Sometimes we have to be careful in our sewing room...
I know I am a little clumsy, and I am known to drop things. I dropped a thread snipper by accident, and it landed on my floor like this.
I was quite happy that the snipper didn't fall right onto my foot. I wear a pair of sandals in the house, but this could have ended up on the top side of my foot. Since then, I am extra careful with my snippers or awl or any other pointy tools I use when I sew.
