How to find what is lost

I remember someone in this group had a "magic" method for finding lost
items.

Well, I bought this new quilting book. I read it. I skimmed through it
another time. I told my sister I bought it since I knew she was
interested in the book and would likely want to borrow it.

For my birthday she bought me the special rulers that one of the
projects uses.

So, naturally, now I cannot find the darn book. I've looked everywhere!

whine

Any good ideas?

Tie your current dish towel around the leg of the kitchen table. Then have
another look. Once the item is found, throw the towel in the wash. Works
for me every time!

Look inside other books. Ask me why! I had purchased a pattern of North
Pole Village while in Seattle. I had started on it, then put it aside.
Months later, no pattern to be found. I wrote Piece O Cake designs and they
had 1 left. I ordered it. Few months later, I pulled a few books to take
on a trip. Imagine my surprise when I opened one of them and there was the
lost pattern. I now have 2. Apparently it was in the bookcase and when
returning a book it got tucked inside.

Perhaps it is the blood rushing to your head as you
bend down to tie the towel to the leg of the chair that
makes you remember???????...hmmmmm....
If so, I might just try standing on my head every day....!!!
I need it.

for me every time!

Buying another one, preferably non-returnable, always works for me. That's
how I found the installation disk for an old ethernet card on Saturday -- I
gave up, bought a new card, installed it, and immediately found the old
disk. :-0

the heart be lacking and all the perfection means nothing.

Yup! That is exactly what works best for me, too.

Lose something else. Look for it. You will find the quilting book, not
what you're actually looking for.

I find that "finding" is always one lost item behind. g

Y'know the last place you look? I find it more efficient to look there
first. Works almost every time.
