These are either very wide tape measures or they are not calibrated in inches.

They're metric. So millimetres and centimetres. Hugs pixi!

Thanks, Taffi. Thought that might be it.

I have several sewing tapes, in different lengths clear up to 120 inches-all of them have the metric on the other side, sometimes it is easier to use the metric when doing quilts, also have several colors!
These are kind of different from the tape measures I remember as a kid - yellow and the numbers read sideways. Perhaps it's because of the way the tape measures are lined up, but, would the half inch mark at the 5 be 4 1/2" or 5 1/2"? Without seeing the end of the tape measure, can anyone be sure?
I guess I'm not with it yet this morning. I thought it was a hard one to put together. I enjoyed doing it though. I've never seen this color tape before. Mine have always been black and white or black and yellow but who cares as long as they measure.
I have so much to do today and really don't feel like doing anything. I have all my bills to pay such as gas, lights, etc. etc. etc. then I have to get license plates for my car and pay my property tax, get groceries and get a blood check at the hospital clinic. Need to get my hair cut. It is so frizzy it's pathetic. Maybe all the rain we've had caused it. Right now my bed isn't made so I may just go back and jump in and forget running around.
Have a good day and God bless you all.
I'm tired just thinking about all that YOU have to do today.:-)
Looking back over the years and wondering if I would EVER have a moment to myself....well, I now have time and it's not all it's cracked up to be. LOL I have 8 kids, all grown up, now. But I remember when the first 7 were all teenagers at the same time (twins in the middle), and the 8th one was 8 yrs old at the time. It was a TRIP! Somebody always needed SOMETHING. Then, at the age of 40, I went to work as a secretary at our high school. That was an eye-opener, believe me. My own seemed like angels compared to a few that I dealt with.

I did all my running around on Wednesday. Still need to go to the store for small things I either forgot or they were out of things. I need to get my hair cut also. It is way too long. If I gave you a list of my to-do's would you please help Me? I need all the help I can get right now. Next week-end there is no school.So ready for a break, even if it is for two days.

I've seen many kinds of tape measures. Haven't seen the pink and blue ones. Have even seen them on a reel. My father had one in his office for his work
Hope your day is a perfect fit.
