A hint ----PINS
#54
Every night I brush my long haired cat and get a big pile of hair off of the brush. I wonder if his hair is full of oils too. If so I could just make a fat pincushion with it and keep all my needles & pins stuck in it.
(KIDDING!) I think.

Save that dog hair... Once took a rug making class from a lady at the local Jr College. She collected her dogs hair and had it spun into yarn and she made an afghan which was actually very pretty. She took a blue ribbon at the county fair. Maybe we could save some long human hair and make a neat purse.....

Also saw some wedding clothing made with couched hair on the embroidery work, for good luck. I might think it was pretty special to have my mom's or granmom's or even great granmom's (several generations lived together oftentimes) worked into my wedding gown.
