I can relate! I have a bow tuck bag to make for a friend. {she is giving it as a gift} I got started yesterday morning, and I could not find my pattern! I was so aggravated! I finally found it late in the day.....on my computer table!!! right on top!!!!! Guess I should have been here looking at the board... I might have looked over and saw it laying there! {less than 12" from the mouse}
