Honestly is it not just a way to gather and contain clutter?
Please explain. I don't mean to be rude but it seems like a lot of bother for nothing.

I want to change careers by starting as a hobbyist woodworker, then transition it into a full-time profession. I'm 44 now and am wondering how much of a sense of urgency I need to have. If some of you are/were about my age when you started, I won't feel like I'm so far behind.

I don't believe they make them anymore, but I have one in perfect condition (green-colored glass) and I think it might be worth something. It's kind of bell shaped with threads on the inside. It also has the year on it. I believe they protected/insulated whatever is at the top of electrical poles.

I am planning to make a puppet head out of FIMO but want to check that I will be able to paint it with acrylics after it is dry. Otherwise it is back to papiermache!

I have a pair of jeans that I want to make low-rise. I want to alter the waist to make them sit lower on my hips. Is there a way to "cut" the top of a zipper and still have it work properly?

I love to decorate rooms, but I cannot do more of the house than I've already done. I just moved, and so I don't have any friends' rooms to decorate. Where is the best place to buy mini furniture? I'm going to make just little sample rooms because I want to be an Interior Designer when I'm older. What would be good (but not tacky or too difficult) for the room itself? Cardboard? Plywood? I know Michael's Craft Store has mini furniture, but I don't know who much I should pay for each piece. Please help me!

I am working with some children for a contest, and I wanted to create a "antique" looking certificate to be awarded to the top 3 winners together with their prizes.

1. Is there anyway I can "age" regular A4 size papers?

2. Someone suggested I use parchment paper, but the only parchment paper I know are those similar to Waxed Paper used for baking and doesn't look very ancient nor "antiquish" hehe... are there alternative non-animal papers I can use?

I'm looking to make purses but have found that many of the stores that I've been to like Walmart and Joann fabric don't seem to have what I'm looking for. I want designs that are vibrant and modern, yet don't cost a lot.

Today my roommate brought home a 1906 Silver Dollar, that looks worn and old. It has the Statue of Liberty on the front, says 'Liberty' and 'Ellis Island Gateway to America' on the front, with the date 1906, and on the back it says 'United States of America' and "GIVE ME YOUR TIRED YOUR POOR YOUR HUDDLED MASSES YEARNING TO BREATHE FREE". I searched for this on Ebay and couldn't find anything remotely like it. I searched on Google and found a commemorative coin made in 1986 that looks almost just like this, except that the coin from 1986 (which was a special commemorative coin) has an 'S' stamped on the front, where this one that I have has a 'P' stamped on it. I read somewhere on the internet that the U.S. mint did not make Silver dollars from 1905 through 1921. Does anyone know if what I have is really from 1906?
