Major crisis narrowly averted

I sat down at my sewing machine this morning to finally use it for the first time since I moved.  Almost all boxes are now unpacked.  I quickly discovered a problem:  no pedal.  Couldn't find it.  Not in the sewing machine case where I should have put it away before the movers came.  Not in the boxes yet to be unpacked around the sewing area.  I dug through every box in the house before finding the pedal amongst some of my husband's books.  Um, ok.  Anyway, all is well now, and as soon as it is naptime for a certain little boy, look out!
