Fridtjof Nansen
Fridtjof Nansen If you can look at this picture and tell me that this isn't one of the sweetest photos of a dude with a 'stache that you've ever seen, then you obviously need to learn a little something about facial hair and being awesome. This picture alone makes the guy badass, even if you didn't know the story behind it. You will be pleased to learn, no doubt, that the man behind this vicious strip of solidified testosterone is sufficiently badass to pull off a soup strainer that epically righteous. It can be no other way. Fridtjof Nansen was a tough-as-nails Norwegian psychopath with an impossible-to-spell first name and an unstoppable desire to constantly freeze his balls off and risk his life in the name of science and kickassery. In 1882, the 21 year-old Nansen went on a naval expedition to Greenland and instantly fell in love with the harsh, unyielding hellhole he discovered there. Ah, good times. After the war, Nansen continued being awesome to the world. Links: Fram Museum Main

Silk Tie Easter Eggs |
Well, we’ve found our absolute favorite Easter egg dyes… of all time. No tablets, no food colors, no cups, no drips, no stained fingers or clothes, no spilling— I could go on and on. But seriously, the best part about this method is that everything you need is right in your kitchen and closet…or worst case—the thrift store. Who would have thought that an old ratty, out of date silk tie could be the gorgeous answer to the annual Easter egg dying ordeal? Your whole family is going to love this. Here’s what you’ll need: Eggs Silk ties–look for a tiny tag at the small end of the tie. An old, white T-shirt–cut it into squares big enough to wrap around the eggs String 3 Tablespoons of white vinegar Pot of water Vegetable oil Now then… Cut open the tie at the back and take out the facing fabric. Cut the silk into pieces big enough to cover the egg… Wrap it around your egg. Now, roll the egg up with the T-shirt fabric. The idea is to press the colored silk right up against the egg. He’s such a sillyboy.

How to catch a mouse without a mousetrap
September 20, 2005 How to catch a mouse without a mousetrap Humanely I had a little friend visit my apartment the other week, and for a while there I was ready to make peace with him and co-exist. Here's how I caught the critter: Get a toilet paper tube and crease two lines to form a flat sided tunnel. Set the fella loose at least a mile away from your abode. Postnote: It worked within the hour. Also, folks have asked how this could work if you don't have a counter or table. Filed in: Miscellaneous | « The day before | The Last 10 | The day after » Comments This actually works! Posted by: izzy | Mar 2, 2014 3:30:15 PM Wonder if inverting a CONE into the bucket---like a dog "Collar of Shame" would KEEP the mouse in there???? And---I get the whole "Life is sacred" thing---I do. Please IF you release these make SURE they are no where NEAR anyone elses house or business---they will be INSIDE before you get home.

The Convertible “Infinity” Dress: How it almost defeated me, and what you need to make one
I made this thing. It’s pretty cool. It’s a convertible dress that’s basically a circle and two straps, so it’s really easy, inexpensive, and crazy versatile. It’s been around forever and everyone seems to love it (in fact, part of the reason I’m posting this is to answer some questions for people I’ve run into), and I can hardly believe how close I came to not making it at all. I first found the instructions at a blog called rostitchery, and then I came across a second set at Cut Out + Keep. So I bought some material, spread it out in the living room, cut out my pieces, and… …stopped. I didn’t understand the next step. Turn the skirt inside out? And what’s this about making them overlap each other? There’s, like, a band of fabric involved? What? I figured I was just being thick. So I folded up my circle and my straps and I put it all back in the bag it came in. And I went upstairs to watch TV. I was wearing my new dress after about half an hour. Select a stretchy knit with spandex in it.
Prairie Paper & Ink: How to Make a Glitter & Re-Inker Ornament
I showed this to my Stampin' Up! club ladies and promised I would post the instructions (w/ pictures) on here for them and my other customers - I hope y'all will try these out - they're SO easy and the results are so fab!! Clear Glass Ornament Dye Re-inker (Stampin' Up! ink used for these - I do not know how other types of ink will work with this as I've only used SU Classic re-inkers) Water (optional) Paper Towel Rubber/Latex Gloves Fine Glitter (I use SU! Remove the top and hanger of the ornament (be careful as you're doing it as the glass is very thin and the hanger pops open as it's pulled out) Put on your gloves before moving to the next step. STEP 2: (optional) I decided to get a little creative and mixed my own color using Night of Navy, Ballet Blue and some water (there's no specific amount - I just kept adding till I got it how I want it). ***If you skipped step 2 and want to use just re-inker - add approx 20 drops to your ornament Pour the ink mixture into the ornament.
