Similar story. I bought 2 new seam rippers, and I knew they made it into a bag and into my grocery cart when I checked out. Hunted for them on and off for 2 days. Finally, I lifted a pile of scraps up. Underneath the scraps was a plastic shopping bag with - yup - the two seam rippers.

I keep seam rippers, measuring gauges, brushes for my machines and two of those extendable magnet gizmos in a coffee mug. When the mug begins to look rather empty I conduct a search and fill it back up again. That way I stand a chance of finding what I need most of the time.

Many times I have had to look for my glasses. I look and look and when I find them I put them on and think "good, now I can see better to find what I'm looking for!". I continue to search until I realize I've forgotten what I'm looking for! (Which of course is my glasses! ).

More often than I like to admit. At least if you NEVER found your seam ripper, it could have been replaced for a couple bucks. I lost my 6x24 inch quilt ruler a while back. After searching or 2 days, finally had to buy a new one...$20+. 3 weeks later I found the lost ruler (on the floor between 2 plastic storage bins). Grrr.

How about my latest issue....I’m working on a Clara dress for a Nutcracker production. I’ve cut and built the bodice, but now the rest of the entire pattern is missing! REALLY? Can’t win.....too many projects, with a withering brain.
