Scraps and Threads
#1
After I make a block or sew a seam, I am at my ironing board, pressing and trimmin threads. I had no place for the snips and they ended up on the floor. No more!!! I finally got "wize"!! Now I take a Wal-Mart bag and stretch one handle over the end of my ironing board so now all the snips go in there. It can be taken off easily so you can use the ironing board for ironing your clothes etc.

I keep a couple of small baskets in my sewing room. One on the cutting table for small scraps (usually from trimming up a block) and for threads. And on between my embroidery machine and ironing board for thread clippings. Then in the early spring I go outside and scatter the clippings out for the birds to build new homes for their families.
