I'm really strict with my wife. He he.

That made my day a whole lot better, especially since so many online are (and rightly so) against using shears for paper cutting!

So lets see here, one post was irons......the next was thimbles......this one was shears......can't wait for the next post! (Wonder if it is going to be needles?)

Hmm, don't leave them sticking into the leather sofa?

Schneiderfrei, do you have a speckled seat?

So that's how they get that styling in couches, now I understand.

Something funny with the original cartoon at the top, some years ago I bought a pair of 14 inch shears from an elderly lady who had retired from a lifetime of tailoring and to organise the purchase, payment and delivery, I had to deal with her siblings as the elderly lady was not of the internet generation. The son told me that when they were kids, they were absolutely forbidden to enter her workshop or ever touch anything that she used.

I eventually passed them on to another elderly tailor as they were made in the early 1950s where my collection is only pre ww2 and earlier Wiss and Heinisch shears.

I missed this one somehow. Oh, how I needed that laugh. Thank you!
