The Power of Ideas and the logic of recycling

No matter how productive I am, it NEVER seems enough.

The week is rapidly chuffing along and my compulsion to make stuff is scary. 
I'll temporarily pause my blabbing now and add a few pictures. They're always prettier than text..

Finally, a scarf holder that organizes your Favorites


BRILLIANT! Finally a decent looking and functional Scarf Holder


Set of Four Containers to house your Nik Naks

Lovely dovely collection to hold those little iddy biddy bits of whatever..
I have so many of them!

Lovely Key Holders - This Hopefully Stops you from Loosing Them
I cant tell you how many times Ive lost keys in my home.
I've desperately needed this little number for years.


There is more. But have a browse in the Ayliss store if you like.

Im excited about the wall mounted scarf hanger. There isn't much out there to help my fabric from becoming a hopeless bundled mess. So this unit really was made from necessity.

The timbers are recycled. Ive said this before but it gives me so much pleasure knowing that, before i came along with an idea, it was destined for waste. I tell you, rarely anything gets my goat more than seeing good stuff on the ready for the tip. ESPECIALLY beautiful hardwood from eras gone. Im talking chairs and tables made with oak and walnut. They just don't grow that stuff for chopping anymore.

Having said that, there is so much work involved in recycling. Its not just getting the timber in a reasonable state. The labor is in having the concept to begin - imagining an old dried up piece of board marred with nails and clogged with paint turning into something grand. And ideas are always about making something grand. If it weren't, you wouldn't do it. If you didn't have the tendency to believe you could turn water into wine, you seriously wouldn't get out of your car in front of a busy intersection and be watched by dozens as you bury yourself in a waste pile of muck to resurface with what you think is pure gold and others see as a broken off chair leg. Would you? Now that makes you look at my images a little differently hu?
