Taking the long bath sounds good to me. There's just something soothing and meditative, etc. about water. I remember so many things when I'm showering...don't know why. I'm one of those people with racing thoughts and have trouble just focusing on one thing. Like I say, try a long bath or shower. Just relax. If it doesn't come to you. Buy a replacement present. If you find the angels in time, you'll have a gift for her next birthday or give her both...she'll love you for it. Good Luck.

St. Anthony, St. Anthony,
Please come around.
Something is lost,
and must be found!

This was the last item left on my list and I am so sad now.

There must be a gremlin loose at this time of year. I bought a replacement spool of brown thread for the stash and a spool of lime green thread for matching nightgowns and pj's for my granddaughters and their dolls, which are to be for Christmas. Also, a new tape measure for my daughter as she is still using a cotton one that is no longer accurate! (Sort of goes with the underwear and socks giggle--something she needs but not very exciting.) Can't find those items anywhere. I finally found a spool of acceptable lime green in the stash and finished the project with less than 12" of thread on that spool! Get Grandma another gift, relax and then make the angels into something for her birthday. Hopefully they will come out of hiding by then.

I'd make a picture of angels, give to her with a note that the actual item will arrive in the future. She'll still have a gift to unwrap and open. After the Holidays settle down, you'll probably find them hiding in an unsuspected place.
