In their stuff I found the perfect ruler holder. Dont have a clue what its really for, but it works great for my rulers. I do know its meatn for babies or baby related activites.

Could you post a picture, please?

I'm from Tahoe. Where is Mosquito? I use the non skid drawer liners everywhere. I large square beside my sewing machine which holds my sissors, nippers, and pincushion and tray, like a short silverware tray that holds odd stuff I need and a coffee cup which doesn't scoot around. I use an old dish drainer bottom under my serger which walks around a formica topped table. It also leaks oil that stains the drain tray not the wood or formica surface. I use the non skid fabric for jar openers, place it under a sheet which I cut the dogs hair on, secure the vaccum cleaner wand tighter. fold a large piece and place between front seats so my Yorkie can get in the back seat over the emergency brake, secure the shower caddie to the shower head arm, etc

A young man at out quilt guild made ruler stands out of pretty wood that were about 6 inches wide by 12 inches long. They had grooves cut into them lengthwise, that allowed you to store about 6 or 8 rulers standing up and they took up very little space

Thanks for the idea with the bed risers, I was watching my painter like a hawk for empty cans, I'm thinking the risers will be better support than the empty cans.

Watch your thrift stores...There will eventually be what you are looking for...Good luck....

Love thrift stores. However, I had a hardwood bread box that I was not using and had my husband mount it on the wall left of my sewing machine. Great storage for small boxes of pins, buttons, needles, extra rotary blades, etc. I even use the outside top to store extra pin cushions. Simple, but helpful.
