I try not to buy too many gadgets, but one I have and now scratch my head wondering why??? The little kaleidoscope viewer thingy that makes one block into many. Only $5.00, but seriously - what was I thinking!

This has been great to read. You are up early me too finished a great book now off to work but couldn't stop reading all these interesting posts. I use the sort little round "mine is blue" bobbin holder. Simple. One thing use occ but love it when I do, the marked little clothes pin type holders by Fons and Porter the other day had cut squares 2" 2 1/2" and 3 1/2" was great to know which was which quick. Have great day!
