Wood Stove Recipes?We have a cast iron wood stove for heat (not the kitchen wood cook stove). I was wondering if anyone has any recipes for cooking on the top of the wood stove?
Cleaning Fabric on Old Furniture?We have been given a very old couch and loveseat set. The fabric is badly soiled. We used the upholstery attachment on our carpet shampooer with upholstery cleaner and it didn't really come out any cleaner.
Cleaning Painted Cement?Our back room has a cement floor that was painted. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to clean this? Products to use, etc. Just general mopping.
Asking Family To Not Exchange Gifts?We have a very big family. Gift giving gets very expensive with Christmas and all the birthdays, etc. We are trying to buy a house and our income in a lot less then others in the family. Is there a polite way to bring up the "let's not exchange gifts" conversation?
Patchwork Quilt Instructions?I love the tip submitted about making a quilt out of old clothing. I would love to make a quilt for my daughter out of some of her baby clothes. I know nothing about quilting though.
