I'm So Clever....

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!

  2. Very clever of you. "Seeing Something with Different Eyes" is what my Grandma would do and taught me to do. June JOY...

  4. What 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!
