Nearly forgot to show off this month's TUSAL - Here it is, you can see the itty bitty bit of halloween fabric sitting near the top - there doesnt' appear to be more than normal in there, I don't feel that I have stitched so much at all this month.
I'm also showing off my current WIP (well one of them in any case..) Bluebird Sampler by Bent Creek. Perhaps I'm feeling obligated to stitch it which is why I'm not feeling so enthused to finish it - but once this is done I'll need to find the fabric to stitch the brown and blackbird samplers that match it.
The rotary cutters??
I had made the frantic search for RC 1 or 2 during the month - could not locate either of them anywhere. I eventually bought a smaller, cheaper one - red RC 3, knowing that if I was ever to open it, I would magically be transported to where I had carefully stashed either RC 1 or RC2.
Yep. I made myself some summer bloomers yesterday and having broken my good dressmaking scissors, opened the RC 3 packet to cut the fabric out. I quickly stitched up the bloomers (great for summer when you've got thunder thighs!). I found my old stash of elastic for the waist band and went looking for a safety pin to thread the elastic through the waistband........... lo and behold - THERE is RC 1 !!!!! In a box of bits that I know that I looked through during my search for them...... grrrrr.
Murphy's law strikes again!!!!
If I'm looking for them again - please remind me that I've put them in the blue sewing box on wheels - will you????

I've done just that sort of thing more times than I can remember. I'll be of no use helping you remember but perhaps you will remember you wrote it in your blog!
Great progress on your TUSAL! Well...you can never have too many cutters..right?
Love the BC too.
I did the same thing not too long ago with my large fabric scissors. Thought I had LOST my mind...yup, finally found the first pair last night! LOL Oh well, you can never have enough,right?
Don't you just hate it when that happens GGGGRRRR!!!! Bluebird Sampler is looking great, I have all the bird samplers in my stash for 'one day'.
Isn't that the way? Happens all the time...more so when you're menopausal! LOL!!
