Portland-based artist Jason Greene makes toys and furniture out of old skateboards. These buses are very cool and he’s only charging $25 a piece (plus shipping) Only two are available as of this posting. So you gotta move fast! He also makes chairs, yo-yo’s and tops. This is one of those times when sifting through all the handmade tea cozies and doilies over at Etsy can pay off with something very cool for the kiddies.
I have a really hard time throwing things away – especially some old t-shirt from camp in the 80′s that doesn’t fit and isn’t worth anything to anyone except for me. This is a good way to “upcycle” your old t-shirts into home furnishings. Am sure Carolynda isn’t the first to do this, but at around $20 per shirt for the quilt, its not a bad way to remember your t-shirts even if that 1980′s neon Mickey Mouse T doesn’t fit around your belly anymore.
At one point, I had enough t-shirts to make quilts for an entire army. Then facing the ever increasing demands on space, a friend of mine showed me their “T-Shirt” album. They took pictures of the t-shirts that they never wore, but wanted to remember. My wife keeps a separate folder for this pictures and calls is “Chad’s Nostalgia Picks.” (Thanks Ellen)
If you’re gonna drink your beverages out of a plastic bottle, then why not reuse that bottle for some construction fun? Y Water is totally organic, and comes in four flavors: Brain Water, Bone Water, Muscle Water, and Immune Water.
I could probably use a little of each. When you’re done, you can reuse the bottle as a toy. More.
