Yesterday I was looking for a Hole Punch in my sewing drawers. I thought of Dennis when I came across quite a few pairs of scissors. I decided to do a head count. I got to 43 pairs, and I know I have 2 or 3 more small pairs in with hand embroidery items in the cupboard. I was quite amazed as I did not know I had so many pairs. This is not counting other cutting utensils that I use in the Sewing Room such as Rotary cutters etc. By the way I still have not found the Hole Punch.

If only he felt well enough to visit and tell us all how we do not need all the scissors. I am not going to count again as I have added to my collection since the last count.
I know where my hole punch is -- would you like to borrow mine? Come on over...

Yes Hubby says why stop at 43 + pairs you may as well go for 50 pairs. Hope he is going to pay for the extra ones.

I got quite a shock and have counted them 3 or 4 times to make sure I did not make a mistake.

Toogie you have made me laugh. They are not all in the same place. That is why I did not realise I had so many. Yes I am afraid Dennis would agree with you. I need to go to that SS Group. lol

I have some that I have not used in a long time. I guess that is why I did not realise I had so many.
