No More Stepping on Needles in the Middle of the Night...

So, I have a problem of dropping needles around my sewing area while I'm sewing.. and I forget I dropped them or just never even realized it. I keep pincushionis by the sewing machine, but it still happens. And of course, where there's a needle on the floor.. your bare foot will always find it. There's just no helping it.. unless....
You make a pincushion that's attached to your sewing machine so that every single need that's on that piece of fabric you're sewing you can automatically stick it there.. without even thinking about it. So, I whipped up this little flower. Let me tell you.. it comes in handy so much! I have noticed a huge drop in the amount of needles I find on my floor in the craft area and not to mention it's realllllllly cute, isn't it?!
