sewing needle lsot

[maedb]

okay, the sewing needle that I dropped has completely left this plane of existence. It simply is not there. Nor is it within twenty feet of there. I looked for over an hour and cannot locate it. When I couldn't find it at first, I carefully searched every blanket within reach. I got a bright flashlight and searched. I covered every square inch

They ALWAYS bounce. It's the "pins and needles" rule of sewing you know... ;)

Ouch!

Here it is.

I know you have lived with forestcats long enough to know better than to EVER go barefoot in the house. Anyone's house.

[mycroftca]

True.

I've worn slippers, shoes, or sandals around the house pretty consistently for years. Exception is the shower. If the damn needles get in there, there will be words exchanged!

Is it small enough to be sucked up by a vacuum? Maybe you could try the old lost contact lens trick - stick a leg of nylons over the end of the vacuum hose?

It's a long shot, though.

That's like what happened with my contact lens on christmas. Oy.

I made a brief search this morning, but couldn't find it. Unfortunately, I got a slow start this morning and couldn't put much time into it.

Didn't find it.

Were you barefoot?

I walked across in front of the couch barefoot. But I didn't start my official investigation until I was shod.

*well*

That's shoddy workmanship if I've ever seen it.
