I made a thing

I'm workin'here!

 more specifically I made a CQ caddy out of a plant holder thing.

It started life as a planter for herbs as the side says

it ended up getting in the way and holding nothing

Being a person, incapable of throwing away something,

 that might possibly be useful in the future.

It kept getting in the way until I had an apiffany (epiphany)

one day whilst looking, yet again for my scissors and the stiletto poker thingy


I ran over this thing again

and thought, as one does, I wonder if I can sidetrack myself for an entire day AND

make this thing usefull


two empty tins, some heat-n-bond double stick, screw in hooks, a couple of fat quarters and a magnet later,

VOILA!

Heat-n-bond is magical stuff! I use it by the yard just measure, outline, peel stick and iron.

tAA-dAA!


Everything all at once! 

even on the inside

Just the way I like it!




Then I looked at all the extra space where little things could get lost 

and thought, pouches to fit in between! Excellent!

The tricky bit was getting the scissors case stuck to the side of the handle. 


I covered and old janky case inside, with enough hanging out to stick outside, 

then covered and positioned it, so the HNB would cover the inside of the handle and hold the whole thing up after repeated use.  

It's been two months and so far shows no signs of wearing out or falling off, so, I WIN!

The magnet on the right side is for my tiny pliers,



'Cause sometimes you need some extra grip n' pull.


Now I have a thing, I can tote around the house, that has all my tools in and a few extra bits and bobs.


Clever me!
