[Nfb-krafters-korner] Tip of the Week - Needle Organization

[River Woman]

Henrietta, you are so KOOL.
Yes, I know what you mean. I love using things for other purposes than their 
intended purpose, too. I will attach a couple photo of my needle bouquets 
for those who can look at them via zoomtext or otherwise. Here they are in 
my vintage containers. I LOVE OLD STUFF - have my house full of treasures 
that someone else considered TRASH - each of the old things hold memories.
