Remember when I was talking about not being able to find my ONE perfect thimble?  How I put it away in one of those safe places that odds are I would never find it again?

Picture me jumping up and down–literally. When I was plowing through a drawer of silk ribbons yesterday……there it was!  Hallelujah and a happy dance thrown in for good measure.  Why in the heck did I think putting this in with my silk ribbons was a “safe place” and I would be able to easily locate it again?  Scary. 

Seriously, this is the only thimble that ever worked for me and was the perfect size.  I bought a second one, the same company, same size, but it didn’t fit the same.  I have never been able to find a thimble that fit so magically like this one. It fits like a custom made glove.  This humble thimble wasn’t expensive, not made of sterling silver and very utilitarian, but it Fits and does the job like a champ.

I think I will keep it in my scissors case from now on so I will see it every day.   I want to do some hand quilting again, and I absolutely must have this thimble.

Now if I could only find where I put my colored pencils.  I hid them from my kids in a (say it with me) safe place.  Now they are safe from me too.
