LOL, this is me. I can stand in one spot and lose something I was using a minute ago. It's like my hands hide it from me. Lord.

I can't blame the kids - they've already moved out! Maybe I DO have a gremlin, too!

Between the gremlins that inhabit my sewing room and my mind that seems to get lost every now and again, I have lost, repurchased, then found LOTS of things!! Glad I'm not the only one!!

The one thing I haven't found since I moved out to my sewing room is my pinking shears. I'm not buying another pair as I know they were on my table the day before I started to move. They were given to me by a friend. They were her mother's. I'm confident they will turn up.

I use the T-touch and label all drawers etc. as to what is in them. It works for me.

Today, I plan to gather all my novelty fabric and put it in one container. I know I did this once or twice before but I keep finding fabric in the wrong places. Does that happen to any of you?

Unless I have the project out until it is finished, I am always wasting time looking for stuff.Of course, this gets labelled by others as 'lazy, dirty or untidy'...one can't win.
