Mini Love Banjo
That is so adorable! Also I like how it only takes a few items to make it, and that it looks so simple to make.
Keeping Snowfall Off Bird Seed
BTW, I also realize it will keep the rain off this spring as well! I am deciding though, I may remove it since this is my potters bench and put it back up for winter again, I already have hanging feeders that we improved by buying thing that would make a dome...
Beautiful Birds
Beautiful birds, glad it ended well. I have suncatchers on my windows and I think that really helps the perception that is is open space outside, so they do not try to fly through. I love birds, I am an avid feeder going broke over it almost, and years ago...
Yellow-headed Blackbird
Such a gorgeous bird! I belong to a bird group on Face Book for Birds of Nebraska and love seeing all the pictures people take in my state. I suppose there are bird groups for other states on Face Book. Thanks for the pretty picture.
Bringing My Memorial Petunias In for the Winter?
I brought mine in (Omaha, N.E zone 5) about 3 weeks ago. They are in a container, in the dark garage, cool but not cold. I do a very minimal watering once a week. They are actually blooming in the garage right now. I did this last year with geraniums and took...
Enter Contests to Win Prizes
I entered a grocery store contest and won a cutting board valued at $55. It has 4 slide out oblong containers with lids to store what you chop, the cutting board has a hole where you push the chopped veggies into those containers. I use it all of the time, we...
Chocolate Cowboy Hats
What a creative mind to come up with this. It is absolutely creative, so darn cute! Just love it!
Hidden Medicine Cabinet
What a smart idea! I love it because many bathrooms just have a small medicine cabinet that you have to jam pack what you can into it. You have a great place to put it on the back of the door in the laundry room, and it looks like it is easy to find what you...
Finding My Sister
Your awesome story had me smiling and happy for you! You have some lost time I am sure you will lovingly make up! Amazing how quickly Virgo could get it done!
Making A Difference
I respect the planet! Just yesterday I saw a grocery bag that was in my neighbor`s yard (no one lives there) and I got it and put it in my pile to take to the grocery bag recycle box. My husband bought 2 of those long stick retractors made for picking up trash...

Nice! We have to save all the bees we can. I had them all over my hummingbird feeder so I made more so they could enjoy! Thanks for beeing (lol) bee friendly!
Mr. Red (Hummingbird)
Mr. Red, how cute you named him! I saw one last year at my feeder just a handful of times. They say they come back to the same feeder the next year. The feeder is out there, same place. Have not seen the bird, but that does not mean he has not visited, so I...

Honey Hair Treatment
No, these packet are what works best, even better than coconut oil. I like the packets because I use to buy a honey bear dispenser and it would all turn hard before I could use it and was a nuisance to melt. So the packets apparently have enough honey to soften...
Honey Hair Treatment
No mess, you just rub it in with your conditioner, honey is a natural moisturizer and to me so much less expensive than all those Frizz Ease and overpriced hair products that do not work well. It rinses out quite easily. I have wasted money on plenty of hair...
Give Living Gifts
I rooted one about 8-9 years ago, it is now a huge giant. Very lovely, but give it a spacious sunny area. I did what I should not do, bent a branch down from the main tree and clipped into the dirt, it took root and I should of planted it but left it where...

What a simple but smart idea you came up with, what a cute timesaver!
Brush Pile Bunny
My husband cut down a cedar fir type tree and the limbs are all in a pile until we rent a wood chipper to make mulch, there are baby bunnies under there! Sadly my 2 dogs and 2 cats want to catch them, so far so good they run good. Anyway I told my husband when...
DIY Piñata
Very clever, very simple! I know it saved you big bucks, we sold these at a store I worked at and they were so darn expensive, plus who knows how old the candy inside them was since they were not fast sellers.
Feeding a Picky Dog?
Could it be a chewing problem? Some pets will not eat some foods that hurt already aching teeth. And other than what answers your got previous this is all I can think of to suggest.

I do not have an answer, but did you know crows are very smart? They are capable of facial recognition and hold grudges so do not be too mean!

Do not know where you live, I am in Omaha, N.E and they always have a ad on t.v for Aspen Dental that says no insurance, no problem we take payments.
Curtain and Accent Pillow Color Advice?
I think yellow curtains and pillows would be a nice color pop. I just love navy with yellow or gold.
Dessert in a Jif
I made as directed but added a bit of mayo to improve the moisture of the cake. And someone asked about the frosting, powder sugar, butter vanilla and milk, the basic powder sugar frosting. So with just a bit of mayo and the small size of the cake I do feel...
Pet Gate to Keep Dog out of Cat Area
The Pomeranian has never been able to get through, it has been up 2 years, I am going to go take a picture now, forgot to mention my husband did do a simple rigging to make the entry smaller, can`t believe I forgot to say that! I will go take the picture now...
My Bullmastiff Is Scared of Husband's Sneezing?
No answer here, but when my husband coughs (not sneeze) it really really hurts my ears, dogs can hear so much better than us so I suppose it may be hurting your dogs ears.

Dog Pees and Poops on Floor When Left Alone?
I have a 8 year old Pomeranian and she could of just recently came in after being out a good amount of time and pee on the floor. What I finally did to save my wood oak floors and keep my house not to smell bad was go to Amazon and buy fabric washable with...
Keeping Bees Away from Hummingbird Feeders?
I got so frustrated with this very issue and I ended up buying 4 more feeders and put them in different areas and still had bees but not as many in one spot so the hummingbirds had a chance at least. So basically I decreased the masses in each area. Linda H...

