#25-100 Motif Challenge
...the garbage chute that is!
That is where this tatting very nearly left my apartment late last night before I realized I could not find it.
I had left it on the kitchen counter, under a paper towel, where it had been drying beneath a vase. The vase had been returned to the cupboard, but I got distracted and left the kitchen to do something else, leaving the towelling and its contents on the counter.
When I returned, I noticed the paper towel, and proceeded to wipe up after the cat - his old food, his dish and other remnants of the day. After the tidy-up was done, I left the kitchen.
When I realized I could not find my newly tatted motif, I was mystified. I went back to the kitchen thinking it must still be drying under the vase. Nothing.
Finally, I knew that I had to go through the garbage and I was chagrined. Not because of the filthy cat-food and the need to now wash and re-press the motif - if it was indeed in the garbage, but because I had done it yet again.
You see, I am known for this peculiar character trait. I throw things indiscriminately into the trash. There have been several incidents at work when I had to be issued a new pay cheque. Yes, you have the right image in your head!
I come by this naturally. My grandmother flushed money and even her wedding rings down the toilet. Don't ask.
