Fabulous ideas! I missed a few of these the first time they were posted. I love the bleach-painted top; have to try that. My husband's actually restoring an old bike right now. It's hunter green with red and gold accents--very cheery.

hand dyed tights for my lady friends. If I can't find white tights then I'll make scarves or somethin'. It's a mystery until I find the material to dye. Lol
