pins, abigail

I sewed tonight! Crazy talk, I know, but it's true! SDCC is LESS THAN FOUR MONTHS AWAY OH GOD and there is waaaaay too much to get done. And I'm out of black thread. How is that possible? I'm forever buying white and black thread when it's on sale. Maybe it's like my seam rippers, and socks in a dryer-- they just disappear through a rip in space/time and you never see them again.

Pins, madam? Salt petre!

Anyway, yes, not only do I lose black thread, seam rippers, and measuring tapes, I also lose scissors. Large fabric-cutting scissors. And they often go missing while I am sitting in the middle of the room cutting things out. It must happen to my mom, too, for she regularly buys scissors in bulk for both of us, and yet I STILL can never find any scissors!

Somewhere there must be some evil craft gnomes who are laughing at us all!

I usually keep track of my fabric scissors pretty well, it's the non-fabric scissors that keep disappearing on me. I'll need to cut something that I *don't* want to use my nice scissors on, and then those are all I can find!

Curse you, craft gnomes!

Your "situation" with non-fabric scissors has haunted you for a very long time. Scissors used to keep disappearing out of the desk drawer at home all the time, and I kept having to buy new ones, until you headed off to MIT. :-)

I remember, you marked the scissors with black squares so I wouldn't make off with them. It sort of worked!

Sort of, indeed, since I think there is a pair with a black square on the handle that made it to San Diego :-)
