Circular Needle Holder …clothespins

Yesterday I started cleaning the craft/laundry room.   
I had all my circular needles (which I dont use very often because I have since acquired some knitpicks interchangeables) in a needle wrap...pretty unsuccessfully.   They were a mess.  
So….I came up with an easy fix

Off to Home Depot.
1 piece of steel/metal   1.58   1 inch wide and 1 foot long
clothespins                   1.29
magnets                       4.00
glue gun


You may have some of this stuff just hanging out.  I had magnets but I wanted stronger ones than my bottle cap magnets.
The metal strip I got has holes in it so that I can nail it to the wall….or because its magnetic, I can put it to metal.  Imagine that.

Painting the clothes pins would be quite fancy also.
 You can easily romove the needles.
 I'm sure you crafty people can make them look more hip
But I like the industrial look.
Enjoy!

bones

I have a secret fear.
Every bone in my body aches.
Even when I don't work out.
I work out so that I can pretend it is from the muscle strain.
I can't run as far anymore, because I can't breathe well.

I tell myself I'm a hypochondriac.
I can live with that until after the holidays.
Then I will go to the Dr.
maybe

kids are gross

I must be getting to a point of change.  
I started looking at my kids rooms as potential extra space; as in, real guest rooms.  I looked in their bathroom and thought, Boy, this will be nice as a guest bathroom, instead of a pee laden kid spot.
