| RE: Sewing Christmas Gift Ideas For Beginner |
I love to sew with polar fleece. It is not always cheap but you can often find blankets, hats and scarves to embellish at $1 and discount stores.
For the blanket you can sew on a square of cloth at the top the size of a pillow in the middle for a quillow. You can then fold the blanket in toward the pillow and fold it up and put it in the pillow. You can also make neck rest for car seats or scented pillows. Polar fleece hats are $1 at my local dollar store. you can embellish them with sequins, fabric paint or cat, bunny,dog, ears which is all the rage with preteens and teens into Annamae(sp?) My daughters hat is a walrus and she is 16! Also big with kids this year are ugly dolls, look on line they are easy to make.
I am making my newly adopted nephew a lavender and barley hull stuffed bunny to calm him. See if you can get scraps of fleece on your local freecycle or at the thrift shop.
fleece is fun and easy to use! ... View related article. |

We used to use silica to dry them out, like you use to dry out flowers. We'd get it at craft stores, they even have food grade. Anything very dried out won't look as pretty. Also try covering the whole orange with cloves till it dries then remove some the cloves preserve it. ... View related article. |

| RE: Frugal Christmas Gifts For Teens |
HI,
We have a tradition of pajamas for my kids x-mas eve. They are Christmas theme and often picked out before hand by them. The girls especially love the anticipation the boys, now that they are older get a hoody because that is what they love. We open them and all put them on Christmas eve, we stay up till mid night. Sometimes it is a robe instead. What they remember the most is the anticipation, the smells of home made baked goods, Christmas dinner and boiled fruit punch, the Christmas Ivy and tree.

The safest thing and quick is a table spoon of oil and for daily maintenance of fresh ground flax seed or flax oil ( more costly). Dogs like and can eat carrots and other veges for fiber. DO NOT give doggy anything with xylitol as a sweetener. It is poisonous to dogs.
