Funny, but happy for you it could have gotten somewhere else, shell we say "not so comfortable" and you found it in the middle of the night!

Was it hiding on my naked body somewhere? I went from my bed to the shower - no where near my sewing room - so where did it come from? I do have extremely long hair - I am guessing maybe it was tangled in my braid (how it got there - I don't know) or gasp!!!! was it somewhere else hiding? :( So beware of your pins - this one had a flower-shaped head on it - maybe its only these pins that attach to us. I thought I only had to worry about bits of thread being attached to me....:shock:

I had to let ya'll know I went to pick up my pins which I keep in a baby food container(plastic box) andf the static shock made me sling them and I had them all over me I shook clothes and then got magnet to get them all coralled. My DH thought that it was funny but I did not as I was fishing them out of places I did not want pins.

Things that make you go "hmmm" =:O

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Can we get can hazard pay!

Pins and Legos (if you have little ones), can cause great pain if stepped on :-)

I'm really careful with pins as I don't want my dog stepping on one or, worse, swallowing one. But yesterday, I removed a safety pin as I was quilting and I dropped it on the floor. I heard it hit and I looked all over and couldn't find it. Later in the evening - in another room - it suddenly dropped on the floor. Fortunately, I did hear and see it that time. It must have hit the floor the first time and bounced up onto my clothing and stuck.

I'm grateful that Jack is a good boy and doesn't get into stuff. His predecessor was a devil in dog's clothes and I would have had to completely banish him from the sewing room, but I hadn't taken up quilting when I had him. :D

Girl To funny. I find pins everywhere. Yes even in the bathroom. I think they are trying to excape their captivity in the sewing room.

And Barbie doll high heels, at least the ones from the sixties.
