    Default Another new toy lol

    Just received my magnetic wand from Annie's. It is the size of a pen, but expands to 22-23 inches. I can pick up my dropped pin before I get out of my chair. Love it.

    I have one of those and I also have one tht has an led light on the end of it so you can see in the dark. They are really nice, and I got them pretty reasonable at the TSC store on the clearance rack. Mine must be about 3 feet long when extended.

    I have one of those and use it constantly as I have a bad habit of knocking a box on pins on to the floor. It is also great for finding my lost needles.

    You can also get those at Harbor Freight or the Auto parts store.

    I don't know how I lived without one. I have one in each room of the house where I might do some sewing. It is amazing how much weight you can pick up with one. They sure make getting older easier.
