A little thing that will prove useful

I saw this a few weeks ago advertised but passed it off as not being that useful.  Until I took the Perpex table away from my machine and found all manner of things that had gone missing and got hidden, especially pencils and biros, my tweezers that went missing a couple of months etc. So I've bought one and without too much effort I've filled it up.

This was the cheapest one even with delivery added.

I've seen those for sale but never been tempted. Ages ago I made a mug cosy type thing that has pockets that sit inside and around the outside of the mug to hold all those bits that you need to hand. The bonus is that I've an excuse not to bin a chipped but loved mug.  [ You are not allowed to view attachments ]

Here’s my storage solution :D. Never a shortage of nice mugs with a little chip or a lost handle!

I do have a large mug, that I keep out of  sight @Sheilago , that I keep for large cones I want to use with the sewing machine.  Otherwise mugs are no good for me, I don't like shelves and I've got two kitties that roam around and would think quite funny to shove off. Well three really but Charley is only interested in food and wouldn't waste time climbing on the off chance he might find something.

I like @Kad and her handmade storage, unfortunately 'fiddling' with anything like that is not my forte, I did well to make a couple of machine mats (only because they were easy to do).
