ones do you consider hard?I like wreaths, as long as you have the right materials and all the things you need laid out, they're not too bad. I've made different kinds. I don't think a yule log of the drill some holes and put candles in a birch piece of log would be too bad. I asked a friend about kissing balls and she said they are really, really hard. So what kind do you make an...

Is it just the 4 of them? Are they going through tough times? Do they have a small house? I would think they would have their parents and their kids. Since my parents died, just us kids get together. So I don't know. My grandparents, 3 were dead before I was born and the last one died when I was 10. We never did the extended family thing because we don't have children (when my generation dies, ...

I guess it depends on how much you need, what you've done so far, and how fast you need the money. If it's a few hundred dollars, you might be able to borrow it from someone and your husband could work it off. I have three part-time jobs and I'm not sure how I'm paying my brother's last tax money at the end of the month. He rents from me because he has a disability, but they divided the taxes i...

It's quite the skill, esp. to keep from having streaks, bubbles, stay inside lines, etc. I've tried a few times, I'm afraid I'm limited to tempera paints on paper. We have many diabetics in my family. There are some wonderful diabetic recipes online and some duds. Good luck in your future business. The local Small Business Administration in your area is the best (if you're American) at h...

That sounds really well organized, the way you do it, and like you end up with some really cool stuff. I like projects that are from nature or recycled, so your projects sound wonderful to me!

Too bad you don't live around here, 3 weeks ago, our local elementary school sold a kiln. After you bought it, you could rent it out, too. I also know another person who has a kiln. At least I think you meant can't find a kiln to fire it anymore. Try yellow pages under ceremics. There is usually an instructor with a kiln there, or pottery and you may find an instructor with a kiln. Also your lo...

That sounds wonderful, if you make one, I hope you're able to put a picture online. Yes, people have a lot going on these days. Love the name, always telling my husband, "Cats still think they should be worshipped like they were Gods in Egypt you know."

That sounds absolutely wonderful. I bet the garland came out beautiful. Mini kissing balls would probably be not as hard to find places to store them as other ones. Neat ideas, maybe I'll make some small ones. Thanks and take care.

That all sounds wondeful. Love the recycle aspects, too. Painting isn't easy for me, brush strokes are easily seen. Crochet isn't easy for me, either. But I think that's part of what is wonderful, we each do what we're good at and it creates a wonderful variety of decorations, no one has exactly the same.