Check Your Receipt for Incorrect Charges
Oh you are so right! Out of habit if things were rung up faster than I could watch the screen I review the receipt before I leave the store and it is still fresh in the cashiers mind and I am still at the store and it can be remedied. Just last week I was charged...
Clip Curtains Closed
We think alike, on my bedroom windowsill I keep clothespins for that very reason. And I also have snoopy cats that love to peek out windows, so now they just go peak out another one in another room. Linda H. Omaha, N.E
Clip Curtains Closed
I started doing it in the spring a few years back because I sleep with the windows open and the breeze would blow them open and my room is one the second level and the bed in front of the window, I just felt it was easy to see me from street level, I never...

Kitchen Implements Organized
I have no situation with them getting dusty or greasy, maybe because I use spatter screens and use my kitchen tools often, even if any got dusty a quick rinse would work, my system works fine for me.
Starting Seeds in the Snow
You can do a Google search as well winter sowing milk jugs and see step by step and tips on what seeds to grow.
Organizing Seeds
I am very impressed, it is a very neat organized solution, however the question I have is : is there concern over the collection of seeds getting old and not viable? I imagine to plant them all in a season takes a lot of land. Or maybe my question should be...
Removing Stains in a Kitchen Sink?
I would get a sponge saturated with 3% hydrogen peroxide and let it sit on the stain, at least a good half hour or more. Then I would use a magic eraser. If the sink is porcelain you could rub the stain with a pumice stone, a pumice stone sure cleans my toilet...
Cleaning Kitty Litter Off Shoes?
A used toothbrush, perfect size to get into the groves of your shoes and knock out the litter rather it is dry or compacted. I have 3 cats and plenty of cat litter on the floor, but if you are talking about damp cat litter there is nothing special, just use...

Very nice, your work looks lovely!I use to also from time to time I use to do these plates years ago and sell them in a craft store on commission, I use to do a variation at times by gluing a doily on the back, been so long I don`t recall if I painted the plate...

If the right size stack them individually in those plastic berry boxes that have lids.

Whoops, someone already told you this one, I should of read ALL the answers, sorry!
13 Birthday Party Ideas?
I would take a poll from all the kids and take it from there. they may have great ideas that you and the birthday teen can select from. This way you can hear direct from the teens and what they think is fun.
What Breed Is My Dog?
I agree that it looks like a adorable dachshund, my daughter in law has two and this puppy looks like theirs to me. Congrats on the new addition! So sad about the mama though.
Christmas Door Hanger as Gift Decoration

Re-dyeing Hair?
In my opinion I would wait at a minimum of 3 weeks, the pros suggest 4 weeks. It also depends on how healthy your hair is. If it was me I would wait since your hair is not a wild horrible color. I would also do a real good conditioning after the second dye...
Japanese Anemone
I bought one this spring at my local nursery, I bought it for shady conditions with a bit of morning sun and wanted something tall. I am o.k with it being invasive because it has room to multiply. Mine is still pretty new so has not bloomed ever yet.
Viewing the 2017 Solar Eclipse
I live in Nebraska, and sadly read it will be the worst place to see it due to cloud cover! And many other states will be cloudy, the only exceptions with clear skies are Oregon and Idaho.
Viewing the 2017 Solar Eclipse
Here in Nebraska the threat of clouds did not happen, here in Omaha where we live we watched but wish we had drove to Lincoln, Omaha was 98% and that was enough to make it look like 7:30 at night but did not get all dark like Lincoln and Beatrice.
Removing Brown Hard Water Toilet Stains?
A pumice stone, I got really hard brown deposits removed using a good old pumice stone, which you can buy cheap at any hardware store, and it lasts a long time. My toilet looks new now!
Reducing Grubs In Lawn And Garden
I really enjoyed reading this, so entertaining, well written. It sure held my interest. When I do my gardening and find grubs I put them on the podium feeder or on the ground in an aluminum pie tin for the birds. Grubs are so disgusting in appearance!
Prescription Bottles for Storing Flower Seeds
Love the idea, but my personal experience is after the winter months I opened the RX bottles in the spring and the seeds were moldy....that was my bad, so just adding to the tip to make sure you dry out the seeds before putting them in the bottle or moisture...
Growing Mandevilla
I have pretty red ones in a pot, brought it in last winter and put in the garage, put back out in the spring, took it awhile, but around last week of July fully bloomed.

Hang Toothbrush in Metal Medicine Cabinet
Mine are in my cabinet like this, but mine is wood so I used screw in cup holders. For metal you can buy cup holders with a magnet base. You are so right, hide that brush from the nasty elements and away from the toilet!
Getting Rid of Potty Odors from Dogs in the House?
I agree, Nature`s Miracle from Petco works. Our tenants had 3 dogs and urine stink left behind. In our case we folded back the carpet to see if it penetrated and it did, the carpet and padding. We tore out the carpet and mopped the wood floors with the N. Miracle...
Making Homemade Suet Cakes for Birds
I work at a grocery store and buy damaged jars of peanut butter cheap. For the past 3 years I have been making suet, I make about 10-12 cakes at a time. I have 10-12 plastic containers from the past I have saved to use over and over. I refrigerate mine, and...
