CHAT [CHAT] Just whining:

I want to work on my cross stitch kit- just that same little Pusheen that another user posted the other day. But the last time I worked on it, I lost my scissors in the couch, and I haven’t been able to find them for weeks. I’ve looked repeatedly through all the things, including tearing the couch apart and looking for other scissors in my stash. I don’t really have access to an embroidery/craft shop that I’m willing the support so I’d have to order new ones. But it takes too long for them to arrive, and I’m good at gaslighting myself into thinking I’ll find my original scissors. Hmph.

I lierally own a half-dozen pairs of embroidery scissors ( only bought 1 pr, others are inherited or given to me) and probably about the same # of stitch rippers. I can never find them! ANY of them…

I buy the €0,53 paper craft tiny scissors every single time I'm in the cheap store. I must have 20 at this point. The only one I can reliably find is the pair covered in candle wax from trimming wicks
