What became of the needle I had in my hand
When I picked up the spool to thread it?
It seems to have vanished into thin air
But that explanation I can't credit.

How does my thimble disappear
From the basket where it was laid?
I haven't heard it rolling 'round on the floor
As it did when the cats with it played.

What did I do with that fabric I need
That I had just an hour ago?
I put it away, but in what place?
It's somewhere that it doesn't show.

The magazine with the pattern I liked
Was right on top of that pile.
I guess it's sunk, but how far down
In such a little while?

I know that book went back on its shelf
And should be with books of its kind.
But I just can't find it, though I've looked five times.
Can it be that I'm going blind?

It's a very good thing that my sewing machine
Is something that's too big to hide.
Not being able to find something as big as that
Would really humble my pride.

I don't know why things I know that I had
Disappear when I put them away..
I find it annoying but I very much fear
It's a problem that's her to stay.

Oh, how I can relate to that! :roll:

Welcome back, debbie!!! We missed you!

Oh, Dear God, they are talking about me!!

Deb, Seems your sense of humor is still working!

Gald you are back Deb, I think you are talking about me. I just put things away to good. Then find them when I don't need them.

love the poem

Yup, that's me! I put stuff in a "safe place" but it's only safe from me! :lol:

Ain't that the truth!!!

believe it or not.... i misplaced my sewing machine. well, sort of. in one of my moves, it was not labeled anything having to do with sewing or crafts and got put in the holiday dec closet. LOL

Oops. So funny. I had one lost in my sewing room, buried very deeply in fabrics and stayed there until NP3 and GrammaMo came to visit from California. I was happy to see her again. I think a few of us can relate. I put things where I will remember where they are.....really ??????? Not.♥♥

Hi everyone. I have been here all along, just in my PDA. People forget we have there to go too. Glad you missed me though. LOL. HUGS♥♥

I LOVE it

Boy, isn't that the truth. Debbie, once again you are right on..LOL

Love it!!!

Thank you.
