Christmas Ideas........Let's Share!

I think it was on that website I posted earlier in the thread, I will check my instructions when I get home later today and find the link. That site is so huge, you may never find it, LOL.

 

I found it with a search at the site: http://tipnut.com/kitchen-towel-tutorial/

 

That's it! Thanks!

 

Wouldn't you know it? The site is blocked from work, lol....

 

But I found this:

Very cute! I have one of those I bought in PA just so I could figure out how to make them. This is easier and cuter!

 

I have one to share - though it has nothing to do with gifts. First of all, thank you for the link to this website. Sunday night I pulled my Khaki pants out of the washer and to my horror, I found the bottom of my pant legs was covered with black spots - not jus a few but many big noticeable spots. I think my pants came in contact with the detergent. I had this happen in the past and had to throw the article of clothing out since I was not able to get the spots out. The other day, I was flipping through the website and there was a section on pre-treatments for stain removal. So last night, I thought I would stop and get the items I would need that were listed in the recipes. I found one comment under the recipes where a woman says she used straight peroxide -- so armed with my bottle of peroxide, I decided to give it a shot. I poured half the bottle of peroxide on the pant legs and let them soak for about an hour. When I went to check on the process, the stains were gone - every last one of them. Who would have thought that 40 cents worth of peroxide would take out the stains. Before trying this, I used spray and wish and lye soap - neither of which worked. Thank you, thank you, thank you for saving me some money and the aggravation of trying to find another pair of khaki's.

 

Spray and wish! I love it!!!

:jester:

 

You are so welcome! I have spent literally hours on that site, time well spent!!

 

If anyone else has problems with "grease" looking spots on clothes after washing with some fabric softeners, one thing that gets them out is the blue Dawn dish soap. Just pour it on and let it soak a few minutes.

The blue Dawn also gets rid of fleas on dogs!

yep yep....I have used it for years! works great!

 

geez that would stink to have fleas 8) I had dandruff one time but didn't try dawn.

 

that's a new one for me, thanks, gonna have to try it:hurray:

 

I can only imagine what the PM is going to say about you :jester:

 

You mean the one that he will compose himself and try to pass off... just like yours?

Wow, what are the odds... :lol: 0 for 2 right now.

 

That's the one....:lol:

 

Maybe I am in the wrong business, I should be forging PMs instead of art.

 

No please your art is such classic stuff, don't give it up, your good enough to do both.

 

Now there is an idea, illustrated PMs... Another great business venture, to go along with my invisible man and woman shirts.

 

I did take over your role as head board police officer so you will have the extra time on your hands :cheers:
