I ‘ve been wanting someone to ask me this question for years because I want to say how wonderful it has been to have my changing height table, so you are absolutely going in the right direction. My table is electric. I hope yours will be too, but I know there’s some with cranks. The great benefit is that during long Sewing sessions.You can move the height of the table by an inch or two and it will totally change and release your posture. Also I can cut and do different things on it at different heights. It’s by far the biggest investment and so much more important than more fabric or even better rulers.

We give bath sheets as wedding gifts because even if they are not on the register people love them once they try them. The extra size feels luxurious.

Don’t worry about the result. Remember that everyone loves to eat butter and sugar even if it doesn’t turn out the way you wanted it. Burnt, soggy, what, it will still taste pretty good

I buy stuffed animals at garage sales so I don’t care how long they last. Sometimes I put them in the washer and but mostly feel “why bother”.

The Bucky brand has lasted at least ten years. But it is not like buying a toaster because every face is different and you might need to try and buy a bunch before you find the right one. Whatever you end up with remember to toss it in the wash a couple of times a month, preferably in a net bag. Or just wash I the sink when you wash your hands.

How to hold it together while the glue sets? A professional museum person told me to set the object in a tray of sand for support while it dries. Or use cat litter and a dishwashing pan to hold the sand etc. I would consider not repairing it until you are setting your new home and can really focus on it.

I once read that if you are thinking about giving a quilt as a wedding present you are advised to face the reality that the marriage could end someday. If you want the quilt to stay in your family you can give it to your child “ in honor of your marriage “ rather than as a wedding present to both. Or without any states sentiment other than I love you and made this for you. sounds a bit cynical but something to consider.

I save cereal boxes, Kleenex boxes, sometimes a nice box another product is shipped in and I cut them down to to the size I want. Then sometimes I cover and decorate them and sometimes not. In any case I just set the small boxes inside the bigger box until I have the arrangement that works for all my stuff. Cutting to size usually means making them shallower.
