Vicki-that's probably how I'll always think of it! lol

Oh, that sounds like something I would do.

See thats what you get for being to neat :lol: I would have been sick. Thankfully you found it :!:

Always happens, the one time you decide to do something right. One night at work, (hospital) I had one very hard patient that I pretty much spent all night in his room. As we were charting a nurse asked me if my ring was supposed to look like it did, or was something wrong with it? It looked like a tooth was missing, the middle diamand and setting were gone. We spent the next hour changing the man's bed, dusting his floors, going through the garbage. Still couldn't find the darn thing. I remembered that we had ordered a pizza for break and I had gone in my purse to get money to pay for my share. When I opened my purse there it was laying on the bottom. My husband teased me and said I was trying to get a bigger diamond, my original ring had 5 diamond chips in settings to make them look bigger. Several years later I did get a bigger diamond in my ring for our 20th wedding anniversary. The poor patient properly wondered why he was turned so much and had his bed made twice in one shift when he didn't soil the sheets.............

I'm sooo relieved that most of the stories here have happy endings! I also was glad to have the chuckle for the day...and I thought I was the queen of this kind of thing....

Glad it worked out for you...and I looked at bighorn at their cow fabric and I like it! I hadn't seen it before and I like cows.

When my mother & dad moved to the farm, she packed a bunch of Tupperware in a black garbage bag and you can guess where it all ended up. Luckily I was selling at the time and could replace it all for cost. I always check the garbage before it goes out the door. I have had to go thru it too many times. Here's what I do. When I buy something like fabric or especially small stuff, I take a tote bag and put the items in it till I get home. That way I'm sure where it is. That's what you call sweating bullets. Glad you found it.

Don't feel bad. I did the same thing. Only with Buttons. I was cleaning my sewingroom the day after I had bought these one of a kind buttons that a 9year old girl made by hand . Well you got the idea but I did not know until 3 days later and the trash had been picked up. No buttons. :cry: :cry: :cry:

Stupid garbage. lol I'm so glad that you found your fabric. Wouldn't it be nice to be able to keep it a secert?

It's not like you're the only one that's done that. I had a bag of items I purchased. I usually use those plastic bags as garbage bags for my car.

Only I had an envelope of money from the bank machine. Something like a hundred bucks that I carelessly threw in the garbage bag too and threw it in the trash.

It wasn't until I got in a store and needed it to buy something did I realize what happened and went back to the trash can to get it.

I was lucky to get my bag with the money back.

hey it has a good ring to it :) And the story to go with it is great!
