It's more like, I'd like to think I'm so darn clever. While running around on errands today I found a great deal at OfficeMax. While standing in line, (there's always a line when you want to just go home) I spotted a letter holder on sale for dirt cheap. I kept thinking, I really don't need a letter holder. What in heavens name would I do with it.... no one writes letters anymore... I don't want to put my bills on display.... hummmm

| But it's a pretty pink and it has flowers all over it. I love the color, the flowers are fabulous... It was screaming 'Cindy's!' and then it dawned on me what I could use it for... |

| A ruler holder! O-M-G, it's awesome! |
I just love using items in unexpected ways. Like my tea cup bird feeder and library card catalog for fat quarters. My new letter holder is perfect for the rulers that I have scattered all over my studio... hopefully it will help me stay more organized.
No more lost rulers or squares.
Happy quilting!
FABULOUS idea!
ReplyDeleteGreat idea! :)
ReplyDeleteThat is just about the cutest letter/ruler holder I've ever seen!
ReplyDeleteVery clever of you. "Seeing Something with Different Eyes" is what my Grandma would do and taught me to do. June JOY...
ReplyDeleteAwesome! I have one of these I've been trying to figure out why...now I know!
ReplyDeleteWhat a great idea and I adore the flowers! My brother is a wood worker and sent me five for Christmas one year. He asked me to share them with my quilting buddesses. I gave one to each of two friends. One of the two asked for a second one. So, I ended up with two of the five. I'd love to have more. He vends pens/pencils at craft fairs and hasn't taken the time to make me any more. I guess I'll have to put them on this year's Christmas list. Great find!
ReplyDeleteYou ARE very clever!! Great idea!
ReplyDeleteLove this idea, and where do I see your post about Library card catalog of fat quarters?????? Thank you for all your freebies, hints and ideas .
