Hmmm.....when I read this I thought only of shears initially. I felt guilty because I have two pairs. You all are making me feel better!
But...I also have a pair of small Fiskars at every machine and my ironing board. I use them for snipping threads. I think I have 5 pairs of those. I have Gingher pinking shears. I also have left handed scissors I keep for if my DIL is here. Then, of course, there are the kitchen scissors, the paper scissors and the scissors for cutting hair. I forgot my rag quilt snips!
Hmm...I think I am around 20 pairs plus the little suture scissors that I never know where will turn up. My DIL is a surgeon and she frequently drops them off in places around the house she thinks need them!
