Frugal tip: Recycle sewing machine needles
Thanks to Serena for this frugal tip on her blog:
Recycle used machine needles to hang artwork, quilts and photos. Needles create a much smaller hole than nails or thumbtacks and are longer than the average household nail. And surprisingly they hold quite a bit of weight. I've hung everything from picture frames to thread racks to calendars with old needles.

Was I the only one who read this and wished that my machine needles would reach recylicing age without being broken into bits? All of my needles meet their deaths during quilting projects :). It's a good idea, though; I just wish my needles would survive to be recycled in such a way. Hehe.
Susan :), I need to do more sewing so that I actually wear out needles. I haven't had much of that problem!
