A Get Well Picture for Dennis - I took this picture of items in my sewing room. There is one item that has absolutely NOTHING to do with sewing. I am guessing that Dennis will be the only one who can spot the Errant Object. Can You? Be careful, it's not as easy as you may think! Have Fun!

I hang my head in shame, that I missed it. I have used it many times in the military. Thanks for the game.

I too thought it was a sewing machine foot.

It was fun and I think it's good to have a bit of play.

Thank you

Oh bother! I can not believe I missed it! Even with the hint. I got one also when you were in town! We were at the surplus store! I put mine away, however now I am going to find it. What does it do again? Open cans?

This was a fun idea to share Jan! I hope others give this a shot....i think my sewing-desk drawers have many extraneous objects inside....many have chocolate!!

Thanks Jan,

That jumped out at me right from the first look, but I thought it was a special kind of sewing foot attachment for one of your sewing machines! Just goes to show, you should go with your gut instinct! Great fun, love Chris

I got it right. We always had one of these in the house when I was a kid. You can watch a video on you tube of how it works. And it was right in front. I first guessed Yoda then took another look.

thank you for the answer. But I still don't know what the item is. The link does not work for me. Can you post a picture of the actual item?
Thank you for the fun. Hugs :)

Well, I don't think Dennis ever got to see this, but we sure had a lot of fun with it! All in all I think seven people got it right! The number one guess by far was Yoda, tunny little green guy. But, he is actually a USB flash drive for my embroidery machine, the second most guessed answer was the torch, more commonly called a flash light in the US. I use that lots of time looking for thread caught in my machines. And that washer-like thingy is a screw remover, provided by Brother. But the actual item is the P-38 and Army issued can opener by sister gave me over 30 years ago that just kicks around in my sewing supplies. A couple of people suggested it might use it for a thread ripper! Here is a link to the website page from my dad and my website Remember the Deadeyes where the P-38 is explained - all from my interest in this little device! I hope you had fun with this, and hope someone else will take us on a little trip in their sewing room! Thanks everyone!

I'm still trying to figure out some of the items, but I have a pin cushion exactly like yours (on the left). My sister brought it to me from Taiwan over 40 years ago!!

My parents brought it to me from the World's Fair a long, long time ago!

Patricia103 by Patricia103 10 May 2014

I know a few people who have the exact same pincushion here in Australia.

That is pretty neat, I've never seen a pin cushion like that, great information!
