I'm with you! My sewing closet used to swallow up quilting notions and parts of projects until one of my friends helped me organize my sewing closet and sewing room early this year. We "found" lots of missing items. I love walking in my sewing closet and being able to see at a glance where everything is. My fabric is sorted by color and the bins are labeled. Thus, I can find everything. What a relief it is to have an organized sewing space. My husband gave me this as a Christmas present and even contacted her!

I must be related to your Mom! I have worn glasses most of my life and never "lost" a pair. Six months ago, I swear, the glasses went into the dark hole. Finally bought a new pair. Many clean outs and a couple of furniture moving/cleaning day have not uncovered the glasses. After hearing your story, I am handing the search over to my kids after I die! I officially give up. LOL

I lost 12 blocks I had embroidered for a child's quilt, when I went to finish the quilt I could not find them. I looked everywhere so I ended up finding them after I made more and finished the quilt. There are some things I have never found around here. I keep saying there is a ghost in this house that likes to drive me crazy, lol....I know I looked three times in the drawer that I found the blocks in. The fourth time they were there. The ghost was playing tricks on me again.

The blocks are where the 60-degree hex was hiding until I broke down and bought a new one (sigh). Still haven't found my 10-degree large wedge with extension (I use if for Christmas Tree Skirts) -- it was hanging on a hook on my pegboard wall last time I looked but it is not on the hook now -- and guess what I was asked to make. I have been slowly cleaning and reorganizing my sewing room(I am too busy to spend more than a couple of hours at time at the job) and I have "found" some lost blocks for a holiday quilt and some flag fabric I bought a couple of years ago to make placemats for the fourth, but no wedge.

I have lost a quilt top and just found it last week and lost it again. I've lost parts to my sewing machine too, didn't find them yet. I'm glad others are in the same boat..

Dumb question? Are you absolutely, positively certain they are in a shoe box and nothing more? Did you maybe put the box in a paper sack or another container?

The same thing happened with my DH hearing aid-never found . We found a ton of things he "put away" after he passed but not the aid. So it #1 it ened up in garbage can next to his chair,#2 lost in chair(looked there) or finally #3 cat ate it! Pye likes eating plastic so ---. I moved from ILL to MT and no sign of it before or after the move.
