O Christmas needles and pins

The sewing frenzy has started. In between long 6 hour naps.

So far I've ruined about 10 pins due to the fact I like to sew over them whenever possible. 

Only a couple have made the ultimate sacrifice - speared in half and stuffed into where my bobbin sits. 

This used to be one piece with a little red topper on one end...

So far I've found them all...I need to start being more careful though....
