I'm so glad to find I'm not on my own. I usually do find things but, I lost a bottle of craft glue which I haven't found, despite buying a glue gun and completely cleaning and rearranging all my quilting & embroidery stuff.
Guess the gremlins really got that.

Oh yes indeed. I have several sets of everything and amazing how they disappear and then turn up again in unexpected places.

I wonder if the Gremlin is like Santa Claus visiting each house or if there are a bunch of them b/c I sure have one too :D

I often have a gremlin (or something) hide things from me. If it is the telephone,(which happens often) all I need to do is call the # on my cell, and the ring will at least lead me in the right direction....but the real mystery was my lost coffee cup. The onery little guy hid it in the linen closet...........behind a pile of sheets I had washed and folded the week before. Oh yeah, I have Gremlins!!

I lose things all the time. I hate wasting time looking for something. After searching forever to find something, I call my little friend Karsyn, who lives next to me. She will come over and find it in three minutes. I love that kid.
I have, and I'm not lying, about 12 pairs of glasses in my sewing room alone. More all around the house and I still have to look for them. I buy the glasses at the dollar store every time I go.

I had lost a pincushion near the chair where I sew. I assumed it had fallen in the garbage can and was long gone. After about 2 weeks, it suddenly reappeared exactly where I had been looking for it... yep I have gremlins too!

Yes, I have them too. My Gremlins are named Miles, Marcus, & Mackenzie. lol I've lost so many things, mostly scissors, that I keep them in a tub and strictly ban them from using them. They seem to think it's ok to use them when I have them out though. I absolutely refuse to let them use my fabric scissors on paper!!!

Everyone blames me because I tend to be a bit messy.

But it's not always ME that misplaces things.

I HAVE GREMLINS! I found my scissors in my purse. Okay, I confess I forgot I had put them in there. At least an hour of cutting time lost. :shock:

No gremlins at our house, but do you remember the flying monkeys from the Wizard of Oz? Yep, they live here. Even the cats are scared of them. We never knew our house had so many hiding places before the monkeys got here.
