My favorite sewing scissors
My favorite sewing scissors are a pair of the fiskars that have the
handle that is kind of like a garden shears. I lost (or actually misplaced) them a while back, and got a new pair. The design of the scissors is a bit different, but it is still strikingly similar. Well today, I found my old pair under a stack of papers that I thought I had looked under several times. I guess I just never picked up all the sheets of paper, and it was under the sheets I did not pick up. Whatever the reason, I now have 2 pair of Fiskars "garden shear" style scissors. Just remember: the surest way to find something that you have lost is to buy a replacement for it. Brian Christiansen |

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. Nel (Gadget Queen) |

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 "Sartorresartus" wrote in message ... Absolutely!

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.

My favorite sewing scissors
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! -- Kay Ahr in Reno/Sparks Nevada USA "Brian christiansen" wrote in message ...

Lost, was My favorite sewing scissors
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.

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.

My favorite sewing scissors
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.

Howdy!
Oh, that, again. They just hadn't shown up, yet. See Twilight Zone episode "A Matter of Minutes": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4kquTHzXCMo best part: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TiXd1...eature=related Often we just have to wait until they put things in the right minute. Always nice to have a spare.
