pincushion mouse

This grubby little pincushion and I have been friends for about 25 years. My mum bought it for me when she thought I ought to learn to sew! And although he's a bit grubby, I can't part with him. (well it might be a her given the amount of pink on it). Anyway, mouse came out tonight because I had to take up some trousers. It thought it would be a quick job but oh no... they had to be taken up an awkward amount and it turned into a long job. I had intended to hand sew them but I must admit at as 10pm loomed .... out came the wundaweb. I did though enjoy sticking the pins back in with some gusto.... there's a bad person out there and I hope they feel the pain.

I've got my pincushion out today - also mending a hem down on a pair of trousers!

That's such a cute little mouse....been there, done that, but now I drop them off at the cleaners...they do alterations :>)
You would have been told while at the top end the best way to fight off a shark, crocodile, or any other PREDATOR is to poke them hard in the eye...preferably with a hot needle !!
