I have threatened my kids with there life if they touch any of my sewing sissors or seam rippers. so they always ask which sissors they can use. They are all adults now and when they come for a visit stil ask which ones are safe to use. LOL

Call me crazy, but I use two aluminum pie pans/plates (the throw away kind). Most of the time they are one under the other with scissors, seam ripper, pin cushion, fabric markers, etc. When I want to take something to the living room to hand sew (like binding), I put just what I need in the bottom pan (thread, pin cushion with needles, scissors, thimble, etc) and take it along. The pan is big enough not to get lost.

I lost at least five pairs of "cheaters" glasses in the black hole of my sewing room. Finally gave in and bought a pair that live on my face.
Not sure if any of you read the comic strip "Rose is Rose" but her keys are always disappearing. In the next frame you see her keys morphing into a glass of orange juice or some other object. I have often wondered........

I am sure all of the black holes are sneaky and eat our tools when we are not looking and then they take them out into space where they get together and join up to have a party and have such a good time they forget to come home again.
Works for me. lol Gleniveve.
