When I put something down on my sewing table, it can disappear in a nanosecond. When you know you have a certain item, extra blades, extra needles, etc., they will always show up after you bought new ones. When making a project, and you run out of the border fabric, more fabric will show up after finishing the item and deciding not to put a border on either end. Case in point, this just happened to me this morning, but since I had already finished quilting the item, it will stay that way. My DIL was thrilled with the dresser scarf that I'd made for our DGD, so that was a good thing, she just appreciates what I make for her, and that's why I don't mind making things for her and my DS, or DGD.

Whenever I am upstairs, what I need is downstairs. Whenever I am downstairs, what I need is upstairs. I have a sewing room but my family knows there are scissors and other items there so they "borrow" them and leave them all around the house.

Lots of funnies here! Mine is... when you're working on a boring project nobody calls to invite you out for the day or dinner....BUT.... sure as anything when you're enjoying a project... (I'm trying to finish off my fatcatpatterns penguins)...yup... a walking invitation which I accepted & enjoyed....back to the machine....yikes...now a dinner invitation....which of course I also accepted... the penguins will wait (I hope)... but then tomorrow I hike....etc. etc. It's a good thing I don't live alone or I'm pretty sure I'd never leave my sewing room!
