I am on SSD so have to milk the budget where and when I can. If it works, I use it.

A suggestion for keeping your scissors handy, at your machine..I have mine with a ribbon tied to the scissor handle and the other end tied to a drawer pull.........I am always dropping them, but this way - I just pull them back up on the machine....keeps me from loosing them all the time.

<sigh> It will be one more thing I need to keep out of my quilt 'inspectors' little paws. <giggle>

I save all the glass cups from the scented candels...have used them all over the house for storage of little things to crayons to a pencil cups....to the hair clips for bindings...very sturdy and heavy so they hold things with out tipping over....
