Chainsaws, aprons and sock knitting

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Texas_Chain_Saw_Massacre This movie made quite an impression on me, I still think of it when I hear chainsaws. The ice storm cleanup is still going on and we hear chainsaws most of the day. Happy memories... The original movie The Texas Chain Saw Massacre came out in 1974 , I was in high school and it scared the poo out of me. It has turned into a classic and even got remade in 2003, if you rent it get the original, oh heck get them both. Getting back to normal. I stopped past the library and checked out some sock books.

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
