Have you every been looking for a pen? Or Scissors? Or some other tool, vital for whatever you are trying to accomplish?
Blame @platespinner for this discussion. She implied to me that she had a few extra embroidery hoops in her cache of craft supplies.
Her next comment, was that she seemed to be missing her rotary cutter.
When cutting material for quilting projects a rotary cutter is my best friend. It seems over the years I might hav misplaced one or two necessitating the purchase of a new one and possibly a spare. It seems I might have inherited one as well.
Cleaning out ones sewing room turns up all sorts of interesting things that were missing.
I think I have a problem, the box where is store my rotary cutters seems to be full.

In the last two years I have thinned my cookbook collection and even my craft and quilting books. There must be something seriously wrong with me.

lol Yes I think this is a common issue with all of us no matter what our craft of choice is.

I have way too many crochet hooks for this very reasons.

Having a large selection of fabrics makes sense. I can only use one cuter at a time.

It is interesting the different things each of us are drawn to and as a result, collect.

I have a sewing can. Not much in it, because of my lack of sewing skills.

When there is a shortage of rotary cutters, we know that you are the person to call/blame!

@Morleyhunt what are you planning to do with all these rotary cutters?

You'll notice that about half are brand name and half are from the dollar store.

You do have a lot of these cutters! Here it is pens, we have such a stash of pens, pens and liquor. We won a prize of $1200 worth of liquor a few years ago at a party, and we don't tell anyone because we don't want our home broken into for that. We have told our son that when we die to bring some of that to the undertaker, he can embalm us with it-save some of his inheritance!

not too shabby a prize. My pen numbers go up and down. We need to go to the poultry show. There are usually lots of pens used as giveaways.1 person likes this

I have a couple of pencils. Whenever I need to use one, I need to find the pencil sharpener.

From the look of things in the photo I'd say you won't be running out of rotary cutters any time soon. With me it's pens. I have three mugs full of pens that don't work within easy reach. It seems they breed in the mugs. I keep throwing them away, and yet the mugs never get emptied out.

I also seem to have a large number of scissors...but the rotary cutters are what surprised me.

@MALUSE probably not. If I sell one, I will probably lose one...then I'd need to buy another.

I must be. I think my fabric stash is where the really hoarding issue becomes apparent.
