Tutorials for Recycling T-Shirts

So way way back, in June, I wrote this Studio Organization post, about starting the process of organizing my studio by cleaning out the closet full of junk. Well, it's September and...let's just say the closet is a work in progress. Some of the things that are taking up space in the closet are shirts that I never wear anymore. I realized I could repurpose them into something else! Here are some tutorials for recycling shirts: Check out these t-shirt scarves! http://www.julieannart.com/2011/09/tutorials-for-recycling-t-shirts.html

In the ancient Greek world, philosophy was not just about thinking; it was more about living. The aim of the exercise was to live well, not just to think clearly. This meant that philosophers like Plato and Epicurus were held in high regard as great teachers or gurus. People would come to Athens to sit at their feet and learn how to flourish as human individuals. Philosophy was a kind of therapy; philosophers often taught a kind of self-help. During the fourth century BCE, six major varieties of philosophy emerged.

Less is the New More: Making the Most of Small Spaces

Good Design For Living in Small Apartments As people migrate to smaller spaces, good design helps a lot. This is something they figured out in Europe long ago, that if you don't have a lot of horizontal room you can go vertical. Tumidei in Italy makes some of the nicest stuff, like this unit with lots of storage under the bed. This unit just raises the floor high enough for beds to slide under. This one looks a bit clinical, but has two single beds plus a pull-out double bed in between. http://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-product-design/less-is-the-new-more-making-the-most-of-small-spaces.html

Spring Clean & Tidy Week: Yoga Mat Sling

We spent the first day of our Clean & Tidy Week, fixing up the family room. Today it's time for an exercise break. But it still falls under the spick-and-span umbrella, because our yoga mat bag allows you to tidy all your workout clothes and accessories into one, handy over-the-shoulder sling. Its generous size is big enough to hold your mat, towel and flip flops. It even has a handy outside pocket with a Velcro closure for a wallet, phone and keys. https://sew4home.com/projects/storage-solutions/spring-clean-tidy-week-yoga-mat-sling

The Easter Island “Heads” Have Bodies

Maybe this isn’t a newsflash to anyone but me, but, um, . Because some of the statues are set deep into the ground, and because the heads on the statues are disproportionately large, many people (myself included) tend to think of them as just big heads. But the bodies (generally not including legs, though there is at least one kneeling statue) are there — in many cases, underground. What’s even more interesting — there are petroglyphs (rock markings) that have been preserved below the soil level, where they have been protected from erosion. This research report has been making the rounds; it discusses recent progress by The Easter Island Statue Project to uncover, study, and catalogue two statues.
