Muffin Case (Liner) Gift Bows

Now this is the neatest idea Ive ever seen. Cant wait to try this when I get back into crocheting. Wow! Tks so much.

Oval Embroidery Hoop Wreath
I think you may have opened a great opportunity to use embroidery hoops for wreaths, etc. As I looked at your wreath it was really nice. Maybe sometime it could be built up to cover the hoop with so many embellishments available to us now. Thanks for sharing

Value of Brinn Doll?
When I first retired in mid-85s, I got hooked on the doll collections sold on hsn.com. I bought several Brinn, Heritage, etc., and dont expect them to have become more valuable. So now I am taking these dolls, crocheting neat clothes for them, and hopefully...

Light on Top of Lighthouse?
Ive been making lighthouses out of clay pots since 85 and always used the regular solar lights for the top. Recently I did see on the internet where someone bought the lanterns but was going to use a candle with it. If you can find the solar lanterns that fit...

Update on Brother Sewing Machine
I had to chuckle when you mentioned the 3x5 card behind needles, but what we did then, most of us cant do now. I have recently purchased my embroidery machine which makes 4 total. It amazes me how many things are not explained when buying. Ive been really lucky...

Mnemonic For Password
I too have used a phone directory, but honestly, it becomes a pain to keep opening for the information. My opinion would be to use the password sentence alpha; type a list and attach to side of computer. I am also a loner now. Thanks for sharing all your ideas...

Keeping Track of Medications
Yes, I too mark my meds with a 1X for morning, 2X for twice a day, and B/T for bedtime. Wish I had thought of this 15 yrs ago. I do carry a list of meds, but this last doctor visit I handed him a folder with a contents page of why I was there/medications/bg...

Making a Grave Blanket?
I got curious because I plan to use silk flowers on my grave decoration idea, so I went to ask.com, and it specifically says deer dont like silk or plastic flowers, but they love real flowers so this Milltown cemetery put up a sign to not leave fresh flowers...

Making a Grave Blanket?
I would google.com your question. Since my hubby passed away in 2012 Ive been thinking I would like to cover our stone and my mothers by doing this: Measure the edges of the stone. Make a wire frame with wire prongs at each corner to keep from blowing away...

Use Both Ends Of Your Ironing Board
Yesterday I decided to try using my ironing board for folding dried clothes. I take all the clothes out of the dryer into a hamper-like basked and sit that next to my chair and fold on the ironing board, lay items to the side. If pile gets too high, I have...

Removing Oil Stains from Garage Floor?
From my previous experiences and suggestions, my boys say either vinegar solution or clorox should do the job. You may have to repeat a couple times. When you remove the problem, there is a neat sealer at Home Depot. My son rolled the paint and my dil spread...
