when I met my DH their family had a family ghost named George. George was the product of BIL Davy when he was about 10 and was teasing the baby of the family Doug who was 2 and afraid to go upstairs alone. So every time the door creaked someone would say hi George glad you came in.
Now I strongly don't believe in Ghosts and someday I will explain why but for now I don't believe. But when my kids were little and I wanted a diversion as in washing hair I told them George(a Ghost dog) and his wife Georgina were playing on the ceiling and over time I added puppies. It worked to get them to look up so I could pour water over their heads for shampooing!
So maybe Georgina decided to take up quilting! LOL

It's usually my DH that finds the lost item for me. I will have looked all over, under, and on top of everything. At least I think I did. He'll come in the sewing room and say "Is this what you're looking for?" while handing me the item. Bad thing is it doesn't just happen in the sewing room. lol

I even wondered if my DGS had taken it but didn't think so.
So I took down a second cutter whose blade isn't that sharp and set it on my sewing machine. Then I bent down to pickup a spool of thread that had fallen on the floor. I was pulling off thread that had gotten dog hair on it. I turned from the sewing machine and reached for a pair of scissors and when I turned back what did I see but not one cutter but TWO!!! Where in the world it came out of hiding from I do not know!!!! They are laying there face to face!!

Sounds as if the "gremlins" from the Twilight Zone have been back in action. That sort of thing happens here at our house a LOT. I could tell you lots of stories, but that would take up time I could spend sewing (or looking for lost stuff) Glad your cutter reappeared and it was closed and safe. ;)

Been there and done that LOL LOL LOL
In fact, on related note, having dropped needles, earrings and so on and then crawled around the floor but unable to find them, I try dropping another of the same thing and watching where it lands. Invariably it lands right near the original thing I had 'lost'.
It's why we have more than one cutter and more than one ruler (being transparent rulers are especially likely to 'disappear)'
