I am like Shelbie. I have a bag for different things: tutoring (one per student); Sunday School/Church: Sunday nights missions group: substitute bag which is large enough to add a sewing project or rubberstamping project. Just like those of you with many unfinished sewing projects or WIPs; I have hand sewing, applique, postcard applique and cards to put together in the small gift bags lined up on bookcase in LR so I can leave the house with a project and of course a book. You just never know when things will get boring and you have to keep your hands busy. I had a professor once tell me if my hands were not busy my mouth was. Hehehe I guess it was a better class when I brought crocheting. Therefore, I have several sets of notions... Do not want to count...Ex. packing for Indy...I ended of with 5 pincushions, I guess I forgot I packed the first 4. We are fun bunch and share. Teresa
