I go through a lot of needles in my sewing projects. \u00a0I have lost so many needles and never have been able to find them anywhere. \u00a0One day last week David said he would look through my pin cushions because he just knew that is where my needles were.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

As you can see, I have purchased several packages of needles in the past and quite a few are missing.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0366\"<\/a><\/p>\n

This is generally how my pin cushions look when I am busy sewing something. \u00a0Just ram the pins any which way. \u00a0My needles usually end up in one of these also and then, they disappear.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

So David pushed and pulled on my pin cushions, getting bloodied fingers while doing so, and this is what he came up with. \u00a0About fifty needles that had got themselves deep inside the pincushions. \u00a0Wow, I was impressed.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0365\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

He also replaced all the pins very neatly back into the pin cushions. \u00a0 Wonder how long that will last? \u00a0 Hmmmmmm.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0367\"<\/a><\/p>\n

A friend gave me this cute pincushion a while back.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0368\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I began looking for cute pins to stick in it.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I am a sucker for cute. \u00a0I don’t use these. \u00a0They are just for display so I can enjoy all the cuteness.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0379\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What?! \u00a0Where did he come from? \u00a0Hope there are no needles up his nose!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"DSC_0381\"<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I got busy and made a needle case. \u00a0I am not going to put any more needles into my pincushions. \u00a0I had a little bit of this Mary Engelbreit \u00a0material that worked perfectly for this project.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0382\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I can put my needles just inside the case.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0383\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Or on this little needle pad I can put inside the case. \u00a0Now I will know where my needles are and won’t lose them in the pincushion, at least.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0387\"<\/a><\/p>\n

And while I was working with felt and felt the urge, I made this little British looking purse. \u00a0I love it. \u00a0I had made one in white for my granddaughter and wanted one for myself. \u00a0So easy to make, yet so cute. \u00a0Did I say I was a sucker for cute?<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0335\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Speaking of cute. \u00a0The Sunday school class I work in studied blind Bartemaeus and how Jesus gave him back his sight. As the project, the children made glasses. \u00a0First I traced them on poster board. \u00a0Then they colored them and put on some cute stickers.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0349\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0352\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0351\"<\/a><\/p>\n

They got to choose from these stickers. \u00a0Honestly, I love stickers. \u00a0I can stand in Hobby Lobby and gape at all the stickers for scrap booking for long periods of time. \u00a0That is why I will not take up scrap\u00a0booking because I would be obsessive with it and have to buy stickers all the time. \u00a0I got these stickers at Wal-mart. \u00a0They had a nice selection.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0343\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I had to make glasses for the teacher who likes to fish.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0339\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I had to make one for myself because I am obsessive like that.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0337\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then I made two of these for my grandsons to wear while watching football.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0357\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I think they liked them.<\/p>\n

\"DSC_0354\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"DSC_0355\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The children in Sunday school enjoyed making them.<\/p>\n

One more project I completed this week. \u00a0More on that later. By the way, what group sang, “Needles and Pins?” \u00a0Crystal Blue Persuasion. \u00a0That’s all I can remember about the song. \u00a0So many of the songs back when I was a girl were about drugs although I was too naive to know it at the time and glad of it.<\/p>\n

Here’s to pins and needles and husbands who find them. \u00a0Bye.<\/p>\n
