Its late in the evening and I am about to leave for "Percy Jackson and the olympians "......so that's my thing today.
Thing a day - 11
Hand woven i-pod pouch.
Check out this tutorial video.
I cannot believe I actually weaved...!!! The process was magical.
Finally something to save my i-pod from more scratches.
Thing a day -10
I know this is late, but it was completed yesterday, it was just too late to post. And I was super tired.
This is my first COMPLETED knitting project. Clearly this was not done in 30 min. but it was my yesterday's thing.
I have been trying to knit on and off since last 1 year. Finally it all made sense, and I could finish something.
Yippie... imagine the possibilities.
Thing a Day 9
Bird garland made from recycled paged.The book was anyways on its way to recycling. So I just tore some pages.The only thing I made sure was that the pages I use for this project are slightly thick.
Thing a day 8
Thing a Day 7
Art work made out of junk mail.
And incase you are wondering why do I always use the flower punch, well its the only punch I own.
Also I am happy with my camera now, all I had to do was take a q-tip and clean the lenses.
Thing a day - 5
Recycled notepad, with cover
I have to say I don't suffer from doodling, but I enjoy every minute of it. There are times when I feel that my hand is possessed, and it just does not stop. After doodling some important notes, diaries and some official reports I decided to make a notepad dedicated to doodling.
This notepad is glued together. Though nothing beats the romance of hand sewing a beautiful notebook, but time and my energy was a constrain.
This sits in this card broad cover. Its not glued or anything. So when I am done with this one, I will keep the cover and just make another notepad.
Did I mention the paper I have used here is, actually a victim of accidental hit of "Print" button, and by the time I hit "Cancel" the printer would have spit out a couple of pages. Yeah I have been collecting such victims for a while.So basically the paper has one plain side.(I call it liquid) .The only thing I made sure that the paper does not contain sensitive/confidential information.

On a side note, when I view my a/c in posterous, it only shows two posts for day 1 & 3, I have lost my other three posts. What's going on..? Any help/suggestion will be appreciated.
Thing a Day-4
Recycled magazine coasters
You can find an awesome tutorial to make these here.
Ever since I came across this tutorial, I wanted to make these. For me the most compelling projects are those which need no new raw materials, in short I loove recycling projects.
I guess these turned out pretty well, and while I was making these, I saw the movie "The Ugly Truth"...umm it was alright.
So far I have made a couple, I guess I will make at least 4 more.
Thing a Day - 3
So this time its a tissue paper box turned into a plastic bag dispenser.
Its a cleaver idea, which was NOT originally thought by me. I just goggled it around, and tried it.
Though I genuinely try to carry a tote bag, while I am doing grocery, but then there are times I forget :|
Though it did not turn out like I wanted it to, the whole thing was done is a hurry, but still serves its purpose. It will help me so much to control the mess around the house.
Also the quote written on it is picked up from a t-shirt or some tote bag. I just wrote it, because I really like it.
