Creative Block

Knife blocks.  They aren’t just for knives anymore.

OK, this one is still for knives.  But it looks a lot better than it did when it started! From Ronja at Nur Noch.

Cute right? And now lets talk about other uses for knife blocks:

– Firewood

– Door-stopper

– Yoga Blocks (advanced yogis only)

– Makeshift car jack

– Fun game of Catch the Knife Block

– Weapons to fend off intruders if all of your knives happen to be in the dishwasher

Or, if you would rather have a “good” idea that “makes sense” and is “practical” then here’s one from Serena at Thrift Diving.

That is pretty great.  Crayon and craft storage! Such a genius idea. I would make one and fill it with pens and call it Writer’s Block, and give it to my author friends.  I don’t have any author friends.  But if I did, I would.

    Serena is a re-use guru/genius and I’m so glad to see this very clever project featured on your blog, Lindsey! Use what you have and improve on it. And having it that luscious blue doesn’t hurt, either!

    So weird! I was literally at Goodwill yesterday thinking, “Every time I come here I see a bazillion cheap knifeblocks….I wonder if anyone has thought of a way to re-purpose them?”. Then I log into your site as usual, and bam–this is here!
