Scissors and Bonbons

I was quietly quilting along when I noticed these.

Isn't she cute?

Lovely bird brain aka stork scissors.

Just how many scissors do I need to complete one quilt? Apparently, three - and they all blend in so at times, it's hard to find one.

 These are how I am using those little Lion Brand Bonbons.

My favourite colour is the turquoise but they are all nice and bright. 
Sorry I can't show you what the end result will look like since they are to be a surprise.

It's nice to have different projects on the go. The knitting is done while watching TV and the quilting is being done as someone reads me a book on tape. Multi-tasking at its most creative.

I hope you all have a safe, creative weekend.

    Definitely a multi-tasker here too. I can't stand sitting in front of the tv and not having anything to do (there's so little on tv that's remotely worth actually watching).

    I'm also a multi-tasker! I rarely watch tv without knitting or crocheting. Creative weekend to you, too!

    Love your knitting! Can't wait to see it finished. Mine is done. I would have had it finished earlier, but I had to go up to Walmart for another ball of white yarn because I ran out of it just 8 rows before finishing.

    I like lots of scissors too, the matching ones are Mundial, with a lifetime warranty. However I have had one pair replaced . Do love your knitting on the go too. Cheers, Jean.

    The fairy scissors and bird scissors look enchanting; the pink and green ones look a little more practical. I love audio books and podcasts when I'm working on a project.

    You go for cute scissors; useful and humorous. The candy colors are fun; looks like nice projects. Enjoy the weekend.

    I always listen to audio books while I sew. I also listen to BBC Radio 4 Extra on my laptop. They serialize books over a week or longer. They do a lot of murder mysteries and the classics.

    Hi Dolores,

    I too am a multi tasker - while watching TV there is always knitting, ironing or something to do.
    The scissors are really lovely.
    Happy Sunday
