Finished size measures: Chick is 5" tall x 8" long (from beak to tail) and sits on top of a 4-1/2" high x 3-1/2" wide base candlestick; the emery heart is 1-1/2" x 2".  Since this is my profession and not just my craft, I take great care in putting together a quality kit which includes a complete supply list, informative & detailed instructions, simple pattern sheet and a clear, color photo.  Some of the wool used in my kits come from Vintage blankets where called for, but most is NEW, 100% wool that I have either hand-dyed myself or have cut from (yard goods off the bolt), pre-washed & pre-shrunk, ready to use in your projects.  I have noted in the main description what is included in each kit and what is not.  I also try my best to include the “same wools & other materials” that you see in the finished sample, however, on occasion…these materials may no longer be available.  If this is the case, I will do my best to substitute something that will come close to what you see in the finished sample piece.    **Please be sure to read the complete description and feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions.   I do my best to post photographs that realistically represent the “finished sample” (Pincushion/Make-Do, Penny Rug or Rug Hooking) project that my kits represent.  Please understand that computer monitors vary and the color representation you see may differ slightly from the original.  I think you will be very happy with your kit and the finished piece of art you will create from it!  Hope you will enjoy adding one of these to your own collection or giving it as a wonderful gift!  Remember…I guarantee 100% satisfaction.   My KITS comes to you from a No Smoking Zone!   I think you will be very pleased with your Pincushion KIT project!  If you wish to be among the first to be notified by email when I am posting up my newest listings: (Rug Hooking, Penny Rug, & Pincushion Kits, hand-dyed wool, Handmade Items, etc.), Just send me an email at: woole1@hotmail.com and just say “SIGN ME UP ON YOUR EBAY MAILING LIST”…and I’ll add you right away!   And don’t forget to SAVE ME to your FAVORITE SELLERS list on Ebay!     AUCTION TERMS:   Thank you for your interest in my kits!  IF YOU ARE PURCHASING MORE THAN ONE ITEM, PLEASE WAIT TO PAY UNTIL YOU HAVE RECEIVED MY INVOICE.  I combine shipping for items paid for with one payment.  If you’re bidding on more than one auction that ends at a different time or day, please email me so I can send you a single invoice with your total including “discounted” shipping.   I prefer PayPal but will accept money orders, cashiers checks & personal checks (items will be shipped after your check has cleared my bank).  I appreciate receiving payment within 7 days of the purchase or the close of the auction.   Shipping and Handling: I ship within the United States and Canada twice a week on Mondays and Thursdays.  I try to keep my shipping & handling charges fair & reasonable; I will bundle multiple purchases whenever possible at the best rate.   Shipping/Handling in US $3.50  [First Class Mail 3 - 5 days]; in CANADA $4.50  [First Class Mail, delivery varies] Contact the Seller for shipping discounts if purchasing more than one item.
