I have a magnetic strip which was made to hold knives, mounted right by my sewing machine and I keep my scissors, stiletto, seam ripper, etc. there. On my cutting table, which is two cabinets with a large board under for bin storage,and a cutting and ironing surface on top, I have hooks to hold my most used ruler, my rotary cutter, my other pair of scissors, my Klutz glove and a lint roller. Seems to be working for me. I also have a large mug with pens, etc. in it next to my steam generator.
