So glad to hear I am not just nuts - I do that!!

I love the longer thinner pins with yellow daisys on the end. They always go in fabric easier for me and are worth the extra money.

Brings back memories - watching my mom sharpen the diaper pins!!

My dog, an all-white Akita, blows her coat. Should I save her fur? It's really pretty, except on the floor, and I could bake it first.

I remember learning this trick too when I was just a child, hadn't thought about it in ages. Love this board when we get threads like this going.

yep, my Granny taught me that and it does work every time.

Yep! my grandma taught me that many many many years ago.

why not just save the hair from when you get a haircut? LOL

You need the oil from the hair.

Thanks for the refressher. After reading Amandasgrandma's suggestion I remember that was something my mother taught me. That is what makes reading this board so enjoyable - ideas brought back from the great recesses of time
