Another storage solution:

This is actually a cutlery drainer but as soon as I saw it I knew what it would be used for...

It contains all the essentials I like to have to hand:

As the picture shows I have put toilet roll tubes inside to keep the items seperate and upright (no comments on that :)

I have tried to label the photo (a first for me which was taught by Charlie :) It comes up better if you click on the picture.

I have glue pens, knives, pencils, emery boards, rub on sticks, many scissors, sharpener, rubber, sanding block, etc...

Sticking out the middle is a stack of paper.

I like to have clothes pegs handy for "clamping" paper together, they also make great scissor holders;

Lastly, I can never be bothered to seach through my sewing box for a needle or pin when needed, then when I do I lose them...This is the reason for the foam pad.

This sits on my craft mat permanently so my essentials are always there when needed.

Thanks for looking :)
