GRAND SLAM SIDE WINDER CHRISTMAS CONTEST

Howdy!

R/Sandy -- staying over here by the Slurpee machine ;-P

I love those who creatively "color outside the lines". After reading R/Sandy's post I was thinking the Side Winder would be really quick and nifty way to pull those loose button strings or chain stitched RTW hem threads. Instead of carefully trying to pull the thread to snap it off (which almost always fails) you can attach said loose thread to the Side Winder and it a split second you can have a button rolling on the floor and under the couch or a totally undone and sagging hem! Brilliant, just brilliant.

OK, here's the deal.....*IF* I get one of these gizmos for Christmas I will award it to whoever comes up with the most creative 'non-sewing' use of the Side Winder.......hehehehehe......this should be fun. If I should not get one of these dealies as a gift I shall bestow a virtual Blue Ribbon for Sideways thinking.

So far keeping Ol' Goofus busy is right there in top place......Bwahahaha....too funny.

I would use the Side Winder to continually wrap my DH around my little finger. ;D

Personally, if spaghetti didn't taste so good I'd really hate it. But with a Side Winder and a spoon, one could roll up each sauce-spattering little devil in no time! Roberta in D

Attach a VERY long string to one end of the bobbin, wind the rest of the string throughout the house ... under tables, under chairs, through doorways and back again (a la Tom & Jerry cartoons). On the "free" end of the string, attach a cat or dog toy. Shake said toy in front of pet and then have an assistant activate the bobbin winder. Watch pet run under the furniture, through the doorways, under the bed, etc ...

Will keep pet occupied for HOURS. And if done safely, can amuse the human friend as well.

I know this because my DS used to do the same thing with the toilet and toilet paper ... he'd place a roll of TP on one side of the bathroom (about

10 feet away from the potty) and then he'd stick a leader end of the TP into the potty, flush it and the dog would go NUTS!!! So would my son, of course.

That's all I can think of!! Hugs!! Connie :)
