Guess I'll have to add patterns to my grey hair. If I live to be twice as old as Methusalah (sp?) I won't finish one-tenth of them.
Oh well, cheaper than a shrink.

Definitely dog hair and dust bunnies. 30 years ago I told my then-to-be husband that if he wanted to live with Susie Homemaker he should keep looking. He'd tell you for certain I wasn't kidding. :-)

I told mine I don't take orders well. We've been together 40 years now.

Normally I collect buttons, books and magazines. But have been known to purchase anything old and interesting looking, even if I don't know what it is!

I thought about this for a long time......dust bunnies, thread balls, bookmarked addresses, wide rears, chocolate wrappers, calloused finger, carpal tunnel (from the quilting board), laugh wrinkles from Ditter, and best of all: Friends!

My personal answer is thread. I lack organization so I tend to loose the thread I already have and end up buying a new spool, only to find the old one(s) later on.
