I like the blackmail picture idea the best. Don't you just love it when someone "borrows" your stuff without asking? It drives me nuts. I liked the one idea of painting the handles of our tools bright dayglow orange or pink and they wouldn't be caught dead with them. I have this huge cutting table mat that, unfortunately, is currently too big for any table in our apt., however, I had to snatch it away from hubby when he wanted to cut it up and put it under something to protect the rug. No way Jose!!! He has a fit if I borrow something of his, so I now have acquired screwdrivers, scissors, etc. so he can't accuse me of taking them without permission. Men.

No, he doesn't use my quilting tools but every once in awhile, I buy a tool for myself--a small hammer, a little pair of pliers--something small enough for me to handle. He scoffs, makes a little fun (gentle fun, not mean) and then, a few weeks later, I'll find him "borrowing" my tools from my tool drawer. Seems there are uses for small hammers, rubber mallets, etc., even if you're a great big he-man. Men are funny.

The only thing my hubby uses of my quilting tools are the clamps, but he knows to put them back where he found them. although I have two sets I usually don't miss them because the one set I always use is in my quilting room downstairs.
