Ever since MaryJane announced the contest we've (our Farmgirls Chapter) become obsessed with pinkeepers. We keep talking about them, emailing each other about them, sending links to ideas, etc. They've taken over our lives!!!

LOL Kay! How funny! Aren't they such a fun concept? I have been seeing pin keepers in all the little knick-knacks that I have lying around the house. I even have one that was made a long time ago and given to me that needs repaired. It is a ceramic woman that holds a bobbin of thread between her hands; she wears a hat and apron! The back of her hat/head is supposed to be cloth to hold the pin but was lost a long time ago. I will replace it not that I have more motivation.
I was on etsy lat night and I saw some rather interesting looking pinkeepers....some are a little, shall we say, erotic....strange soemtimes what people think of to prick a needle into....oy. bad pun.
