How To Play The ViolinThis article gives the essential basics for how to play the violin. Generally violins are quite commonly available instruments and it is reasonably easy to rent or buy a violin. Children may need smaller violins (from an eighth, quarter, half, three-quarters, seven-eighths up to full size) to accommodate smaller hands if they are going to be learning over an extended period.

 

Craft for First BirthdayQuilt together enough pieces of material for 2 sides to a bear. You just want the shape of it no nose, no attached arms,etc. Work with newpaper till you get the shape you want. Cut, sew and stuff with polyfil. If you had some discarded baby clothes which belonged to her that would be a sweet keepsake. Also let guests sign it. (I'm SENTIMENTAL!) Also buy a $1 small photo album and cover with the same patchwork print. Hot glue the cover on. Dollar Trees sell crafters foam in shapes, flowers, letters etc. Make this a MY FIRST BIRTHDAY album. Wish I'd thought of this for my childrens 1st birthday.

Not Seeing My Feedback on ThriftyFunI am new with computers, I love reading all these great ideas! It's hard to believe that so many normally discarded things can actually be used.

Homemade Wedding Cake TopperDollar Tree stores carry a lot of wedding items in early spring to June. Many times you can find a base with lace on it from Wilton. Cut a ball of styrofoam in half and hot glue onto base. Clip artificial flowers short and arrange on the foam base.Make a small bow and let the end hang longer to sort of drape over the side of the base.Maybe net behind the flowers. This would probably cost $20- $30 if store bought. OR you can use a small pringle or crisco lid and glue lace around the side.You can also find leaves,bells arches etc from Wilton at Dollar Trees. LOVE THOSE STORES! Sharon, Ky

 

How Do You Get Clay Cat Litter Out of the Toilet?Hi all! Well my husband made it home safe and we just moved into the new place. Unfortunately he thought that "scoopable" and "flushable" cat litter were the same thing. So now the toilet is clogged. How do we get the clay litter out and get the toilet unclogged? Thanks everyone. Suzanne S. from NJ
