The right tools
My tissue case template is cut from a cereal box.
My turning tools are knitting needles and paint brush handles.
My pin cushion is, all too often, the arm of the chair.
When making jelly preserves I have a complicated arrangement that involves upending a chair and suspending the muslin bag from it's legs.
I use a tea cup to cut scones.
A crochet hook is kept in the bathroom and used to remove hair from the plughole. I know, sorry.
Barbecue tongs stand guard in the fireplace, ready to place the next log.
And my food processor requires a cocktail stick to be jammed into a slot before it works.
But when it comes to cutting fabric, I dearly love my rotary cutter, it is exactly the right tool for the job. The paperweight is perhaps less obvious but applies itself brilliantly and the metal ruler belongs the Technical Advisor. We tussle over it. He retrieves it periodically from my room and tries to hide it in his man cave. But I always find it and it is the perfect tool for the job.

Haha, TA's comment above is so funny too.
We have one of these metal rulers too, but I haven't seen it lately, somone must be hiding it in their kidcave maybe :)
We have an ongoing battle over retractable tape measures. I can never find one when I need one. *And* my husband pinched both my awl and my wire cutters. I was just forced to buy myself better ones :-)

I think TA has just issued you with a challenge.
