Hello people. I have a sweatshirt on again! It should warm as the day progresses so I will try to enjoy outdoors as much as I can. Some of us have already changed over to a dull wintry gray, but some of us youngins' won't give in!
I only have a few more stitches before I am finished with this page and on to the bottom half. My progress...
My little cheap plastic snips have become my scissor of choice. With enlarged joints and an arthritic thumb, not struggling to remove them from the loops is great. I know some are made for big girl joints, but these are a joy to use.
Years ago I watched Nancy Zieman's show and she always had Gingher's nippers with the loop in her hand. Haven't seen them offered in years but I checked Amazon and voilà!
I found it and ordered. The loop is to slip on the ring finger which allows you to hold the snips in hand while sewing at the machine and always have them ready. Wal-Mart also has them online - Gingher nippers - $14.33. You probably already have them, have seen them, don't like them, or don't care. But I thought I would mention it anyway.
I had one hell of a day yesterday in my lost and found department but relaying the details would be a long post, so I'll hold it for another day.
Nitzy still eating from the wrong side, and the lovers still necking.
Enjoy your day!
Thanks for visiting.

Those little snips look like they would be so handy at the sewing machine. I am always scrambling for my scissors when I am sewing. Thanks for the info. Love the cats.
The sampler is coming along beautifully.
I really love the sampler! I hadn't heard of those nippers. They do look useful. Have to take a look now. Thanks!
Aww sweet sampler..
Very cute pictures :)

Oh such a handsome guy! is the girl interested???
Sampler is lovely Marly, the scissors are wonderful, I have not seen these these yet, thanks for showing, Amazon will have a visitor soon.
It's hot here for a change, might be coming your way soon!
Take care!
Hi Marly, love the sampler, coming along great....love the picture of the deer and kissing kitty's, Blessings Francine.
Love that sampler! It is coming along so nicely. You are a much faster stitcher than me! I take forever.... stitching one day, then not for another couple of days, then go like gang-busters for a few, then stopping again..... Sheesh... I've got to get it together!
I don't sew on the machine, but those nippers do look handy!
Cute kitty cats! Poor Nitzy just not getting the hang of where to eat.... and the kissing kitties are too cute!
Lovely critter pictures and your stitching beautiful as always.
I love the sampler and the autumnal hue. good stitch!
Gorgeous sampler progress. I am looking forward to sweatshirt weather. How is the house coming along?
Your comments about your cats behavior just cracks me up.
Finally catching up on a month's worth of blog posts--it sure looks like August was a crappy month for you, too, Marly. I'm so sorry to read about the old man hitting your car--how quickly our lives can change. Are you still feeling pain?
I think your floors turned out great and your newest project is coming along beautifully--nice color changes. When I first read the title of this post, I thought it said "Nipples vs. Scissors." Now that would have been quite the post, I'm sure :)
Take care now--and enjoy your weekend with your kitties...
