Eureka!!!!! Well the morning started off BAD. I couldn't find the backing for my quilt!!! I started to search and was going crazy. Not only the backing but some Christmas stocking I had that I was going to let my granddaughter stitch up...I was convinced that I needed a nanny cam in my sewing room . How could things keep going missing. Last month I lost my 5x7 embroidery and it cost me a lot to buy a new one :(. Well after going through every tub and drawer and nook and cranny again and almost lossing my mind not to mention another whole day shot...I was convinced that my husband was trying to slowly drive me crazy, by hidding my stuff. But when I asked him he said no I went crazy long ago :D. He kept helping me lift tubs of heavy fabric ...down and back up....he was wondering if I was trying to make him nuts LOL. But after many hours of searching I found everything ...even my hoop Yeah!!!!

I am glad you found what you were looking for. I remember when my kids were little I could not find my credit union card. I looked everywhere. I had to cancel it and get a new one, then I went to put a floppy disc in my computer, (the discs really were floppy then) and there it was in the slot where the disc goes. My daughter who was about 18 months old at the time (now 21) had stuck it in there, probably just because it fitted.

Your ordeal of trying to find your stuff reminded me of sending my kids to clean their rooms and when I went to check on their progress they would be playing with something that had been lost for months. After that they would be looking for something and I told them to look in lost and found ~ "Their Rooms". lol So happy you found what you were looking for.

Glad you found your missing hoop and backing! That is why I do not clean up in my work room as when I tidy up I cannot find anything. Hugs Sally

So happy for you found your missing items, I'm thinking you need a nap after all that heavy lifting. LOL.

You are so right...I'm exhausted...so much so that I can't even think to spell it!

My hubbys grandmother called those little elves who came to hide our things and drive us crazy "switchers". They switch where you KNOW you last left something sitting to another spot to drive you batty.
:D
Sounds like the "switchers" have come to visit your house. I don't know how to get them to move on though, :( lol

That explains it all. Do they eat chocolate as well, I always seem to be short, and I swear it's not me!

No thats my husband ...I know that for sure! I count and he always gets more...same with the pizza!

I tell you the brownies come out at night!Glad you found the hoop.

Welcome!! You are in good company! I also keep on losing my embroidery marking pens, hoops, etc. and I know of a few other fellow embroideres, and ... the same thing happening to them. I think it is because we have so little time to do what we love most.Have a lovely day.***

Your tale sounds as if I could be telling it! I've hit upon the solution for finding lost items - buy a replacement! ;-D I'm glad all things have been found! Hugs and *'s for all

Yes but my new hoop cost 129 dollars boohoo

Glad you found the fabric - and now you have two hoops (which I think is a VERY good thing - trying to decide if I will invest in another one myself).

One good thing - now you have 2 hoops.

Yes I understand, sometimes it seems items must grow legs and run away

Oh wow, I am soooo glad that I am not the only one that runs around frantically searching for stuff!! I was quite sure that I was on the way to Alzheimers!!!! Glad you found everything!!

Luv your analogy !!

So glad you found the hoop and all that you were looking for, too.

Oh you make me laugh. Now you knew that you would find that hoop when you least expect it. Nice to know that others do the same crazy things only I don't have a husband to blame and my dog only goes counter surfing when I am not home and is not tempted by embroidery stuff. Sometimes I spend a whole day looking for something.

I'm missing some fabric at the moment but I know my husband wouldn't have a use for it.When he uses my sewing things he never puts them back where he got them from in the first place

Carolyn look for something else and you will find your 2 lost things. It seems we find them when we don't need them. he, he
