    Oh Yes. Have lost my favorite foot for my machine. Took it off to use the 1/4 foot and now I can't find the other one. Have torn the room apart and nothing. Must have fallen in the trash pail on the floor.

    I am trying so hard to keep organized, it is hard and I would rather spend my time quilting or sewing. Good luck finding your blades.

    Amen! I'm always afraid to buy it cause I know the same or next day I will find it.

    Right now I am looking for a tin of wooden toothpicks I bought at Cracker Barrel for needle turn applique and a pair of tweezers.

    I have an idea -why doesn't everybody get a large box and make a label for it reading "SAFE PLACE" ! put all your stuff you want to be safe BUT remember where it is in that box ???? Then you would KNOw where the SAFE PLACE was at all times unless you clean and move the SAFE PLACE box to a safer place.... lol! I always find my stuff in the LAST PLACE I LOOKED. WHY cant it ever be in the FIRST place ???? IS that MURPHY working again???
    Right now I am looking for 4 DVD's that walked away the last time I cleaned. I am almost to the point of NOT cleaning my sewing room, straightening maybe !!!!

    Are you kidding? Sometimes I do not move from my sewing table and I can't find anything: seam ripper, short ruler, scissors, etc. I don't know where they go. I take a break, go to the bathroom and they are in clear view when I come back. Go figure!

    I've revamped my sewing room with pegboard.. it's done wonders for me.

    I still have yet to find my Purple Thang that has been missing since before the pegboard.
    :(

    However, I refuse to buy another one because I just KNOW it is here... somewhere. :(

    All the time, then I decide to "clean" .....sometimes I find what I'm looking for but then sometimes I don't, but my sewing room is somewhat "clean"!
