Knitting Dragonflies

After enough days of ice and snow for me, this photo appeals to me and my yarn.. May you needles fly as fast as dragonflies..

I am primarily a knitter, but also do some sewing, crocheting etc.... Now knitters don't need scissors as often as sewers. But come on now. I have bought many, many scissors, but when I need a pair there are none. Is there a scissor black hole in my house? I'm off on a scissor hunt, and ways to prevent this from happening again. I have seen scissor fobs but never was interested in them. Should I be now? How do you keep track of your scissors???? Please help me.... I found some scissor tails here or here . But they look like they might get in the way... Do I need a scissor keeper? http://lynetteandersondesigns.typepad.com/lynette_anderson_designs/2008/09/here-kitty.html Or a scissor leash? http://www.brodys8004balloons.com/product_p/36410a.htm How do you track your scissors? And/or keep them where you need them. May your needles fly as fast as Dragonflies...   Technorati Tags: Scissor keeper , lost scissors

They have some that even charge your phone and are solar. Water, we have a well, no power, no water. I have found some 5 gallon boxes to fill up, with a spout, these can be used to manually flush your toilet. We are big campers, so my husband manned the camping stove. This was a life saver, when your house is in the 30's even a cup of tea is a luxury. Happily for my husband, I am in a
