Peony petals

Peony Scented WaterI love my peonies, both their scent and visual beauty. I decided to save their scent for future days to enjoy! By putting spent petals in warm water and heating, you will release their lovely scent into the water. You can then use it as a face splash or room refreshener for months to come!

 

ripe raspberry

First RaspberrySome strange plants started creeping into my yard from the neighbors' yard a few years ago. We had no idea what the plants were. When the fruit came, we thought it looked like a raspberry. I took a chance and took a tiny bite.

Finding Source of Bad Smell?We painted our front room about 5 months ago, it has a concrete floor and brick walls. Ever since we have had a smell of cat pee. It is not constant, it comes and goes. It might be nothing to do with us painting, that may just be a coincidence. I have had my gas checked to make sure it wasn't that.

The next morning that outlet and the ones in the next 2 rooms would not work either. I checked with a meter to make sure it was safe and found out one of the wires was broken.

Sewing Machine Needle Keeps Falling Out?I am a novice seamster though I've not had this problem before now. I have a Singer Esteem II sewing machine that is just a few years old. I was sewing up some thick, pinned fabric the other night and broke the needle when it hit a pin. Now the replacement keeps falling out. I can't get it to stay in place.
