I know. It seems I have a bat fascination lately.
But do yourself a favor and head over to inhabitat for Bird, Bat and Bee Houses from Up-cycled Catalogues. Very amazingly beautiful, and some lucky bats!
Do you hang houses for bats or birds or bees?

I know that Halloween is still a few months away, but maybe some of you would like to dress up as a bat anyway?
What I like about this junk creation is that it takes something that most of us have been annoyed with and turns it into batty fun. Uh, huh. I’m talking about umbrellas […]

After Father’s Day is the perfect time to talk about what to do with unwanted ties.
There’s the donation option, but what if that tie, even though ugly or a bit worn, is special to you? Maybe it was given as a gift by your 10-year-old who’s now 30. Or maybe it just sat in your […]

Flickr user pwka had a good idea for reusing a CD spindle.
Isn’t it cute? A bagel sandwich was the first thing I ever “cooked” for husband Michael when we were dating. I’m more of a ciabatta chaser now though. I can’t remember the last bagel sandwich I made.
When I saw this bagel holder, the first […]

I mainly feed my cat dry food, but when I give him wet food I like to divide it. Otherwise, he will either eat too much at once and hurl, or the food will get crusty in the bowl.
There are lots of easy leftover cat food container solutions right in your home. Don’t buy one […]

Urban Outfitters has a recycled line called Urban Renewal. You can absolutely get your hippie groove on with some of their stuff. My favorite is the Sheet and Tee Tank made with vintage sheets and t-shirts. If you order one of these, you won’t know for sure what yours will look like, but the style […]

Uh, In case you haven’t noticed, I’ve been throwing out Mother’s Day gift ideas this week. If you missed them, visit Give Her the Motherboard and Motorcycle Tire Vase for Mom.
If those aren’t your style, I understand. They are rather funky. But I think you can’t lose with the recycled tree pendant below.
It’s made from […]

If you’re throwing a party for a tea lover, like Marye over at Kettle & Cup, then tea tags are the perfect confetti. If you don’t think your guest of honor would enjoy a tea theme, glue on some glitter or small buttons — make it personal to the person you’re honoring. Just don’t glue […]

Giving old bras to charity isn’t something you want to do, I’d say. Don’t you agree? It’s a shame to throw them away though.
Craft Bits has a great plan for your old bras.
Check out their full Bra Purse recipe. And please do share if you decide to make one.
