I found a site for woodworking. It's a site full of free plans for furniture building, mostly pottery barn knockoffs. She gives plans that can be done cheaply, with simple tools, and are fast working. Check it out……I am totally in love with the site!

Reusable Swiffer Duster Cloths made with flannel………found this via http://www.tipnut.com on my daily tip! I am making these! It says the more it's washed the better it works. I miss my swiffer duster as I won't buy the disposable dusters anymore.

They tell you NOT to wash disposable swiffers, (they tell you anything to make you spend more money!) but I rinse them through in warm water with a drop of washing up liquid in, then rinse in clear water and dry naturally. They do 'thicken' up but are quite useable for months. I only buy perhaps one pack a year. Alternatively I also use ordinary cotton dusters dropped into water with a tiny drop of fabric softner (I only buy a bottle about every 18 months – I don't use it in my washing) them wring out as dry as you can and damp dust. It picks up very well and helps to stop dust re-settling as it has anti-static qualities. I use the damp method for all surfaces, I only polish twice a year.

Here's a link for a pattern quite similar to the apron Suzanne wrote about today. The instructions are so well written that I could see actually making this!

Now a lot of you folks might already know about this, but I just found it. There is a website calledFreebies For Crafters and it has just hundreds and hundreds of crafts, craft patterns, BOM, just everythingyou can imagine-FREE. It has a list that lets you pick a category and then shows you all of the sites that havepatterns or crafts or whatever under that category. Your brain will just buzz there are so many wonderful and pretty websites to visit. Well, I was excited anyway. I am going to put the address below.(sorry, don't know how to link stuff yet) Just type this into your address bar and you will go to wonderful places. I hope this is the right place to do this, sorry if it's not. I really think you will enjoy going to look around. It's awesome!!

Thanks for that link CindyP! I'm thrilled to make my own covers……I bought one micro-fiber one (they're kinda pricey). This will be great! Thanks again!

The "toothbrush" technique was mentioned in another thread. Just ran into this tutorial, to give those who want to know about it. Sure looks easy!

Here's the link that cought my attention on this site. http://www.jonag.typepad.com/s…..yards.html
overall, I find this site is difficult to get around on … but once you get the hang of it, there's all kinds of itneresting things to check out. She's a funny person! Check out the Ironing Board tutorial too. She's pretty imaginative and seems to have a talent for figuring stuff out.
NOTE: To anyone who tries making this bias tape, that last pin-together sewing seam is MIND BENDING!!! But once you get it, it makes perfect sense. Square up all your edges carefully at the start and measure the 1 3/4 inch marks carefully too. It will really matter when you get to that last step. It WORKS though!!!

Well, being what this is and all, how many have done Chicken Scratch? You can Google it and see lots of examples under images (or, even better, cross stitch on gingham).
I am about to teach a class on it and made a couple web pages on it that really are step by step by step. It helps you figure out how to do it yourself and get creative!

If you have problems please let me know. I can add in more info if it is needed.

NICE! Wow I haven't done this since junior high (oops now called Middle School LOL). I have still have an apron that's yellow gingham with (I think) brown and white chicken scratch butterfiles….I need to find that!

I have wanted to do chicken scratch for a long time, never had the time while working and haven't thought of it recently. Now I am excited to see that you are teaching this. Gotta go get some gingham and floss and make an apron. Thanks WVHC.
