Gardening: Leaving Calidium Bulbs in Ground during Winter

Just wondering if it's safe to assume that I can leave caladium bulbs in the ground during the winter if I've left tulip and daffodils with a return each year? I dug up all of the ...»

Guess I'll be digging up bulbs this fall! Thanks everyone!

please email me your request to happytires@homeattire.net. I'm having trouble capturing your emails. I think there may be a glitch with this post because of all the comments (complimenting glitch to have, I guess!). The words I'm typing aren't even showing up right now! (FYI: I have the instructions in an ebook on Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Turn-Fabulous--A-Kind-... and on Lulu at http://www.lulu.com/shop/home-attire/how-to-...). The instructions are as clear as I could write them and have worked for several people, but if you're not comfortable with directions that allow you to make your own crafty tweaks and creative interpretations along the way, they may not be for you. ~Nikki

I upcycled a 26" used tire into an Ottoman !!!!

around--that's one more tire saved from the landfills! Regarding the rubber smell, when I made the original tire ottoman back in August, in the heat of summer in "Hotlanta," there was a slight smell that diminshed quickly, but it was from the manila rope, not the tire. So, you shouldn't have any smell issues come next summer. Enjoy!

My Tire Ottoman is On a Roll!

Hi Everybody! Man, what a whirlwind this has been since I posted my tire ottoman idea. I know the power of Social Media, but wow! For those who have suggested and asked, yes, I have considered and have decided that I will be marketing my ottoman. Hopefully I haven't hurt the possibility of sales by sharing all the down and dirty how-to details with everyone. But, hey, generosity can only be rewarded, right? For all you DIYers, I know you can make your own, but for those not so ...»

I used Polyester braided rope - I still have to add the legs and some trim around the center piece.

Hi Phyllis, the directions in the Ebook are the same that were on the blog. It's on Lulu and ...»
Amazon. The Ebooks have distribution rights so you have to download a free version of Adobe to open them. I only put the rights on the books because I've had a few people comment on public sites that they were going to sell my idea (figured I might as well beat them to it). If you decide to get the book and have any issues, just send me a message here and I'll email them to you. Of the books I've sold, I've only heard from 3 people having problems downloading (or not wanting to download). Good luck with your ottoman if you decide to make one. I know you'll love it! Share pics if you make one!
