Dreamer I have done this too!!! :) I drop things constantly!!
The extended telescopie magnet wand & metal magnetic bowls can be found at Big Lots for under $5.00!
One problem that I have with the metal bowl... when I place it on my ironing board & I forget that it is magnetic. I almost pull my shoulder out of place.... LOL ... when I try to grab the bowl to go back to sewing!
SOLUTION: I bought a couple more of those bowls!!!
