I was so tired of misplacing things, especially rulers. I bought a ruler caddy. It's a slotted stand that I keep on the right hand side of my sewing table. When I am done with the ruler, back in the caddy it goes. At the end of a cutting session, I file that ruler before I leave that table.
My sewing machine drawer holds 3 seam rippers and that's so there is always a spare. Problem solved.

I have 5 sm rprs that are in different areas. Expensive scissors in 2 different places. On the right side of my machine I have a bowl with odds & ends in there. Next to my machine on the floor I have one of those plastic, 4 drawer carts & everything is organized in there. Little itmes pins, needles..... in the top, 2nd drawer has clips, pigma pens, etc, 3rd drawer has gloves & all sorts of scissors, 2 pr of rag scissors & the last drawer has my Bernina BSR & book. I can move this around & also use the top to keep my serger on so from machine I go to that when I need it. :) :) :)
