Sewing Needles
Do you have some things you keep buying because you think you need them when in fact you don't? Like small items you think you don't have any of at home, at least you couldn't find any when you needed them just yesterday -- and then you get home with the new batch only to discover that you do have tons of them, you were just looking in the wrong place?
No? Might just be me then.
With me it's sewing needles, or sewing kits. I didn't even recognize the pattern until this week, but it's been like this for years. I'll be out shopping for things and in one of the stores where they sell all sorts of minor things I'll find a sewing kit, or a sheet of sewing needles, and I'll go "sewing needles, and thread, I need that!" and then I'll buy them. Only to realize when I get home that I have tons of them already. Or, sometimes, I'll actually need a sewing kit, and not be able to find any needles or thread at home, and so I'll go out and buy some -- only to come back home and realize I wasn't looking in the right place, and I have tons already.
And, and this is the annoying part, still when I need a sewing needle I can't find one.
I mention this now because I'm going to another Summer LARP next week, and am sewing a new costume for myself. (I like sewing my own costumes, and I always sew them by hand... partly because I don't have a sewing machine and partly because hand-stitched costumes are just that much more authentic, especially when the LARP is medieval-fantasy.)
Oh well, at least I have needles enough for now!
