a new bag. I just really like the bags. If I could, I would get the Fraulein Tote, probably in Sage.

haha... I went and bought a moop bag in large part because of your link. I *am* in the market for a new and bigger purse, but if I walked into a store, I'm unlikely to have spent as much as I did buying the moop bag and upgrading the shipping. handmade, quality and clean lines sucked me in.

I got a brown market tote. what have you got?

Maria - Thanks for the warning. As I'm doing more research into wooden interchangeable needle sets I think I'm better off buying regular circulars. They all seem to have problems.

I used to work at a yarn shop, and we had nothing but problems with the Bamboo Sister needle set. Even though it was our most expensive needle set, we would never recommend it. I think the owner stopped carrying it for that reason. The last one we sold had problem after problem for the woman who bought it--split needles, stripped cords, broken cords.

Just thought I'd let you know, in case you were thinking about getting it. I know we (at the store) were all shocked and surprised by the Knitter's Review opinion of it.

Stuffed animals eating other stuffed animals is so awesome. Thanks for all the links.

Liz's site doesn't say. It was made for the Medical Experiments in Plush. It does echo the Peter and the Wolf/Little Red Riding Hood stories very well.

Daddytypes followed up with this picture of an artist extracting bunnies from the stomach of a large plush wolf. And Softies Central has a collection of plush creations that eat smaller animals.

Re: wolf doll - that sounds awfully familiar, I have this feeling it was related to peter and the wolf? Where the wolf ate all the various animals... but I might be totally off base.
