I have the same mean fairy in my sewing room. My favorite thread snips disappeared for a long time. I figured when I bought the replacement pair they would reappear. NOPE. They did reappear in a weird place several months after that. My tape measure and several other things have vanished too. Some reappear, some don't. I think somethings the sewing fairies are hungry and eat them!

Or second question, who would be so mean to hide my favorite tools? I have a feeling it's my alter ego. Tonight gonna do a search and recover and see if I can relocate this stuff and see what other treasures are trying to escape. Doing this takes time away from by sewing but guess it just has to be done.

Same thing happens with my glasses and the tv remote. The phone rings, and they wind up next to it. If only I'd remember that every time I can't find something. Or in the freezer or fridge. Always in the LEAST likely place.

I lost a small cutting template last summer. I knew it was somewhere, but heck it took me 7 months to find it. Some how my template found it's own hiding place in a charm pack that I used last week. Now I have 2 of the same templates.

I still haven't found a new brown skirt I bought over 8 yrs ago. I bought it then hung it up in a closet and when I went to wear it to church the following Sunday it was gone. Still haven't found it. It wouldn't fit me now.

If I get up from sewing to go do a load of laundry or answer the phone, I usually take something from my sewing room with me and leave it in the darnedest places and never find them for months. At least not until I re buy whatever it was that I lost!
