Have a pin

Hello and a very Happy New Year to all who read this post. Yesterday I rescued my faithful Husqvarna from its temporary Xmas imprisonment in the dark depths of my wardrobe, and returned it to its habitual prominent abode on the dining room table and with one of my New Year´s resolutions firmly in mind, I cautiously opened the Dreaded Drawer (holding UFOs) and quickly snapped up a piece of work before the other protesting occupants could threateningly spill out and demand attention.

Happily sewing away, I mindlessly reached for a pin.....a pin! .....yes, do have a pin Sheryl..... if you can find one that is.   There must be a grand total of 15 or 20 in my little box, all elusively evading being summoned, quite understandably when you see what is in my little pin box....... had to take a photo....all but pins, a lot of assorted small paraphernalia that gets picked up and saved.  Does anyone else do this and have an overcrowded pin box?   I have two other immaculate tins, holding normal and fancy pins, and a couple of pin cushions, but I like these little quilting ones although they insist of disappearing at the first opportunity.

Here is a little crochet mat from the magazine Labores.

Years ago I made quite a few mats as gifts and this one was a small easy design which my daughter liked and kept. 

I didn´t include the eight tiny loops around the outer edges, didn´t like them.

Vicki at 2bagsfull is hosting the Grow Your Blog party again this year, so if you wish to grow your blog and want to know more about this exciting event, you still have time to sign up before the 17th January.  The party will start on the 25th.
