My local dollar shop is trying to get rid of an excess stock of drinking straws so they're on sale for 25 cents per box. I decided to use them to make decorative starbursts for my birthday party. They give quite the visual punch for a few pennies!

The year started rough for me. Too much workload remained from my last year's backlogs. This has made me confused. To be able to recover from such confusion and get back into focus, I created a daily work scheduler so I will know which ones to touch first and get back on track without pressure.

Protecting Heirloom Needlework
My late mother-in-law made me a lovely piece of needlework, but it had to be laundered quite often. I was worried about the wear and tear on the piece, so I found an old metal frame with glass that fit the frame and hung the piece.

Water Floral Arrangement with Straw
By Deborah S.
When I receive beautiful flower arrangements, my first thought is "How am I going to water this without getting water all over the table or tablecloth that it sits on." In fact, it worries me so much I don't water them as often as I should. All you need to do is save your plastic straws. Insert one of the straws into the floral form and pour the water through it. No more water on the table and it's easy enough that you can do it every day until the flowers need to go out to the compost pile! Works on all floral arrangements. If your hands are shaky, use a smaller glass to pour the water into the straw.

You have a great old wool sweater that you just love and can't part with. But it is too small, has holes in it, and accidentally was washed and shrunk. You make it into a purse that you can carry with you everywhere.

This Week's QuestionsAdjusting the Tension on a Singer Merritt 2404I have just bought one of the above machines at a yard sale. I don't know what all the dials mean. It worked at first, but is now making bad stitches. The front of the stitch is OK, but the back has loose loops, they are not gripping the fabric. If I pull one end of the thread the whole thing comes out.Singer Sewing Machine Not Picking Up the Bobbin ThreadI have a Singer Patchwork sewing machine. The spool of thread ran out. I put a new spool on. I checked to make sure everything is threaded properly, but still the bobbin thread will not come through. Could the timing of the gears go out of sync when I ran out of thread? How do I fix this or do I need to take it to a repair shop?Finding Donated Fabric for Charity ProjectSinger 9810C Bobbin Winder Not LockingI have a Singer 9810c sewing machine. The bobbin winder is not locking. Even if I set it up to wind it won't keep the winder in the right position. How do I solve this problem?Sewing Machine Not Catching Bobbin ThreadBobbin Won't Wind on Kenmore Sewing MachineThe bobbin on my Kenmore sewing machine won't wind on the machine. The motor works, but the bobbin will not turn. I have to wind my bobbin by hand. Everything else works fine on the machine. Is this something I can fix or do I have to take my machine to a repair shop?ThriftyFun Contests!This newsletter is powered by you! Below are the active contests on ThriftyFun...
