Who used Mommy's scissors and why?
There is one really great thing about having given up machine embroidery and spray basting quilts on the floor (because they go on the mid arm frame now). The reason is, my tools are never sticky. Not my scissors, not my machine, not the floor, nor the cutting rulers... Yet this afternoon when I snagged my thread scissors from their post at the quilting machine handles, I noticed they were covered in gunk. Not toddler touches something gunk (don't have any of those, thank goodness) but sticky gunk. Like someone was using them to cut something sticky gunk... At least I have my DK5 so they are all clean now, but don't you worry I'll rat out who did it, and when I do... They'll be using their own scissors from now on, and trust me everyone in this house owns at least one pair of scissors.
How many pairs of scissors do you own? DD at age 6 has 2 pairs. DH, oh boy, has at least four pairs that I can think of off the top of my head. Me? You want to know how many pairs I have... Well let me think, four or maybe five pairs. With three of those being really good ones, because you just can't have enough really good scissors...

I have a set of 3 pairs of scissors that are high quality. I have a pair of very sharp fine pointed embroidery scissors for very special projects - when I mess up and am ripping a seam. I have about 10 pairs of medium level scissors that work well enough for most things and I have 2 pair of fabric chewers that have been relegated to paper cutting.
I have 5 pairs, then there are 2 in the kitchen, 2 in the study, paper scissors in a drawer, and heaven knows what Mr Fixit has in his workshop. Hmm, do we have a bit of a "thing" about scissors in my house I wonder?
Scissors, oh my let's say lots. There are my very special applique scissors. then my really nice all purpose Fiskers for all around stuff in the sewing room. Then I have another 3 pair of different sizes of scissors for various sewing/quilting applications. Then you have your basic paper ones and a set in the kitchen. I probably have missed one or two pairs. So as you can see lots of scissors.
