"New" night stand

I picked to this night stand in our ally about two months ago. It has been living in our little storage space since then. Jeremy said it was ugly.

Today I decided today was the day to give the ugly little night stand new life. After some paint and tlc Jeremy is stoked about his new night stand.

Bike tube hot pad

I wasn't sure this was going to work or not, but it does!  The woven bike tubes absorbed the heat from a super hot teapot without sticking to the bottom,  hooray!  It doesn't absorb heat a well as cork, but I would say it does absorb heat as well as a fabric hot pad.

This was a fun experiment. They are easier to make then the triangle is larger.  Wanted to make a change purse because my friend carries his change around in a zip-lock baggie.   

Bike tube cat toy

DIY: Bike Tube Wallet

I found another project to make with all our old bike tubes!

I was surprised how easy it was to sew them by hand.  And they didn't take that long either - about an hour and half and two hours for the one with the cat.
