I still haven't found my bus pass. I thought the borrowers were a story, from this thread it looks as if they really exist.
If you were moving rooms , I would have scooped up all the loose items on tables etc or with machines into a bag, basket or box to take to their new home or I would have put on a windowsill or other staying pu place in the old one. Have you looked in the old place, the fridge handbag etc.

nhweaver, one more thought on your missing walking foot: If you're the one who hid that foot, the subconscious part of your brain knows exactly where you put it. One thing worth trying is to have a nice little talk with the inner you just before you fall asleep. Visualize that foot and how nice it would be to use it again and maybe when you wake up you will find that your brain solved the problem while you slept. This sounds funny but is based on scientific research about how the brain works. If your eyes saw the last place that foot went, the information is stored inside your head somewhere. I've this experience several times, but the science behind it was explained for me recently in a fascinating book by Temple Grandin, Animals in Translation.

Well, I started this thread and it sounds like I am in good company with all of us and the gremlins. DH decided that he is going to paint (finally) my sewing studio, and I started emptying my fat quarter bins. Guess what I found!! You got it, my walking foot. I got a tupperware container that has compartments, and I guess I thought it would be a perfect place to put all the "extra" feet. Glad I have it, may the gremlins be gentle with all of us.

Drat those grimlins!!!! Hope you have found it by now. Otherwise, back yourself out of the room and come back in exactly as you did when you set it up. Might jar your memory. Here at our house we have a black hole that things disappear into. Its quite agravating
