You know I lose everything. The biggest problem, other than I’m alawys going in too many directions, is that I pick something up, have a plan, get sidetracked, totally forget what I was fixing to do or where I put whatever I had picked up and . . it’s gone, sometimes forever it seems.
Over the weekend, I had a new HSA card that came in the mail. I picked it up to go put it in my wallet, then Addie wanted me to cut some fabric to make a blanket for her doll. I have no idea what I did with that card. It has to be here somewhere. I remember picking it up, heading to my wallet, then stopping to go help Addie. Why didn’t I just put the darned card in my wallet . . half a second is all it would have taken?
See that blue floss that is outlining that flower or whatever it is on the left side of the center motif? I was using it last night. Cannot find it tonight. I didn’t pick it up and move it unless it got picked up with something else and I didn’t know but what’s weird is that all my silk floss is in zippered plastic bags and they’re all on a ring so how would I have lost that one bag?
I spent over an hour looking for that bag of floss. I looked in the books I had open today. I looked under my chair. I looked all around my chair. I just don’t have a clue. I ordered another skein. I took the slip cover off and looked under it and in the cracks and crevices of the chair. Nope . . can’t find it! I have plenty of stitching to do on this project so it isn’t like I’ll be waiitng for the floss to arrive so I can stitch again. Thank goodness the floss was in stock!
It’s one thing when I lose something and I know I was being careless and not paying attention but when I lose something and there’s just no explanation . . that is even more frustrating.

Do you think Cat is helping think disappear? Just an idea. Of course, i am just like you. I loose everything. It can be in my hand one minute and gone the next. So i pray and before you know it, it’s found! Lolo

He was hardly upstairs today. He came up this mornng but I was folding clothes in the bedroom so he came in there and visited and then he went downstairs so I went down there and sat and knitted with him for a few hours. I don’t think I can blame it on him but . . you never know.

I have found (the hard way) that floss sometimes sticks to my clothes usually where I don’t notice it, I get up, walk around to do something else and it falls off somewhere totally off the beaten path. Bob or I will see it on the floor somewhere.

The first two weeks I was here, I realized how jumpy I had become about scorpions. Every piece of floss that landed on the floor, green, purple, pink . . made me jump. I was coming up the stairs yesterday and there was a brown piece of floss on a step and I about fell trying not to step on it and then I realized . . it’s floss. I told Vince it’s a good thing I wasn’t cross stitching in Texas. I would have given myself a heart attack.

I understand completely and I share in this losing items situation. I need to get to my sewing room and do a major “put things where they belong rather than just setting them down” cleanup.
Judy Laquidara says
That was what I had planned to do as I unpacked but it turned into a staging area and it desperately needs a total cleanup. I’m waiting for Vince to get the longarm setup because right now, I have fabric and books stacked on the longarm table to keep the machine from rolling off. I need the space on the table to stack stuff as I’m organizing it by color . . that’s my excuse.

i set things down and don’t know where they are too. Sometimes it is weeks before I find them again. I hope you find your card soon!

While you’re searching for something you’ve lost, you can always think of me because chances are, I’m probably doing the same thing. 🙂
