Irene Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Am I all alone?? Here I am, working on my minis...either my house or something to put inside of the house when suddenly, something I need has disappeared...Today, I was glueing corner molding onto my dollhouse and the cap from the glue ran off...then, before I could find it, I discovered that the pencil I was using was gone...followed by my protractor.....I actually had to stop and really search to find those items...of course they were right in front of my nose the whole time....am I losing it or does anyone else out there find themselves suffering from lost-itis???

Color Me Holly Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 ::raising hand:: My tools, caps and pencils seem to end up on the floor or on the desk behind me. I don't remember putting them there. Sometimes I cover them up. My most often "lost" tool is my tape measure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
maresiedotes Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 LOL!! ;) :lol: ;) All my tools have mini legs that they sneakily walk away on!! That's all part of the game! :lol: :lol: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Oy! Constantly! It's really bad working on the houses because I'm working at the table.. and tools get picked up and set down and disappear under plans, wood, glue - other tools etc. It's not nearly as bad when I'm working with polymer clay because I have a set of drawers by the sofa instead of an end table - all the tools go right there so if I need to set something down the drawer it goes in is right by my side :lol: ... I wonder if it would help for me to get a second set of tools and tool drawers for the kitchen.. nah! ;) -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minis On The Edge Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 Am I the only one suffering from miniature senility? Is that what this is called? I noticed it more after I built my haunted house so I just thought my tools, pencils and glues & fabric were possessed ;) Some days are worse than others. Sometimes I even think my family is hiding my stuff from me (until it happens and I am home alone :lol: ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MiniMadWoman Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 I'm also a sufferer! ;) Just last night I lost my scissors (I had put them on the chair next to me?!!) my brad nail insertion thingy, my tape tester, my thumb tack . . . need I say more? :lol: I keep telling Brian that if I had a proper craft room this wouldn't happen . . . yeah, right!! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sharon Posted August 26, 2006 Share Posted August 26, 2006 It's not only the tools that walk away. Sometimes it's the dollhouse parts too! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hydroped Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 It's not only the tools that walk away. Sometimes it's the dollhouse parts too! :lol: Oh yea! So I finally get smart and pull out the gallon zip lock bags before I start - that will solve the problem right?... uh.. well it solves the problem with pieces I'm not using right now - the ones I need at the moment however still manage to find a nice safe hiding place right at the exact moment I need them and I'm standing going nutty because "I JUST had it in my hand.. Now Where could it have gone????" heheheh Ok so I'm not the shiniest penny in the till. ;) ;) -David Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josi Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Oh man, what a relief! Here I was thinking that I was suffering from some old age symptoms. Nice to know that I am not alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
