New fabric, more searching.......

I had a fun day yesterday, getting out of the house and being with friends.  I didn't even have to drive and that was a treat.  At the fabric store I found 2 of the new Hoffman batiks and I found a couple other fabrics on sale too. 
Last night I continued my search for the clear plastic presser foot that flew across the room.  No luck yet.  I have pretty much checked the whole room so today I'll get out the tall step stool and check the top of the ceiling fan (do you think I should have my little vacuum cleaner with me when I go up there?) and the top of 3 seven foot tall bookcases.  If the foot flew behind any one of them, I'll won't find it because they are loaded with fabric and couldn't be moved unless I unloaded them.  I don't have time to do that right now because I have to get ready for my guild program next Monday night and 2 workshops that I will be teaching next week.  What I did find was my package of hand sewing needles, the ones I use for bindings and my basting needles.  I have been looking for them for about 3 months so there is some good coming out of this search.
