OK. I am a bit of a crazy. I have a 'collection' of scissors I don't know how it happened or exactly when it started. Maybe because scissors hide and kids carry them off. They take legs and hide - they go in weird places. Yup I keep scissors just for fabric, just for paper, just for other stuff, just kitchen scissors, just to clip threads, a half a little scissors to pick out stitches, kid scissors, fingernail scissors, long scissors, really long scissors, short scissors, hair cut scissors, button hole scissors, hair thinning scissors, historical camping scissors, special edge type scissors and so on. Oh yup there are yard scissors in the garage. I have yet to have a pair of pinking scissors stay sharp and if they go to a sharpener place they don't work any better before than after on fabric. When we moved here I started collecting the scissors I had around the house and I hung them in the window. Ikea has a real nice heavy rail thing that fits above my window perfectly and some hooks so I got some and hung scissors of all kinds. I keep finding more scissors. I don't know where they keep coming from. Now they are all together in the window but I still use certain scissors for certain projects. Once when I was getting a hair cut the beautician said some people's hair will dull their scissors.
