These items do change and some are more useful than others.  But the things that I find most useful are my thimbles, they have saved my fingers so many times.  There is normally a pair of pliers in there to but they seem to have disappeared for the time being.  I chose a wooden box rather than a basket because things were less likely to fall out of a hard sided box, and I could paint it up nicely.

This was the view of my sewing room from my computer.  The computer lives in a corner of the sewing room.  Scary isn't it!!

The sewing room has now been relocated into a much better space, with all the same stuff.
