Repurposed ~ Boots To Bird Houses

A few years ago my sons, my husband & I made these super cool bird houses, using my boy's old rubber boots.






I came across a few of the photos today. It reminded me of that wonderful day, when they were so much younger!

We used:
2 pairs of old rubber boots.
A sharp knife (to cut the door holes).
Screws.
Scrap Wood (roof).
Bolts (perch).

My husband did all the 'Grown Up' work, and the twins had so much fun helping put them together!

Yarn Peg Board For Braided Ties And So Much More

After watching me struggle many times to get the right lengths of hair for hats and braided ties...
Look what my husband, Shawn made me!


The pegs are all removable. The first one gets lifted, the yarn end goes in the hole, and replace the peg to hold it in place.

Wrap the yarn repeatedly around the length you want. I still have to add the lengths to the peg board. This length is at 16 inchs.

Cut all the yarn at one end in the same location.!

Remove from board. Tah Dah! They are all the same length!

Now all I need is a hole in the back of the board...For easy hanging and storage when not in use....

Time Capsule Idea by Niftnnifer

With the play house construction still under way and so much left to do, we have decided to leave a couple time capsules. I have avoided showing the 'contents' of the capsules to preserve their sentimental value. And some times it's good to forget whats inside. (It makes it more of a surprise).
