Okay people - I've always worn those scissors around my neck and never had a problem - until I posted this and ya'll started chiming in with your Pointy Thing Issues. So ... last night - just minutes after reading some of your posts - I sat down and when I got up somehow those scissors poked themselves into my thigh enough to leave dots of blood on my pants. The Curse of the Quilting Board????? Well, I'm not wearing them tonight and until I can put some of your good ideas to work I'll just keep hunting for where I lay them down!
