Also guilty here. My latest, that I am SURE that cats are responsible for, (these are outside cats ;) ) the case for my sewing machine has been missing for several months now. Rather a nuisance when going to a quilt day or a class.
Way back when, if my siblings or I couldn't find something, my mom would offer to find it...for a quarter!!! LOL Amazingly, she would almost ALWAYS know where the item was.

It's like taking the time to straighten up your sewing room to get rid of all the clutter. Then when you go to start something new, you can't find anything. "But I know I put it in a safe place I'd remember" yeah right.

OMG -- I have been laughing out loud at these -- but I have been this way for YEARS!! I know these things are somewhere in my house but it must be the dog's fault -- she is home all day when I am work!!! She is punishing me for working!!
I think I need to retire. Maybe THEN I will know where everything is!!

The running joke in our home is, "quick, call my glasses" cuz I'm always setting them down where I can't find them. The phone you call, glasses you gotta find the old fashioned way, trace your steps back to the ole' quilting corner!

Okay, here is one. Lost my glasses. Can't see anything w/o them. DH and I looked everywhere including the laundry. Have my prescption, so went to the eye glass place. ordered new pair $425. Ouch (no ins ) Got the new ones very next day,about an hour after I found mine stuck in the afghan I'd been napping with! Felt stupid, think of the fabric that I could have gotten!
:oops: :oops:
