Another Use of Barbecue Tongs

I do a lot of sewing and quilting. I realized one day that my long barbecue tongs wasn't getting used for cooking, so I brought it into my sewing room, attached a glue on magnet strip to one side and it is perfect for picking up scraps, retrieving things that slip behind my sewing machine cabinet, grabbing something that is out of my reach, and the magnet helps to pick up pins, etc. I don't know how I ever lived without it!!

As I started reading I thought, "What the h....?" Then when I read your answer I had a good giggle and thought, Dang!! I'm going to get over to the Dollar store and buy one. What a super idea! Send it into the sewing magazines and earn yourself a prize. I think it is one of the smartest ideas I have heard of in a long time.
Way to go!
