Can't find Needlework =8-O

Hi Guys,
I am TOTALLY bummed! I finished the birth sampler for DD early last autumn
and put it away for safe keeping. I was getting into the heavy holiday work
and knew I wouldn't have time to do the finishing until the spring. Well,
spring is here and now I can't find the *#$*#$^& sampler! I have gone through
the sewing room umptyzillion times and it's nowhere to be found!
I can find the backing fabric. I can find the lining fabric. I can find the
cording for the trim. I can even find the bell pull hardware. I just can't
find the sampler itself!!! It can't have gotten stuffed into some little nook
because I had it wrapped around a cardboard core that was wrapped with acid
free tissue and the whole thing was wrapped in tissue. Now way could it have
gotten folded up and stuffed in somewhere!
I suppose I need to pull all of the plastic storage boxes out from under the
storage shelves. It might have gotten pushed to the back against the wall and
then slithered down behind the storage box. The boxes are wider at the top
than the bottom so there would be room and they don't sit flush up against the
wall. VBS -- I really don't want to have to move all of my stuff and start
pullling out those heavy boxes but it's the only thing I can think of! Oh
well -- send good thought my way so that I don't lose my patience and end up
tossing those heavy boxes over the stair rail in frustration -- LOLOL!

(giggle) Could this perhaps be the needlework fairy's way of telling you you
have too much stuff??? (vbg!!) Or perhaps she is just cross with you for not
finishing something you started with so much enthusiasm???

Well, as Olwynmary said, I am sure the Needlework fairies have hidden it
well and good. Seems to me that a few wee little prayers to good ol' St. Tony
would be the answer to the pranks those pesky fairies like to pull!!! I'll
start right now -- I am sure that Sait Tony will come through for MOI -- he
always has before.
HMMM, maybe a few prayers to St. Claire too -- isn't she the patron saint
for needlework??? CiaoMeow ^;;^

I predict you will find it as soon as you stop looking for it and try
to find something else. It always works that way with me. I swear

Yep. I couldn't find a very expensive book. Ordered a new copy. It arrived,
and within 24 hours, I found the first one.

Announce loudly to the spirits "I am going to start a new birth sampler". Pick
up a needle and floss and start backstitching the name. Once you get the first
name done, decide it's time for another Coke. Open the fridge, and the
gremlins will have your original sampler draped over yesterday's roast beef.
You now have a birth sampler and a personalized bookmark.

Is it possible it got in *with* the holiday stuff by accident?
