6. that's a bit of a fuzzy topic...

[seveneyes]

10. Fuzzy requires vagueness

This is complicated, but well worth the effort to be distinguished ...

7. So glad to see you DO have goals in life, rug.

I have a piece of lint.
It follows me everywhere.

Oh sure it looks plain and simple,
But I handle it with care.

I found it on my dashboard
While driving the other day.

It looked at me with its gray eyes
And asked if it could stay.

I was going to clean off the dashboard
And make the lint go away,

But I didn’t have the heart
To turn it into a stray.

Now my piece of lint
Is grateful.

It is honestly true blue.
It follows me to work,

And it follows me to school.
Now many of you will laugh and smirk.

Quite frankly that’s okay.
For honestly, how many people own a piece of lint
That follows you everyday?

(found on the inter tubes.....)

17. spin it into yarn

1. Spin it (like wool) into thread and use it to knit or crochet something fabulous. Here's a great little video introducing the spinning process.

2. Use it to make fire starters. This is a recycling two-fer, as you can stuff lint into sections of old toilet or paper towel rolls or you can go DIY crazy, and do the cardboard egg carton and melted paraffin route.

3. Use it to make clay. The recipe can be found here.

4. Make art out of it. Before you scoff, check out Studio Capezzuti.

5. Make paper or paper mache paste out of it.
