I know what you mean. I took an applique class recently and one of the things on our list of supplies was a glue stick. I am brand new to quilting and couldn't imagine WHAT we needed a glue stick for. They didn't ask up to bring paper that I imagined we would need to possible glue patterns together....LOL....Low and behold, I was floored when I found out we were glueing the stems to our fabric before stitching to keep them in place....so cool! ! ! I would have never imagined doing that......and it worked!

Ever NOT got the Q-tip out to clean the dust from around the sash lock or the corners of the window sash muntins?
Ever filed something in the no-one-will-look-at-this-again-in-my-lifetime pile?
Ever forgot to dust on top of the door casing?
Ever rounded 49 cents UP?
Ever pretended you forgot your oil change as a few hundred or more? miles overdue?
Ever hit the DELETE button on an email you may not need to answer right away?
Ever NOT RECEIVED that phone message from Aunt Tilda wanting to know why you don't have a brood of kids yet?
Ever heard of the law of diminishing returns?
