I use the ponytail holders, too. Then I stick my bobbins in an empty straight sided pill bottle for taking to classes. Also, I will often use smaller pill bottles (with straight sides) for holding bobbins of the same color. I hate when I am on a roll and doing a project and I have to stop and wind a bobbin. Since I mostly use: white, black, light taupe and dark taupe threads for my projects, I keep these bottles filled at all times.
I also use the medium and large black binder clips for holding a stack of blocks together. Which reminds me that I had better go get some while the school supplies are out.
I still have my gallon of Elmer's Glue that I bought 2 years ago, so I don't need any of that, yet.

I bought a box of binding rings and cut them apart and they work well also and are very inexpensive. You can buy a box and share with friends and still have some left. Who needs expensive specialty gadgets when all you need to do is post a comment on the board and you get a lot of ideas. Quilters are awesome for sharing and saving money.

I decided to change washable markers, knew I have some in waiting. I looked everywhere in sew room. Could not find them. I bought new ones last week, fat and thin markers, lots of colors.
Today I looked in my fabric closet and lo and behold there were 2 boxes I bought last school year. I am sure they will dry up before I can use them up. I never thought to look there before I bought new ones.

I lost my eye glasses and I held off buying new ones because I knew that they would turn up the minute I bought a new pair. Had to use my ten-year-old eye glasses and I waited about 1 1/2 years until my next eye examination, before I finally gave in and bought a new pair. It was barely three days after I picked up the new glasses that I found my other pair. Apparently, I had cut my husband's hair and left the glasses in the box with the clippers. Since these clippers were not my favorite pair, and I usually use another pair, I never thought to look there. Just what are the odds? This happens to me all the time.
