Something tickled my funny bone today. I was perusing through the January 2011 edition of Martha Stewart magazine this morning and came across this picture:
Can you imagine if this was our whole sewing repertoire? How would I ever make it with just 12 pins???
Slow, quiet progress

Very funny! I have 3 pincushions!
Maybe they meant for a survival kit on a deserted island??
...hysterical indeed! Does Martha even know how to sew?
Christiana
I can find 12 pins under my sewing chair alone.
It's a cute idea for an emergency kit, but $16 for the 3 ring binder? Wow!
That is funny. Does anyone remember a spoof Martha Stewart calendar from like 10 years ago. It was hilarious. The entry for one date was "Martha adds 2 feet to the Great Wall of China". On another, a Martha lookalike is pounding on a rock with a hammer "Martha makes her own potting soil from ancient Peruvian rocks..."... etc.
I wonder if my 300+ spools of thread would fit in that baggie? Probably not - might need a bigger bag...
Funny! I like Cidell's comment about finding 12 pins in her couch! I kinda think it might work for a travel sewing kit, though... What would we do without Martha!
I dont think martha proof reads these article. Even as a travel sized kits its too minimal.
I have 3 tins of pins, All sizes!
12 pins; so priceless! Maybe there are lots of other sewing goodies in the other pages of the ring-binder. I used to enjoy her magazine when I lived briefly in the US. The pictures were really lovely I recall, all beautifully styled with gorgeous colour schemes. I've never seen it here in Australia though.
Cidell's comment really made me laugh!
What was Martha thinking?
Serious set. :-))
It makes a cute magazine lifestyle picture for people who like the idea of sewing, but aren't going to sew. Sort of like all the pictures of fancy kitchens for people who eat out at least 3 days a week!
There are more than 12 pins on my floor!
What a funny picture....and great comments, everyone. How funny I musy sound to these non-sewers after declaring my love for the Susan Khalje needles and pins. Have yours arrived yet?
Happy New year!
Haha! That tickled my funny bone as well. Thanks for sharing.
Maybe Martha was only allowed 12 pins in JAIL!!! ha ha ha....but Cidells comment rings true. Had to laugh,
Oh, happy New Year... here we've just hit 2011!
That's pretty funny.
They missed out on advertising opportunity by not also featuring something like the IKEA cupboard/wardrobe I store my notions in, heh!
Happy New Year!
LOL!! I have a ton of pins and I still always run out! Those threads are pretty though ;o)
LOL! Someone has not seen my boxes and boxes of doo-dads and notions and thread...
LOL great picture find.
Happy New year! I hope 2011 is a wonderful year for you and your family.
