From the artist:
“Introducing, PinShooters! from tarabu
There comes a time in every girl’s life when she realizes that all those chotchkes she collected on juvenile roadtrips might be, well, just one more thing to dust.
And she hates dusting.
That’s what happened to me – one day I realized that a) I don’t really want to dust these tiny things on a regular basis, b) It’s more than a little wasteful to donate an entire dishwasher load to cleaning them twice a year, and c) do my friends now really need to know how many times I’ve been to Virginia?
Of course, they’re perfectly useful and some are truly sentimental, but others, well, they are chotchkes that need to serve a function (because my friends and I don’t drink that much!).
And so the PinShooter was born.
Cute and functional they serve three vital functions: they hold pins and needles, they let me sew something small that can be finished in under a day, and they give me something useful to do with all those chotchkes.
Here’s your chance to win an original PinShooter, made just for MrsB’s fans.”

Such a creative and interesting idea! Love this!
I L-O-V-E this idea! It's brilliant! I'm so entering!I visited the Tarabu Etsy shop, and have to say that my favorite item was the PinShooters – Blue and Pink Foulards.I don't know if this counts as a "sewing" project, but I cross stitch (YUS, a male cross-stitcher!) I'm currently on the most involved and favorite project of my life, a 9"x9" depiction of the Goddess Brighid. I am CONSTANTLY losing my needles, and these pinshooters would be a FANTASTIC way to help me avoid this problem!
