Last week I was sewing, and I dropped a common sewing tool. It shattered on the tile floor.
It was old, , much used, and scratched up, but 100% funtional.
I was shocked that it shattered.
But I was interested to see it's innards.
Here is one photo. Can you guess what this is?
Maybe this photo will help:
Actually this is what it looked like right after it fell. Well with a lot less pins, they were scattered on the floor.I used the magnets to collect all of the pins that scattered before Coco-Nut Ibrahim Garcia, our new Chihuahua started to scarf up the pins. He loves to grab things in my sewing room and run off with them. Here's a picture of Coco-Nut
Still not sure what it is that I dropped?
Well, Here is a picture of the new one I bought when I was in California last week:
Yep! a GRABBIT magnetic pincushion. My old one was red. It was scratched,nicked and dented you could say, very well-used. My best guess is that it is at least 20 years old. I could see no reason to replace it it did its job. And I have dropped it before. It must have just hit at the right angle to cause it to shatter.
So now I have a shiny new GRABBIT!
And here is a beach picture, well a sunrise over the bay with the lights of La Paz in the background:
