I sure knows how that goes, seems like the story of my life.
2 years ago i made an adorable locker-hooked snowman rug for my daughter who collects snowmen for christmas, of course around christmas time i could not find it anywhere, a whole year goes by another christmas approaching and still have not come across that dog-gone rug..i'm thinking someone walked off with it?!?....so, here we are in July of the 3rd year...and low and behold...I FOUND THE RUG!!!!YEA!!! we cleaned out the garage a week ago, and it was HOT so i did not go through some boxes in a cabnet out there figured i'd take them in one at a time and sort them in the evening...last night i carry in a box that has my son's name on it...hubby says, did you get that out of the rafters? (that's where Jeremy's stuff is stored) I tell him know, it was in that cabnet in the garage...going to see what's in it...well, along with the rug were other fabric scraps, a couple fabric bowls...a couple books...i guess for the past 2 1/2 years i never checked that box because it had Jeremy's name on it...that'll teach me...when i pack a box, change the writing on the box!!!

Well, it's reassuring to know there are others out there like me. I don't know how many times I've put something in a "logical" or "safe" place, but the minute I turn around it's right out of my head...hopefully to be found again someday. :D

Unlike most of our fellow message board readers, I'm not so sure the muslin will turn up. I think it went to that Great Warehouse For Lost Items, probably stored right next to the Ark of the Covenant. It's been 3 years since I last saw my big stack of photos I took of Arlington Cemetery right after 9-11. Probably in the Great Warehouse, too.
