Isn't it always a pain to throw away a sharp needle or pin? I am sure this is one reason why I don't throw away bent pins. I keep sticking the bent ones back in the pin cushion, thinking I'll deal with it later. Wouldn't you know, the bent ones are the ones I keep …

Autumn Jubilee Another Fun Project
For this year's #autumnjubilee2020, I tried something new and I hope you have fun reading about this project.
