yeah i started making these when i was a little girl...many years ago...and my dad wasn't that impressed being that i was always steeling all of his clothes pins and when he went to hang out the laundry he wouldn't have any pins in his bucket...oh and that he could never find his wire cutters either...

Thanks so much for this awesome project!
