Those notions that we all need, the little ones, like needles, seam rippers, pins, I know they can add up quickly, but these are sure welcome! (JoAnn's discount coupons will help) Also, purchase the boxes of assorted teas, take a couple of each and tie them together with a mug rug. A 'Sams club' box of 24 (or so) of snack bars makes a quick snack when hunger strikes and we just don't want to stop for lunch....
