@lemmy_stitch @crossstitch @christianstitchers @textilearts @fiberarts @fibrearts I originally started this as a solution to my #BadHabit of holding my needle in my mouth while getting more embroidery floss ready in between colors as I #CrossStitch. My idea was 2 make a #PinCusion that had Velcro on the bottom, so I could either wear it as a bracelet while stitching or use it on a table if I needed to...

@DarkNightoftheSoul I'll see what aI can do. Thanks for the suggestion! ๐ I kind of tried a couple of times with a post or two, but sometimes it's harder to show if you're not *right there.* But I will try harder to do that. ๐ Thanks so much again! ๐
@DarkNightoftheSoul I'm sorry...not meaning to spam. I just love finding new "toys" to do #CrossStitch with, and I love to share the things that make me happy so others can enjoy them too! ๐
@kat_angstrom I have some, but I normally stitch in-hand so a needle minder doesn't really work for me...but maybe I can attach one to my bobbin box! Then it doesn't HAVE to be attached to my work to work! Wow! #InspirationHasHit!!! ๐๐๐๐๐ What a brilliant idea! Thank you!!! ๐๐๐๐๐
@KittenBiscuits @Nima I know they make pincushion bracelets, but I would think it would be a bit awkward and I'd probably*still* forget to use it! ๐
@Sarah @lemmy_stitch @crossstitch The one my Husband has is actually REALLY SMALL. Until I actually saw it, I didn't think a grab tool could be that little and actually work! You may want to see if you can find one in a store to see for yourself if it may be the right size to help.
@Sarah @lemmy_stitch @crossstitch
I'm sorry! Scratch that! They have a tool you might be able to use for that too! A flexible grab tool!!This pic is of a set Walmart carries for around $7. It includes the telescoping magnet tool, a magnetic bowl (also great to keep track of #PinsAndNeedles) and the flexible grab tool. You push the button on the end to open the little claw. These should also be found in most automotive tool stores. #FantasticCrossStitchToolsAndWhereToFindThem
@Sarah @lemmy_stitch @crossstitch Maybe you could get one and put double-sided tape on the end so they stick to the tape when you need to pick them up?? It *might* work! ๐
@kerravonsen @lemmy_stitch @crochet @knitting Yes! Exactly! I usually work from a table or a TV tray, and we don't have much room, so it's perfect for me and it holds my tablet exactly where I can see it best! ๐
@verity_kindle Lol. Husband and I got into a HUGE argument one day because he doesn't like butter that's not easy to spread. So I showed him the package, which clearly states...*ahem*... "Must Be Refrigerated." ๐
@lemmy_stitch @crossstitch @christianstitchers @textilearts @fiberarts @fibrearts Well, now it's a #Cat toy. Our #Kitty was so depressed that Husband got gifts for his birthday and she didn't have anything to open, I felt obligated to give it to her so she didn't feel left out. So now I have to make a new one for *me*. At least she likes it! And she's not depressed anymore! ๐ @christianartists #CrossStitch #Embroidery #Sewing #Ladybug #Ladybugs #Cats #Catstodon #CatsOfMastodon #Handmade
