Autumn in the park in Karlsruhe
Do you ever have something to turn inside out?
Then get immediately in touch with your surgeon
if you know any (hopefully not)
a mother of a doctor (in my case) or with a nurse and
ask her for these kind of scissors -
But these are no scissors to cut fabrics or paper - no, no - they are
nippers and you can pinch something with them. I hope I got
the name right.
They pinched and held many times - I don't want to imagine what
when they were in the hand of a surgeon in their former life
Look at the little hook at the tip - it can very well hold fabric
when you have to turn narrow things - here I use them to
create a new dottie doll. You go inside the sewn shape,
grap a little bit of the fabric and pull and there it is - turned in a second.
I turned the little house, too, which I copied from
Kim Kruzich - I found it on Pinterest - pattern
A new pin cushion? Or what? Or for the drawer?
For a door knob? Or for the cat to play with.... there is a bird at the bottom.
Some day an occasion will turn up to give it away.
That is very hand anneliese, i have some but without the little hook. Mine just has serrated sides on the tips that lock together to hold blood vessels..i think they are called clamps but i think they might do the same thing i will have to try . Thank you for the hint....by the way i bought mine new from a chemist so no blood has been on them:-):-):-)
ReplyDeletewhat a beautiful autumn tree you have shared with us. Must ask Helen about those scissors but do not think she has any shame! Such a cute house, far too nice to stick pins in or for cats to claw at but a door handle would be a fine place to hang it
ReplyDeleteThat is a neat tool! I wonder what it has turned inside out before your dolls and houses! By the way the doll and house look nice!
ReplyDeleteI would say a door knob, or a cupboard knob, where you can see it all the time :-)
ReplyDeletexx
such sweet little turned things. i think what you used to turn we call a hemostat. i have one that i used to use when making dolls.it does come in handy.
ReplyDeletewhat a great tool!
ReplyDeleteI have something similar, they are called 'Spencer-Wells forceps'.
ReplyDeleteMy first job as a trained nurse was on a medical ward and the Sister there, took me to one side and said, take these,always have them in your pocket, they are so useful.
The years went by and I forgot to put them in my pocket but, discovered other things outside of nursing that they were useful for - like turning things out, gripping and pulling rawl plugs from the wall (the plugs that help the screws get a 'bite' into the wall), grabbing something from the back of the sofa etc etc. If I ever lose them, I'll be lost without them lol!
So nice little things.
ReplyDeleteOh ja, so ein Werkzeug kann eine echte Hilfe sein. Ich selbst habe leider keines.
