On a rainy day I’d get out the junk box, sellotape, glue, paints, etc set it on the veranda and tell the kids to get to it and use their imaginations.

They’d come up with all sorts of weird and wonderful things.

Simple Green Ideas

We’ve all got bits and pieces around the house, in the kitchen, backyard or shed. Bits and pieces that seemingly make no sense, or seem irrelavent to recycling or repurposing.

Got one of these in the attic?

Time and a bit of ingenuity with a touch of technical know how, and you could have one of these…

Using your imagination.

Old PC & Imagination

Do you have an old PC lying around? Most of us have.  The world is full of dead and dying PCs.

using a little imagination.

A hamster cage, or…

A mailbox, or…

Something arty, or…

A grind wheel, or…

A clock, or…

Another clock, or…

Earrings, or…

A keychain, or…

A box for, well, things, or if all else fails…

A grill!

You see, just a little imagination…
