All my bobbins are cheap.  It's very long, so won't make a good divider pin
(at least for me), but I'm sure I'll come up with something to do with it.
Stick some lace flowers on it and make it a Christmas ornament, or
something.

That's way too complicated.  I don't even have anything to drill a hole
with.

Thanks, now I can just get another one and stop worrying about it...
