This article has several fun activities to do with kids…though I am uncertain how many kids really ought to be putting non-food items in […]

The bowl is a little crude, I know. However, it is a prototype (makes it sound like I’m planning to build a robot). Both the bowl and the spoon were formed from an old milk carton that I washed (yes, I do think ahead sometimes).
I know that a Tuesday I posted my failure […]

Above is a foam ball my wife caught while we were at an NBA game. We kept it around the house, and today’s post not only features her foam ball, but is also her idea. (However, the execution is all me, Mwa-ha-ha!)
I would normally post something like this “how to” on a Monday […]

I have been trying to figure out what makes people think that “trash picking” is a degrading and perhaps even disgusting thing. I mean, it’s not like those of us that do that sort of thing are less than them or come from another kingdom, phylum or class than the rest, right? (Don’t […]

Over a year ago, I decided that a common material that I ought to harness for projects was plastic. I mean, we use 2-3 milk cartons a week and several juice containers a month, why not melt them into a new form? (Ha-ha, naive guy that I am, I thought this would work.)

Alright, you can see that the gloves I made aren’t exactly designer. First of all, they use leather that is a bit higher quality than your average glove leather–I found what I believe to be an entire sofa’s worth of leather at the thrift store! (I don’t know for sure if it has […]

This weekend I am featuring a site that helped me make my own work gloves. It took me a while to find a decent how-to site for this, so I hope you all can use it!
The main site is called vintagesewing.info, but what I am focusing on today (and Monday with my version…are we […]

There’s a Carnival o’ Weddings (not their title, but it should be) going on at www.quiltingandpatchwork.com. Should be all sorts of links to all (or at least some) things “Wedding.”
At first, I thought that this poor “Junk” site had nothing to offer today’s bride. However, after combing through my “inventory” (at this blog, […]

I normally reserve posts about other websites for the weekend, but this one just caught my eye and I couldn’t wait. (Don’t worry; the weekend post will be a great one!)
This time the idea came from Matt & Alex’s LEGO web site
These guys, Matt and Alex, have a couple of great ideas about […]

Have you ever thought about how few people really understand or have the capability to do the things that have become so important to keeping us alive and continuing our culture? We use things everyday that we not only did not make, but that we could not make, if the one who made them […]
