I have been on a hunt ....in my sewing room , I broke the "tray" on my sewing machine and I knew I had a new one there , so the hunt started five days later I had been into just about everything in my room ,no sign of it but I had the neatest cleanest room , I sat at the machine and thought I would just drown my sorrows in sewing , looked up towards the ceiling there on the top shelf with lots of little boxes was sitting my "tray' , I was over the moon , do you think the sewing room fairy was trying to tell me something . I found things I had forgotten I had , Treasures as my husband puts it . Cathy

haha, so funny.... I think I'll have to borrow your idea and tidy up too, as i am quite sure there are gremlins in my sewing room

I did a similar hunt for a lost camera in my sewing room. Sat down one day in frustration and there is was on my left laughing at me.
Glad that you found a clean and tidy sewing room in the process. And lots of treasures to make and finish.

Of course treasures! i That is the best part of cleaning is finding lost treasures!

I am not sure what the tray is , but glad you found it as i have spent countless hours looking for lost items! Kay

This sounds so familiar. Just think of the great uses you have for all the new treasures you found. Create and enjoy. Glad you found your tray.

it is so frustrating when you know i is there somewhere the old saying you cant see he forest for the trees and bingo there it is right before your eyes...sch a good feeling to find t yeah....soozie

Welcome, Cathy66.

That happens a lot ... You put it someplace to have easy access to it and forget it is there. Then the hunt is on. Good that you found it. Welcome to cute. You will find great people here and lots of info. Suzanne

This is Christmas in July! I find my stuff hides in plain sight. lol Welcome!

Congratulations on finding your tray. Yesterday I found 2 items that I don't remember buying and have no idea what they were to be used for. If I use them for something else then I'll probably remember the original purpose, lol. Welcome to Cute.

I am so glad you found it. I see items all the time in my sewing room until I need them. Then they play hide and seek.

Congratulations on a great find. I usually don't find what I'm looking for until I go buy another one and when I put it away, low and behold there's the one I was searching for.
Welcome to Cute Embroidery. I'm glad you are here.

Well congratulations on finding your loss. Welcome aboard the Cute train. We are glad to have you here with us//Lillian

So glad you found your tray Cathy, it's always so nice to know you aren't losing it!!!! At least you've got a nice clean sewing room now. A big Aussie welcome to Cute from me. Love Chris, Newcastle, Australia.

Yeh! they love to play hidings, just so you can refined things. Frustrating isn't it

We always put things in a safe place then misplace them until we are looking for something else, as you say we land up with a tidy clean room until the next time. Glad you found your tray. I misplaced an external hard drive from September until I found it last month in a place I had forgotten about and would never thought to look. Maureen
