I have done several google searches trying to find information on coin shows in Utah. The pages that I find either have very few events listed or none at all. So the question I pose to you is: is there a place where I can read about coin show in Utah or does Utah really just not have many of them?

For some reason I don't understand the directions on how to make the sticks glow. It says bend and snap but what do you bend them? the entire tube? Won't it break and the stuff will go everywhere?

About 20 years ago in grade school, we made little reindeer heads out of yarn, pipe cleaners, and plastic sheets that have little squares in them. Once put together, you could squeeze the reindeer's cheeks and the mouth would open and you could put a piece of candy in it. Does this sound familiar to anyone? I would like to make them as Christmas gifts, but I need a pattern or instructions. Thanks!

Hey,
I have decided to try to make Christmas Ornaments using Salt Dough. I have the recipe, and I actually have a small batch in the oven testing them out. My question is, how long will they last once baked, dried, and painted? Does anyone have any creative ideas for ornaments also? All help is greatly appreciated!!

I'm making some throw pillows and I wanted to use up some extra home decor fabric that is 54" wide (on the bolt) and 3" long -- so I figured it was just about enough to cover the cording for one or two pillows. However, everything I am reading says that I have to cut the cording fabric on the bias. Obviously, with only three inches to work with -- I don't have enough to cut it on the bias (or I would end up with a gazillion seams in the cording, which is not cool).

WHY do I have to cut the fabric for my cording on the bias? What would happen if I didn't? (I don't want to buy more fabric for the cording (trying to be frugal). I asked a woman working at my local fabric store and she said something about needing stretch and also so that it did not shrink and pucker when I washed my pillow coverings. However, I have already washed all of this fabric, so why would it shrink? And why do I need stretch when I cover the cording?

If I want to knit a blanket, but only have a limited amount of time to do so, is a knitting machine worth the hassle?

Does the knitting machine allow someone to knit much faster than by hand, or is just a different type of knitting?

I need something that is fairly sheer and thin, yet emulates the feel of real butterfly wings; soft and fuzzy.

I have done endless hours of searching for knitted dress patterns - preferably cabled dresses with long sleeves and v-neck. I cannot find anything figuring I'll have to go to a book store and search. But I can find endless patterns on beautiful sweaters. So I was thinking of doing a cable sweater and extending it down to my knees.

Is this even possible or am I wasting my time? How would I start the pattern from the hem line and knit till I get to desired waist line? then on up? I've never done sweaters before but I want it to be a goal project for this winter.

Can anyone give me any pointers? I REALLY appreciate it!

I can probably spend around 100 bucks- Iam thinking ebay will have something. I just dont know what kind would be best, or what make is best.

We live near revolutionary war sites, and right on the river, so one with atleast a water proof coil would be nice.

Thanks!
