Default Einstein was right

When I was cutting and sorting, I laughed when I came to really little
pieces of very Important scraps. Reminded me of the folks who have a sack
of 'string too short to save'.
Our neighbor who has no scraps came by this evening. She said my wonky
blocks were making her crazy so she trimmed them. Then (!) she began
arranging them on the design wall. . . and fell in love. Maybe my scrap
bin won't encroach international borders after all. Polly

" just sneak a sack full inside her screen door while she's fast
asleep" - kinda like zucchini in some neighborhoods, huh?

scrap pieces make good stuffing, when they are too tiny for anything
else!

I had a box full of somewhat neatly cut squares and strips and thought
I'd make blocks and sort of diminish the scrap collection.
Wrong. While I was putting scrap pieces together and not keeping my
eyes on Scrap Mountain, it was growing by leaps and bounds.
But. There is hope.
Nice neighbor mentioned yesterday that she didn't have a scrap bin.
WaaaaHAha. Don't know whether I'll gift wrap a collection for her -
or just sneak a sack full inside her screen door while she's fast asleep.
There must be a way. Polly
