Joyce,

Hmm, I need a more powerful one of those to find my gardening tools! I am
always losing them as well.

Another suggestion especially for Henrietta after reading her email.   You 
need to get a telescopic magnet 8 to 12 pound strength.  I think it  extends

down like 3 or 4 feet, but perfect for finding that gross of metal  
needles!!!  and pins for the sewers...  I get them time to time from  EBay.
I 
can't live without one.  I just have it stuck to the metal  leg on the
sewing 
table I have my sewing machine sitting on.

Hi  
Well, here is a little tip or two of mine to keep those pesky little  
needles in check.

The rubber needle protectors for knitting needles  work great to keep a big 
end on your needle and keep it from rolling off the  table. 

I store my needles in a surrenge holder. My Husband gets ten cc  surrenges 
and they come in a plastic tube with a cover. they have kept me in  needles 
for a much longer time. Any tube with a cover might work. 

Just  a few tricks I have picked up after loosing a gross or so of needles.
