I spent a lot of spare time I had this last month making a Christmas gift for my sister-in-law's boyfriend.
It was this Sgian dubh:


After this picture was taken I applied four more layers of oil which REALLY brought out the spelt. I made a lovely leather sheath for it and stamped it with a nice Celtic knot. And I polished the blade to a lovely shine.

Last night, proud of the finished result, I showed Diane and then left it on the computer desk.

Now it's gone.

I have searched every inch of the house. In the oven. In the microwave. In the chicken coop. Under the bed and sheets. I even took every single thing out of my bin in case I had thrown it out by accident.
It is NOWHERE to be found. It seems to have grown legs and walked off all on its own.


I am very, very frustrated.
