Hobbies & Crafts - December 2006

Hi everyone! I have a lot of semi-old figurines I made out of polymer clay. They were a lot of work but I haven't finished them yet and so they're not baked. They've been sitting around on my shelf for a few months now. I was stupid enough not to cover them up before I put them aside so now they're covered in dust.

Do you have any ideas (from people who've actually had experience with this!) how I can get the dust off without ruining the delicate form of the figurines? I thought of washing them but I figured it might ruin the clay..
Help!!

I have wanted to learn how to sew for a long time, but never bought a sewing machine. I was afraid not to be able to teach myself and have it sitting in a corner collecting dust. Now I am taking a class and am planning on buying one soon. I was wondering if you have any advice on sewing machines. Also, I would be interested to know whether you get good use out of yours and what kinds of projects you use it mostly for (home decorating, new clothes, adjustments, repairs, etc...). Thank you for your input!

These first day covers are US stamps on an envelope with a cachet. They are also addressed with my name and address.
The postmark on the stamp is the first day that stamp was put on the market. There is a card which details the origin of the stamp, the artist who drew the stamp, and a history of the stamp.

Im currently in Philadelphia and I don't know if there any stores around here that sell neon Miller Lite or Budweiser beer signs. That would be ideal because then I wouldn't have to pay shipping, which on EBAY seems to be about $99 for most signs. I really want to get my boyfriend one for Christmas but it seems to be unaffordable. Help please!

I was at my office doing my Christmas cards and I used the postage machine there. (.39 cents). I was wondering, if for any reason something got returned would they return it to my return address or track the stamp (from the postage machine) and return it to there?

I have seen this yarn going for amazing deals on eBay, and I was wondering if it is worth it. I have heard good and bad things about it, but I want to know specifically what the good and the bad things are.
