Just yesterday, my old seam ripper became almost useless because it was too dull to cut the threads. I knew I had a few more around, so I threw it away.... I couldn't find any ... not one. So, today I stopped by Hobby Lobby and bought one. When I went into the sewing room, I found three of them just sitting in the open space on the cutting table. I live alone without any pets. It's got to be a ghost of somebody I was mean to!!
