Title: #EverythingIsAPinCushion
Post by: CecilsTanequin on June 27, 2012, 01:20:49 PM
So I've developed some interesting pin cushion habits. Slash using things that aren't pin cushions as pin cushions. Is this bad habit or am I an innovative genius?

Always in the mouth:

Now in the arm of my chair:

Show us your funky pin cushions or what you accidentally end up using as a pin cushion. And yes, way too often that is ourselves. amiright?

Scroll halfway down the page to "Tailor's Notch" to figure out what happens if you hold pins in your mouth.   It will show up long after your have passed on.

Here's my Pinhead
You just never know what you'll find on the clearance aisle at Wallyworld, I think I paid .50 for this broken dog toy to make an awesome pincushion.

Haha! A thousand years from now my skeleton will turn up in a CSI/Bones type of way and they'll be confused that I have a Tailor's Notch on my teeth but my bones date back only to the early 21st century!

I love the pinhead!

I don't have a photo of it, but my exposed drywall by my ironing board makes a great pin cushion.   ;D
