    Now, can anyone find my Tardis pattern and the fabric I bought to make it? I remember keeping it all together, but don't even know whose house it's in. Unfortunately, one is my house, the other is my daughter's (genetics anyone?)

    LOL, I can so relate . . .I've bought a Quick Curves Ruler twice . . .found the first withing 24 hours of buying the second. And I have an extra 1/4" foot for my travel machine because the first was missing and I had to have it . . .only to find the first tucked safely in a drawer at home. Very frustrating. Thanks for reminding me to laugh 😜

    I have lost or misplaced so many things since we moved from a 3-bedroom house with a large sewing room, to a 2 bedroom apt., i am lucky to find the bed at night. Maybe my cat TJ can show me the way as she always walks a couple of feet in front of me when I head for the bed at night and I'm almost always tripping over her, so I lead with my cane and if she gets caught - oops - it's her fault and she doesn't learn what to do. Maybe I need a cat whisperer to come to my apt. and figure her out like he does with dogs. I definitely never lose her, although she pouts when I've been in the hospital and Rehab., so she hides until she decides I've been punished enough. Anyway, I got off track and I meant to talk about my quilting physical limitations. I'll be 69 next month, but there are days I feel like 109 as my brain refuse to work for even simple things. The joys, trials and tribulations for reaching the golden years, when I thought they would be different. I've tried to organize projects, but then I go looking for something else and I need to re-arrange my sewing area again to find the right tote so that maybe I can find things when I want them. I've asked for help, but apparently that request falls on dumb ears, so I just repair, reorganize, and keep trying to do it better. Good luck. I found a therapist and will start seeing her the end of Sept., so I hope she can help me out and I can find a way out of my disorganized ways and why I say things I mean. Hopefully, the first year of nursing school will give my son some understanding of what a patient deals with. Keep me in your thoughts. Happy Quilting to you.

    While I'm sewing, I always wear a long circle of elastic around my neck with my small scissors attached. I lost that scissors and BLACK elastic almost a year ago. Usually, if I just ignore such things, they show up. But not my scissors. I had to create another scissors / elastic necklace.

    I "lost" the foot pedal for my machine. I couldn't find it anywhere after a class at my guild. Looked everywhere. Went on line, it was stupid expensive, finally found one for half price. It arrived. Took it to my sewing room, moved some fabric...........you got it! I now have two foot pedals for the same machine. SIGH

    Sometimes, after I find what I was looking for, I look in a couple of more places, just so I can say it wasn't in the last place I looked. Seriously!

    Maybe the thing to do is look in the last place first (LOL)
    (Would that work?)
