Old Friends

These scissors are old friends of mine:

I LOVE these scissors. They have been with me now for, oh, 25 odd years. Just recently I had them sharpened, that's a whole other story, and was without them for a month. I didn't necessarily need them, I just take comfort in knowing that they are there in my drawer.

The first two are my paper scissors that I use for patterns. The last pair is for fabric ONLY! My favorite pair is the one with the old ratty piece of fabric tied on. The ratty fabric has been there for about 25 years as well. Everyone in my household knows that these are OFF LIMITS to them. They are mine and mine alone.

I'm so excited about them being sharpened because I have projects piling up and am anxious to get creating. More on this in another blog.
