Tip me Tuesday: Dual purpose Item

Tip me Tuesday  is the day I offer a tip or two because sometimes, the little tips make big differences! You will also find the occasional product review and recommendation here as well!

I love to sew but due to schedule, I don't sew as often as I would like, and I didn't have a good place to store my large fabric cutter grid, which is made from a heavy, bendable plastic.  One day, upon leaving it in the homeschool/play area, I passed back by to see my 11 year old son Timothy had found another use for it:

How genius is that? Now on the none sewing days, it is a puzzle board and great for those bigger puzzles that Timothy is now graduated to...Since the above picture was taken, I have seen Tim or all the kids around the board, working together, on a puzzle no less than a dozen times (and I no longer have guilt over where to store such a hard to store item).

I would love to hear some of your multi-purpose item ideas. Share them with all of us in the comments below.

Blessings,
