Hobbies & Crafts - November 2007

Hi, Could anyone tell me what sizes of crochet hook, knitting needle & yarn to buy to make a simple scarf. Skill level : Beginner with no experience. I have joined a class which will begin in the last week of November. The college catalog says " That students should bring their own crochet hook, knitting needle & yarn" for the first day of the class.Since i have no clue on this, i decided to post my question here. Thank you for your time & response. :)

I love making the tri beaded and pipecleaner ornaments! Does anyone have any idea where I could findpatterns for these? Any other ideas besides dough & clay ornaments? I hate making those because they're too time consuming, and very messy. I need quick and easy. Like 5 min. a ornament. Also any good places to buy beads besides oriental trading?

My daughter has outgrown many of her shirts. While I am donating most of them to Goodwill there are some that have very cute images on them. I would like to cut out the front of the shirt and do something with it. Any ideas would be much appreciated.

Every book, website and professional says that after sealing the dollhouse and painting the interior with white flat paint you wire the dollhouse. After wiring the dollhouse you finish the exterior (clapboard, paint, trim shingles, porch railings, exterior windows and doors, foundation etc.) then you come back and finish the interior (wallpaper, carpet, ceiling and flooring). Okay ... why?

I just want to know if there is a specific reason as to why it's done this way. Wouldn't it make more sense to finish the exterior, wire the dollhouse then finish the interior? I mean you should work on the outside and complete it then work on the inside and complete it right? What if I wire my dollhouse (tape-wire) and while I'm finishing the exterior the tape-wire adhesive becomes slack and it starts to curl or begins to peel off? Does that ever happen even when using brads or eyelets? I just wanted to know before I start wiring my dollhouse.

I love doing crafts, but don't live by any craft stores or have any money to buy supplies. All the crafts I find online need supplies I don't have. Do you know any fun crafts with supplies most people have?

P.S. I'm a 12 year old girl.

What Features should I look for ?

I think this time I DEFENETLY want automatic threading since I had a previous issues with my previous sewing machine (SINGER MODEL 1725 ) Where the bobbin was on the side of the machine and it was upright .I'd also like something affordable not outrageous.

I'd like to sew with denim .

I'd like to make shirts and shorts

I'm going to fashion design school so i'd need something durable

Some of the issues I had with my other machine were
Threading it was very difficult for me to thread my machine .
I also had bobbin issues I was told by a person on this site that I needed to melt it with fire because it was very lose.That is what she had to do to make hers work I just don't want to do that .

I've been collecting for years and over time I've collected a wide variety of antiques from books to ceramics even jewelery, I really need to sell some of it since some hard times have hit home. I would like to know how to find buyers that will be fair with the prices. I'm not looking to get rich but I'm also not willing to let the stuff go for pennies. I've heard mixed feelings about ebay and would rather not go threw all that.
Any suggestions or interests please contact me jonikins2000@yahoo.com THANKS 4 your time

We are talking about something collectible, that can be traded... the kids love it!.... if parents and/or authority figures are encouraging kids to check it out, because they also think it is a great product, how might the kid's feelings about the item change, if at all?
