I wish any of the suggestions worked for my coffee cup. I wander around w/coffee in hand, set the mug down and lose it. Almost every day! So sure gremlins abound in my house...waiting for it to show up does not work for me. Usually find it where I've already looked 3-4 times! I get my exercise in the hunt LOL.

I'm missing a Marti Mitchell template. I'm in Florida for the winter and brought my templates down with me but the one missing must still be in Michigan so I can't even look for it. I've looked online for a replacement but can only find it as one of a set, can't just buy it individually. So frustrating! I feel your pain!

When I get frustrated looking for something I order another. Really I don't look much more then a couple of hours, I reorder and forget it. The lost one may turn up in a week or a decade. I lost the apron to my knitting machine and couldn't find it anywhere. I found it six years later behind a bookcase in my quilting room and wouldn't have found it then if I hadn't decided to re organize my sewing room.

I am amazed at how many objects I find if I go through the plastic boxes of fabric and project I had taken to a retreat or a sew-day away from home. I am very slow and don't ever complete a project at a retreat. I don't put everything away when I get home, thinking I will pull that out soon to continue working on a project I had started. Is the template one of those off the pegboard at JoAnns, looks like part of a miniature tri-recs set? I would order another one. You could have ordered a replacement and been finished.

My problem is 'moving' the item from one place to another and think I'm going to remember where I moved it to. Got so frustrated looking for items in my drawer totes that I finally made up an Excel spreadsheet. Oh, what a blessing and time that has saved. While entering my posts, I added a column for Replacement Cost, too. Surprising how many thousands of dollars of notions a person can accumulate!!! That said, I would go to another project and pray that the lost will soon be found (& usually near where you have looked before).
