I've been thinking of doing something like that on a slightly grander scale.
A friend gave me this fantastic clay pot for plant. It is painted and the
saucer is decorated too.
I was thinking of simply using wall tack (a gum rubber) to stick the saucer
and pot together. (but not permanently) Fill the whole thing with batting
(maybe some sort of weight in the bottom). And then either stitching a top
or finding a grass green felt or even soil colored felt. And them adding my
fancy marking pins, my ladybug pins, a few hat pins for "garden" effect....

I would have to say fobs because I have a lot of different pair of
scissors but not all of them have fobs. I don't use a pin cushion and I
don't need any more scissors. As for the "other" category, I'm sure
there are some stitching toyus out there I would love to have, I just
don't know what they are yet :-).

Okay, I like everything but I'm picky about scissors and contrary to
popular opinion you can have enough pin cushions. I like fobs and
also like needlebooks with some new needles. That's always a treat.

I agree on the pin cushions. That is unless there ladybugs involved.

I like fobs because they don't only have to live on scissors. I saw a
picture of a bell pull with a little fob hanging from the point on the
bottom where you would normally see a bell.
