Recycled Trivet Floor Mat

I love this idea to turn old trivets into a floor mat!

What a cool way to bring these beautiful, artistic trivets out of the drawer and into every day view.  I think this would be great hanging on a wall too, maybe even with an empty frame around it.  Love, love, love it!

The Trouble with Tribbles...and left-over yarn



I used to have so much fun making these pom poms out of yarn when I was a kid. Maybe it was because I was an artistic kid who like to make stuff...or maybe it's just because they remind me of the only Star Trek episode that I really remember as a little girl..."the Trouble with Tribbles!"



Not only are they fun to make, but they are a great way to use up the yarn you have left-over from past projects.

Check out this great rug on the ReadyMade blog made entirely out of yarn pom poms! I just want to dive into it, it looks so cozy!



There are many, many cheesy projects online that use pom poms, but this is by far the coolest. I don't think I have enough extra yarn in my stash yet to make something this big, but maybe someday I will give it a try! I often see whole aisles of left-over yarn at thrift stores as well, which is a great way to get a bunch of colors for small projects.
