little diy project of our own....
How come it is that if you're creative for a living, you get to do your own creative projects last?? I guess its sort of like a chef that cooks all day and comes home and eats TV dinners....lol. Well, Mr.Mike has been at me to paint this piece of wood that he had so he could make a rack for all the outdoor clothes. Where he can hang his overalls and weed-whackin' clothes. So, yesterday, whilst I was painting, I finally fashioned him a 2ndsurf styled coat rack. Totally made out of found hooks, wood, and items that we had around here. Since I was already painting, I only used leftover paint on my pallet too so basically, it was completely free, outside of labor. I think it looks pretty groovy, no?

Better Swiffing with Trouble on Thrifty Thursday & a tutorial!
Meet Trouble the Dog. Trouble is a Border Collie, arguably one of the smartest breeds of dogs out there.....and he expels his hair all the time....all over....everyday.Sometimes I think I could make another Border Collie everyday with the hair that is collected.
For this reason, I LOVE my little swiffer-type broom that whizzes around our terrazzo & tile floors and picks up another border collie's worth of hair off the floor. I have an Omop made by Method and sold at Target. I like it a lot better than a Swiffer. The head is larger and you have the option of disposable corn-based dusters or a reusable microfiber pad that you can use wet or dry. I really like the green aspects of the Omop as opposed to Swiffer's petroleum based cloths and cleansers. But I don't like the prices, so naturally I set out to find some diy alternatives.
By the way, Trouble has his own website. Have a good day! Live Aloha!
