While I wish this man was wearing a shirt, this is still a useful tip for all of you shavers out there!

Thanks, Scott, for sending this link!

August Instructables

New and interesting instructables to keep you busy, if you aren’t already…

Create a silver ring from a silver quarter – costs just 25 cents and a few hours of your time!

This suggestion is inspired by a friend of Lora’s who visited Ohio recently.  He wants to be a mushroom farmer!  If you like mushrooms, you can grow your own “Gourmet mushrooms in an old coffee cup.”  Yum!

And finally, some DIY wall art.  Very retro.  I already know where I’m going to put this masterpiece when I get around to making it…

July Instructables

July 5th, 2010

We now join Elyse for her monthly review of favorite Instructables.

If you ever bike at night, it’s so important to be reflective and visible!  I hate it when I almost hit cyclists and pedestrians because they blend in with the road – I really don’t like accidently killing people!  Make yourself or your friend an awesome hi-vis badge for your bag or jacket so that I can see you when I’m driving.  Thanks.

It’s summer. It’s time for taking naps in the warm sunshine, just like your cat likes to do. What better place to take a nap than in a homemade hammock – even cats like hammocks.  The author of this instructable says it takes $10 and an hour of time to create your own hammock.  I’m planning to make mine on my next weekly craft night!  Be sure to videotape yourself getting in for the first time and then send us the hilarious results.

Love,

Elyse
