It Won't Last, I Tell You.

From time to time my pincushion ends up looking like this.....
And when it does, I seem to waste an awful lot of
time trying to locate the right needle for a particular task. Rummaging around in the tangle, trying to get at my applique pins which seem to bury themselves deep in the nest of mess.......it all takes up valuable bearmaking time.
The last straw came recently, when I was in Victoria at Bear Essence teaching some workshops. My dear friend and owner of the shop (Kim) had a dig at me and my pincushion! Then this morning when the dog swept it to the floor with her over enthusiastic tail wagging, and sent a miscellany of bits and pieces flying, I decided it was time for a pincushion clean-up!
And this is the result..........

                    ...........but It won't last, I tell you!

  4. Actually it looks like that first pic and worse, most of the time and from time to time I'll pull everything out, defluff and reorganise. It lasts about 5 mins :o)
