OK, now I know I am going crazy.

I get it about people losing a package of rotary cutter blades or whatever in their sewing room.
I got a really nice small oval quilting hoop, about 18" long, about a month ago at a free swap place. I know it was small because I also got a large one,24", the size I usually hand quilt on. I thought, GREAT, this will be perfect for wall quilts.
So I got a customer's wall quilt that I need to quilt, do you think I can find that small hoop? NO - I tore apart the sewing room, found I have FOUR large oval hoops and 3 round ones, no sign of the one I want. Looked under and behind all the furniture, looked everywhere I could think of. We are talking about a 4 room, 700 sq. ft. house, not like there are a lot of places it could hide.
I am convinced that Emily, our resident spirit, is hiding it on me. She is rather mischievous.

I had a similar experience but not with a quilting hoop. My daughter gave me a cook book for Christmas.....shortly after Christmas I moved from the midwest to Ga; when I finally got my apartment and things sorted I got to looking for THAT cook book.....looked everywhere, went through everything.....called relatives whom I had been staying with until apt ready, nope, they hadn't seen it.
I thought I too had lost my mind. Finally confessed to daughter that I had lost the Christmas cookbook, which I named......her reply was, Mom, I didn't give you that book I gave you thus and so......oh.....the book that she had given me was sitting in my cookbook "rack" opened to a page that I had been using........In my mind I was absolutely sure she had given me another book..........

No, no cat or dog. I have asked Emily nicely to bring it back. Maybe I will just give up and have the sewing room lined with foam rubber and have myself locked in....
