I only use mine occasionally in papercrafts but often use them for stuffing my dolls, but I also have a pair of 'forceps' for that job. I really need a stuffing fork 'cos you can get tiny bits of stuffing in things like doll fingers, but am going to make my own ;-) Fabulous LO, love the colours and love the writing.<br />BTW no story with the sock creatures. When I made the fist one Craft Chris asked if he was going to have a wife and I was already making another. As I gave him a girlfriend I thought it only right and proper to give them names :-) Dancy Dinmont just popped into my head for him and Mrs (though mine's Miss) Knucklfunty is a name my sister used for people many years ago.<br />Anne xxLiverpool Lou (Anne)https://www.blogger.com/profile/00031623590883933453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-218645565952627143.post-32165023108412310772010-10-08T21:10:08.849+01:002010-10-08T21:10:08.849+01:00Tweezers are on my list to buy...

I may try again after your post, but will have to buy some, first. And any tool that needs to be squeezed to release is a tool I can live without.<br /><br />I really love your layout.

Once I almost had kittens when I thought they were 'lost' only to find them lurking in my make up bag!
