I, too, lost one of my quilting gloves. I had just cleaned and reorganized the entire sewing room so knew it wasn't anywhere in sight. I was right.........it had fallen behind my sewing cabinet, which was too heavy to move and was sitting on the floor molding behind it. Had to use a yard stick to scoot it out where I could reach it. Ugh. I have done many of the things mentioned above and some days seem to spend as much time looking for things I just had, than sewing.
