Poll - The one crafty toy you could never ever give up?

Re: Poll - The one crafty toy you could never ever give up?
This board has been so slow today! Thanks for the poll!
Other than the obvious sewing machine and tools for that, I'd never give up my Creative Grids rulers. I have several now and no other ruler beats them. I need to come up with a creative way to store them though.

It IS slow and you're welcome!
Would either of these work for storage?

I have one from here that holds mats and rulers but I don't see it on their site..hmmmm
ETA this is the organizer I have but I got it empty (without the mats and rulers) from Nancy's Notions

Looks like she doesn't carry it anymore! boooooo!
Aside from the essential needles and yarn? My swift. I freaking love that thing. It's so, so much easier to wind hanks this way.
Plus, it's hours of entertainment for our kitties.

Stand up for something you believe in.
Hmmm...obviously my sewing machine is THE toy I couldn't give up, but past that...
I'm not sure. I could live without a lot of the toys as long as I had the "important" stuff (like hooks/yarn for crochet, hot glue gun, paint/paintbrushes).

I like the standing up one, and I'm really love it if I could hang it on the wall. I could make that, I'm sure, so maybe I'll try to add that to my pegboard that I'll be doing in the new craft room. Maybe as a "shelf" on the bottom? I'll have to play with the idea. Thanks! I did pin one today that was just a plate divider, that looked like it worked pretty well, but like I said, if I could hang it on the wall, that'd be better.

I'm pretty sure you can hang it on the wall if I remember from when I got mine. I will look when I get home and let you know!
Right there with you! DH remarked it takes longer to set it up than to wind a hank.
He's relived not to help anymore. 
I think I just heard angels singing!

lol! I think I might have said this exact thing when I used a long arm for the first time...
