Crochet stuffed animals... who would have thought?

wiccania @wiccania (3360) • United States 18 Oct 10

Have you tried this yet? Those of you who crochet (or knit), that is. Making stuffed animals. Mom had a book of patterns, so I thought I'd try a few to see how they came out and if my son liked them. I also thought that I'd try...

GhostCat I crocheted some stuffed animals for some nieces & nephews years ago. I don't know how the kids liked them, but their mothers didn't care for them (weren't posh enough for them) & the stuffed animals did not stay in their houses for long. I stopped making...

enciel @enciel (368) • Philippines 10 Oct 10

Just curious, I have been around here in mylot for several months already. And well I haven't reached the minimum 10 dollar. Most tasks here only rewards US citizens so I guess I'm not that lucky with it. I am currently on 6$...

GhostCat I have been on MyLot for around 2 years, and have yet to get to a pay out, just figuring roughly, posting only (I have never done any of the tasks), it would take posting for a minimum of 8 hours a day for 15 to 20 days to reach a pay out. If you are looking...

GhostCat We had bed bugs when I was a child. But they seemed to be in only one room in the house, the room I shared with y sisters. It took my folks a long time to get rid of them, but they were not able to hire a professional exterminator. It was very uncomfortable...

Is your keyboard as dirty as a toilet seat???

kar295rocks @kar295rocks (2116) • India 21 Mar 10

Yes, it is not a pun but a head to head comparison between a keyboard and a toilet seat. Well, BBC said that the consumer group Which? said tests at its London offices found equipment carrying bugs that could cause food...

GhostCat Don't use cottonbuds to clean any part of a computer. Please use something lint free. It is not good for computers, even keyboards to have lint around them, the lint can sneak in around the keys and mess up the workings of the keyboard & it it is a laptop the...

GhostCat If you take a look at any keyboard, you will notice that they get very dirty. No one I know washes their hands before using a keyboard. I try to clean off my keyboards at least as often as I clean the screen. When I worked in an office where I had to share a...

GhostCat It has been said that family are the people who have to take you in when you are in trouble or have no where else to go. Which I think pretty much defines family. In the United States we have various configurations of families, but they are the people you can...

Removing Fabric Paint From A Cloth.......

nimesh @nimesh (1) 24 Jun 06

I had painted a bed sheet with Fabric Colours. At some points there are paint stains. Kindly suggest how to remove Fabric / Acrylic Colour Stains from my bed sheet? - Thanks

1 response

GhostCat If I understand this correctly. You painted a bed sheet, however there are paint stains on the sheet where you did not want painted. It may be difficult to remove such paint from only part of the fabric. Also, I am not sure how all fabric paint works, but much...

JenInTN @JenInTN (27514) • United States 11 Feb 10

I was coming home from work today and was surprised to see more litter than usual along the side of the road. I normally don't see a lot which is probably why it stood out so much to me. I think it may because of the weather we...

What's worse, having no computer for six months or the end of the world?

jer31558 @jer31558 (3683) • United States 13 Apr 09

About six months ago our computer crashed, maybe crashed is not the best word, perhaps power surge and smoking computer (literally) would be better. With the economy being like it is, it took some time to save up for another one....

GhostCat I think people's tastes in books tend to change over time and sometimes with what is happening in the world. I tend to favor 18th & 19th Century British literature, with a little contemporary drama thrown in for a good mix. But I frequently find myself reading...

GhostCat I wouldn't worry too much about socialism. It probably won't hurt the US if it brings back a few more of the social safety nets Reagan got rid of, but it is unlikely we will get anywhere close to real socialism even if we do develop universal health care. We...
