Waves CowlThis stitch pattern creates a unique wave pattern. It is perfect for alternating and showcasing 2 colors. This cowl best fits children.:)

 

Free or Discounted LaptopsI just read about a computer grant you can apply to. I saw it on interconection.org, they also have discount on computers. You all should go check it out and, no, I don't work for them. Thank you!

 

Corny CornbreadThis is the moistest cornbread I've ever made. Even my husband who hates cornbread loves this! Starts with a mix, add creamed corn, cheese, and peppers. Yummy!

 

Organizing BobbinsThis is a page about organizing bobbins. Keeping your bobbins organized for easy reuse can be an ongoing hassle.

 

Stretching Shoes With Hot WaterPut very hot water from your sink or tub tap into your boots. Let sit until you feel that you can place your foot in the boot without burning your foot. Wear the boot as much as possible. I usually have to do this procedure several times, but this works on all but rubber/plastic type footwear.

 

Desert Inspired Birthday CardGet your inspiration from the desert when making this birthday card, suitable for a man. Use colored sand, a small twig, and small pieces of tree bark and turn these into a unique artwork, reminiscent of the beauty of a desert. Definitely the type of card that a nature lover will appreciate!

 

Old Sweater MopheadUse an old sweater's arm for a perfect fit on your rectangular mop. I find acrylic sweaters to gather the most dust and gunk while leaving a nice shine. You can use them and wash them for reuse over and over.

 

Dude (Miniature Dachshund)I got him in mid-November 2015 from "All About Puppies" in Largo, Florida. He likes to meet new people (especially the ladies), cuddle, and chew on his rawhide bone!

 

Lattice Infinity ScarfThis is a feminine pattern for a lacy cowl. It will fit teen - adult.

 

Cat Peeing and Pooping On Bed?I have a Siamese snowshoe cat that is about 1 and a half years old. She is peeing on the blankets in the house, my brother's bed, and my parents' bed. The thing is she has never peed/pooped in my room. She won't stop going in those other places, but she is still using her litter box at the same time.

 

Priming and Painting Clay Flower Pots?Do you prime your flower pots before painting? I find with some colors I need to do multiple coats, not just 2-3, but more like 8-10 when using lighter colors that I want to cover most of the pot in. Do you recommend some sort of primer first?

 

What Is This Houseplant?I was recently given this seedling. I was told it is a Chinese good luck plant (not bamboo) and it looks a bit like a spindly busy lizzie. It has no smell and it is slow growing with no flowers so far. Anyone have any ideas? It might not even be a house plant as such.

 

Frigidaire Ice Maker Not Working?I have a Frigidaire side by side. I replaced the filter, I replaced the icemaker, I checked the water hose from pump to icemaker all clear, but there is still no ice. Any suggestions?

 

What Is This Houseplant?I've grown this plant indoors at work and at home, in several pots. It takes root very quickly, grows rapidly, and it doesn't need much maintenance, just water - not even sunlight. This one is about three months old. The plant in the pots at home (which are older) cascade down.

 

Chihuahua Coat Color?At what age does a Chihuahua get it's adult coat color? I was told that my Chi is about a year old, and now the color is changing from a beautiful all white to a beautiful white and tan pattern with what looks like it could even have some striking darker tan patterns emerging.

 

What Is This Houseplant?I brought this plant with no label. Can anyone identify it please?

 

15th Birthday Ideas?I am turning 15 on March 6th, 2016 and I have no ideas on what to do. I know it is only January, but it takes along time for me to plan and to get everything verified. I have thought about inviting 7-8 people over to hang out, watch a few movies, and eat snacks, but so many people have been doing that lately.
