My favorite sewing scissors

Absolutely! And the longer you wait to replace them, the longer it takes to find the old ones.

However, when it happens with books, it's a nuisance when you go to find a replacement and find that it is either out of print, or so expensive you need a second mortgage.

Absolutely. Mr. Esther misplaced a nozzle, coupling, something ? that goes to his sprayer he uses on the fence line. Finding where to buy a replacement was surprisingly easy and getting it here was too. Naturally, when he went to put it on the sprayer, the missing rascal just magically appeared. Moral of story: just get it over with, I reckon. Polly

This is true! At least I hope so, because now maybe DH will find his keys -the new car keys came today.

Anyway, you can never have too many scissors. Roberta >My favorite sewing scissors are a pair of the fiskars that have the

I've lost a little quilt top somewhere in my apartment. It's only 34" x 34" so it could be folded up and in any pile. So if I start making another one just like it, will the old one show up? I finally found the perfect backing for it, and I can't find the top!

It will show up! Unfortunately the perfect backing will go missing. lol

It'll show up. My DH lost his glasses. Thought they fell from his pocket at Home Depot. He checked there several times. One afternoon he was sitting on the front glider and glanced down----there they were in the flower bed. He'd even watered that bed the day before and didn't see them. Of course he ordered a new pair, and found the old ones the day the new ones arrived. Always happens that way. Gen

This is why I have two pairs of their kitchen scissors...

The three pairs of dressmaking ones are easier... I bought the scissors when my Frister & Rossman branded ones that came as a gift with a F&R sewing machine broke. I later bought the sheers when I wanted something larger. And I gave my mum a pair at one point. They have come back to me along with lots of sewing bits and pieces as she is no longer with us and so no longer needs them. I like using Mum's scissors. A connection...

I need my Mum things too. I carry the little mirror that clipped on her lipstick in my purse. There's probably no lipstick there but it could happen. I keep her little pencil sharpener in my sm drawer; there's an electric sharpener here too but you just never know when there'll be a power failure and I'll need a sharp pencil. Polly

Howdy!

Oh, that, again. They just hadn't shown up, yet. See Twilight Zone episode "A Matter of Minutes":

best part: Often we just have to wait until they put things in the right minute.

Always nice to have a spare.

Oh dear, the solution sounds very like what I am going to have to face before too long (nothing specific lost, just some mystery things that I haven't seen for a long time!): I will have to take absolutely everything out of the cupboard, sort it, and put it back - in the logic of the moment >g<

Of course, a whole apartment might be a different matter! . In message , Kay Ahr writes

Oh, so it is the fault of the guy wearing the yellow jumpsuit.

I found it!! I have a cluttered sewing area, but it is organized. I expected it to be with the fabric leftover from the project. I was sure it was in a plastic bag. So I decided to look on the floor and under the round table in that area. Sure enough. There it was. With some backing fabric in the bag. But I like my new "find" much better.

It's the first picture in the Quilts in Progress Album.

Here's the football helmet fabric I'd rather have on the back.

Wish I could find the dragonfly stencil that I need for my great-grandaughter's "big girl bed" quilt. It was in plain sight on my dining area table and then it disappeared! I know if I buy another set of stencils just to get the dragonfly that it will show up, but I need it!!!!
