Hobbies & Crafts - November 2007

I am going to put in red marbles with messages in a large heart shaped glass container. Each message is something about her that I love about her. I'm going to present it to her like it's my heart.

I'm having problems finding little message containers(like maybe openable marbles?). Little message containers not much bigger than a marble though if not a marble.

Any help would be appreciated!! :)

So I have this lamp with a red base and white shade. I got it when I was five to go with my rainbow wallpaper, red gingham curtains, and Rainbow Brite bedding. But I digress.

Over the years, my room has changed but my lamp hasn't. It's been ok because my room was very unique. Now I'm away from home and I want to put this lamp in my living room next to the couch. However, the red really doesn't go with the color scheme of the room. Is there some sort of primer I can use on it or special paint I can use so it won't chip off? I think the lamp base is some sort of glass or ceramic.

I have this really nice large glass vase. It was an unusual centerpiece at a wedding I went to. From what I can tell, the bride covered regular long glass vases (for sunflowers or other long plants) and covered them in numerous pieces of blue glass/plexiglass/plastic, giving them that crackle over plain glass look I've seen on a lot of vases in stores. At the wedding, they had these little led keychain lights, almost like keychains, lighting the vases (as well as strategically placed candles nearby), but the LEDs burn out and the candles aren't practical every day.

Also from the wedding are these beautifully branches painted silver that are held in the vase. With proper soft light, these silver branches would like really beautiful. I'd like to find a permanent soft light to create a glow (preferably blue) emanating from the vase, but without wires or constantly replacing batteries. What sorts of lights are reasonable priced, small enough to fit in a vase, and not super bright.

I like to crochete with regular yarn and my friend gave me a box today with instruction books and yarn to crochete doilies, which I have never done before but would like to try, there was also a hook in the box, the hook only has a letter for a size (letter F) and the instructions all give numbers for the size hook you need, is there a chart that shows the number equivalant of the letter on the hook? Like on my other regular hooks it says U.S 6G/4.00 MM

I've been making roses out of paper that I colour myself and a floral designer I met at a craftshow is interested in using them for her work. But as much as I enjoy making my signature roses, I'd like to find patterns for making other flowers, especially orchids. Help!!!

Hi all! This seems like it would be simple enough to solve, but I just can't find a hobby! I am a new mom, to a 4 month old. I am used to working full time, but working is NOT an option right now. I am not used to being in the house this much, and I would LOVE to get into a hobby. All I do is chores around the house, and take care of my baby. Then when he is napping, I hop in the shower, get dressed, and then bam I am bored. I am soooo sick of the TV, reading , and the computer. I would love to do something creative, yet affordable. I did a lot of scrapbooking and that was sooo fun, but buying all the supplies costs way too much money when you are not working, and raising a baby. So, my question is, what is a good hobby, that doesn't cost a lot to maintain, is easy to put down at the drop of a hat (or cry, lol), and can be done at home? Any ideas?

I think this is going to be a long shot but I am looking for a pattern that is reversible and you use a double ended crochet hook. I remember you do the pattern and you have to make five strips that are crocheted together. I also know that you use two colors together. Any help would be appreciated as I can no longer find any of the patterns in the store any more. I just don't remember what the count is for each strip that I need to make.
