Default Can’t find my clean and oil kit

I bought a nice clean and oil kit. Used it once. Now that it’s time to give my little friend some love, I can’t find it anywhere. My sewing room isn’t too bad of a mess but I can’t find it anywhere. Have looked a few times. Love my little 220 Singer. Good grief!

I make myself frustrated by not finding things I know I have or just used! I want a cctv camera in my sewing room so I could watch myself lose things.

Might try looking in your "safe place"

I put so many things in my safe place, that it must be crammed full by now....if only I could find it.....

The way I find lost things is to go buy a new one. Guaranteed to work

Oh thank you, you just reminded me that my vitamins are still in my bathrobe and it's after lunch time now! Hope you find your missing items!

mmunchkins is absolutely right!

I know it seems counterintuitive, but if I tidy my workspace too much, I have to look for things to figure out where they were put. There isn't much storage space, so finding a dedicated place is difficult. Leaving some things on my cutting table to near my sewing machine is actually more efficient, even if it looks messy.

Maybe it's with your extra feet?
