I think it happens to all of us at some point in time. I bought a few panels a few months ago. When I looked for them to plan on what to do with them I could not find them anywhere. I finally decided I really hadn't bought them just thought I did because I liked them but really didn't NEED them. A friend bought me another set while on a shopping trip togather and barely a day later, guess what I found?

I know the feeling...I bought about 10 1/4 yard pieces of fabric about a year ago...I remember bringing the bag into the house and sitting it in a chair in the living room. When I went to get it, it wasn't there. I have been looking for it ever since. Even checked with the store I bought it from to see if I left it there. They said no. Finally resolved that it is not to be found. ?????

I've done that and finally found it when I cleaned the room up.

Done it too. Right now I am missing my 9.5 inch square ruler.

This makes me feel so stumped and at a loss to how in the world did it just disappear. No one has been in the sewing room but me in weeks. I was all set to start making the pattern, I guess I will be deep cleaning my sewing room instead. :-(

Deep cleaning...isn't that illegal??? :-)

Most of the time I'll find it.

I find that I'm doing that with words lately. I'll read a sentence and my mind just sort of fills in the spaces and when it dawns on me that it doesn't make any sense I go back and re-read and it's not even close to what I thought it said. :roll:

Haven't found them yet? Still don't know where the pillows are, either.

At 5pm DH says, "I think I locked my keys in the garage."

"Ya look in the truck?" says I.

"They're not in the truck!" says he.

Says he at 6pm, after touring the garage, "I can't find my keys, did I leave them in here?" We don't see the keys. I don't mention truck.

7pm, DH leaves watching the TV news, goes outside, comes back,
"They were in the truck--I put the ignition key in to shut the windows."

And so it goes around the world and back again.

Please come around.
Something is lost
And must be found.

I'm not Catholic, and I mean no disrespect, but awhile ago on this board someone posted something similar, it was...Tony, Tony, do your stuff. I've looked and looked. I had enough! ... I have actually had success with this!!! :thumbup:
