cause look what came in the mail today--
but, hey, I did it anyways--
and there was 3 lovely gifts inside--
at least in the sewing/living room-
aqua--
that little hedge hog is so cute and he is just what I was needing--
he will go next to me on the top shelf of the new stand by the rocking chair--
and instead of bobbins, he holds my spools of quilting thread nicely --
and now they don't roll onto the floor and at the face area is a nice slot for my little scissors--
and it works great-again-they now don't fall on the floor--
these are from a fairly new blog friend that I met online through the Color of the month challenge--
so THANK YOU THANK YOU, Kathy!
and look at what I did get done today--
though I did move the table with the machine and the ironing board into different positions--
and I got some new straight pins for Christmas--as gifts-
so today--
now--
I thought at first this was silly--
cause the old ones still worked--
but as I slid the new ones into the pin cushions--
I realized just how much "sharper" the new ones where--
I was really surprised--
and boy did I notice a difference with these too--
so I will try to remember that at least once a year--
"out with the old pins and in with the 'new' ones!!!"
When was the last time you cleaned out your pins in your pincushions?????
Well--that's all for this post today--
hope you are either keeping warm or cool--
depending on where you live!!!

Cool presents. Love hedgehogs. I figured out that pin thing today when I was busy basting. Time for some new safety pins for sure. I sure you are going to go crazy now that your sewing area is back together. Have fun!!!
L,A-
Merry Christmas to you. Again. Nothing wrong with stretching it out a bit. Nice gifts, and your room looks great!
So glad you found a great use for the hedgehog. Our tree comes down this weekend. It was left up at SIT's request, her high school buddies couldn't all get together for their Christmas/Birthdays party till Thursday. She wanted it up for their celebration. Happy stitching this weekend.
Lovely gifts from Kathy, Di. Your sewing space looks so nice and tidy - all ready for you to sew up a storm! Good thought on the pins - I hadn't really thought about new ones being so much sharper!
Is your sewing machine at a good height for you sitting on the table?
