Lovely scissors and fob

I didn't take pictures, but I reorganized my craft stuff this afternoon. My bed was completely covered in kits only. Then I have three people's worth of pattern books (inheritance from when my mom lost interest/became a mom all over again), and have 7 or 8 pieces of fabric, but at least I know what are going on those.

I didn't realize how bad of a stash pack-rat I am until today... and I have to go to Michaels tomorrow for thread. I think I need some sort of divine intervention.

Meerkat, those scissors are absolutely beautiful.

I have seven pairs of those scissors they come in blue pattern and pink pattern as well as the above pattern. They are on ebay in UK, but i got mine from my local sewing shop and not the stork ones but the ordinary ones as i prefer those.

I am glad my camera battery just went flat as I am too embarrassed to photo my seven pairs of scissors

The scissors are absolutely beautiful!!

7 pairs of scissors, barb!! I've only got one wee pair of plastic handled ones - which every once and a while Mark takes into the barn and sharpen for me. Bless him.

Lovely scissors Meerkat. I've got four pairs, but I'd love to collect more especially unusual ones. Having said that, my favourite are a very plain pair bought from Tesco a few years ago!

The scissors I use are from a suture kit, on of our ER docs opened the kit and then decided to use skin glue instead...and we can't re-use the kit as it was opened in the room...such a waste to throw away perfectly good and sharp scissors!! So I was just recycling right?

So here are some pics of the bday gift my hubby got me...so I had to put in the pics of it wrapped. LOL

Came home and found this sitting on the kitchen table


He made the bow himself had to add that I am impressed I can't even do those pull bows without them getting tangled LOL


And the gift itself
Its an all in one printer/fax/copier/scanner and it is wifi.
By the way I forgot to put that this was the newest addition to my stash LOL. My hubby I think got tired of me complaining about having to go all the way to my parents just to make a working copy!! and I wanted to scan some pictures for a family member!! So the way it seemed like this was put in the wrong spot!

I've got mine in drawers and on shelves....I'll get it sorted and post the pics soon.
Love the scissors meerkat!

Well, I promised I'd post some pics of my stash so here they are: I think the pics tell what's there, but I can answer any questions......great or small!

Wow!! thats a very impressive amount of stash!! I'm very jealous!
I love looking at people pics of stash!

Impressive

I love the look of all that stash!

Great stash everyone.

Great stash everyone

Mmmm lovely stash Sue.

I'd love to take a picture of all my stash but a) I don't have a digital camera, b) my craft room is currently serving as a storage locker for stuff I had in other rooms as I try to do some purging and spring cleaning adn c) I'm afraid it wouldn't all fit in one picutre

Last night I did decide to look through my tub of fabrics for a birthday project I'd like to do for a friend instead of just running out and buying something online. Turns out I had several color choices (for what I'm looking for) to pic from and A LOT more fabric than I remember I had.

Please excuse my pitiful stash. It's quite clear that I don't have nearly enough floss. However that will be remedied!



I've just shown kits to be done and some of my fabric etc, WIPs and unframed stuff I've not bothered including.

It's still going to take years to clear. BTW if anyone wants the Fantasy book let me know and I'll be happy to swap it for a skein or two of silk.

You have some very nice projects there! They're going to be a lot of fun to stitch!

Lovely stash!!!!!
