    Missing

    Where do things dissappear to. I had almost a whole shoe box of 3 1/2" tumbler blocks cut out. Now I can not find them anywhere. I really do not want to tear up the sewing room, but this is going to drive me nuts.

    They are probably with a rotary cutter I "lost" about 20 years ago. Still makes me nuts that it never re-appeared. It's not like I would have ever had a reason to take it out of the house.
    I call this place where "stuff" goes "the land of the lost". Somedays I think I am there too!

    If it makes you feel any better I lost a 7 yd piece of fabric (someone else's - luckily I was able to replace it) and still haven't found it. That was about 4 years ago - it is very well hidden

    Well I can tell you where all those 'missing' things are-Theres an island out in the Bermuda Triangle and its made out of all those missing things and all the stuff we put in a safe places we never find again.For the life of me I can't understand WHY this island doesn't show up on radar-sonar or even on satellite imaging. It has to be as big as the United States by now...

    I must be related to your Mom! I have worn glasses most of my life and never "lost" a pair. Six months ago, I swear, the glasses went into the dark hole. Finally bought a new pair. Many clean outs and a couple of furniture moving/cleaning day have not uncovered the glasses. After hearing your story, I am handing the search over to my kids after I die! I officially give up. LOL
