I lose things all the time. I recently "lost" all my blocks for a Saturday Sampler. Duh, they were on my design board! Right before my very eyes!!

My favorite is when I put something in a safe place. Still looking for some of my safe places.

After the last time I lost something, I deceided to start a "safe place" notebook. So when I put something in a safe place I jot it down. Now if I can just remember where I put the notebook...

That's been my experience! A few months' ago, I "lost" every stitch ripper thingy I owned. Searched all over. We all know that we can't live without this gismo, so I hiked myself to my neighborhood Hobby Lobby, bought one, and when I got home... You guessed it, I found 3 of them just where they were supposed to be!! I know they jumped out of that box and hid just to confuse me!

This happens to me every time I travel. I put things in my sewing room 'away' for 'safekeeping', and to clean up the room for the petsitter who comes in...months later I will find things I stashed. I drive me crazy!

I have done that with non sewing related things. Can't for the life of me find them.

Finding the lost can sometimes be frustrating...and funny. Last weekend my DH was searching for "something". After several minutes I finally asked "What. are. you. looking. for?" (In a very loud voice). "My glasses" he says. I said "Stop looking....you're wearing them."

Heavens!! How big are your chip bags over there?

I guess I go straight to 'single serve' size; there's only me and I just wouldn't be able to trust myself to stop.

Nativetexan, 'I always find things the last place I look' ............ I just love some of the things we all say. Why would you carry on looking after you find something?

Even though I am a little OCD and have a tidy sewing room...I misplaced my 9mm stitch plate to my Bernina and had to purchase a new one before I could do anything other than a straight stitch. Luckily I had another machine I could use in the meanwhile but I mean I looked everywhere before I pulled out my credit card for a new one.
