I have opened every drawer and cabinet door in my house. I have emptied every thing I take to class. I have double checked the class rooms where I teach. I have even looked in the fridge and freezer. I have checked the weaving room and my guest room. I have moved every thing in my sewing on the shelves and tables. I have finally decided that I dreamed that I had this pincushion, even though I remember making it, and my students all remember seeing it last week! Okay. I have moved another pincushion to my sewing machine and have taken one off the shelf in the hall to the desk. I give up. So maybe it will come out of hiding now!
