#3 – Use a Homemade Soap Recipe from an Established Source
Due to the nature of soap making and the need for precise measurements, it is important that the recipe you choose comes from an established source. This will work to ensure that the recipe has been tested and has worked for other people. Imagine the frustration of using a recipe that was flawed to begin with! You may do everything right but the soap just would not come out properly.
#4 – Choose a Recipe with Ingredients You Like
You may be tempted to make a soap that has a scent that a family member or friend likes, however, it is best to stick to what you like at first. This is because you will want to make a batch or two before you are ready to let others try out your soap.

Any time you give a friend or loved one a quilt that you made with all of your hard work, it can be considered keepsake quilting, since you spent all of that time and effort into making the gift for them. It should be treasured for a lifetime. Another specific type of keepsake quilting though, is one that is based on the materials used.
If you want to make a keepsake quilt, or something that is very special to someone, use fabrics that are also special to him or her. Instead of going to a craft store to buy some new fabrics, use something that is important to them. For example, if your friend has children that are starting to get older, you might ask to have some of their old clothes that no longer fit them. It’s even ok if there are a few stains, since you can always discard those parts. You can then cut up the clothing and use that fabric in order to make a keepsake quilt for the parents, so that every time they see the quilt they will be reminded of their children.
Another nice keepsake quilt is to make one for someone who recently had a loved one pass away. If they will let you take some of their clothes, you can use that to make a memory quilt, so that each time the person sees the quilt they will be reminded of their loved one, and hopefully be able to have some great memories when they see specific fabrics, reminding them about when the person was wearing them.
As you can see, there are many ways to make keepsake quilts from old garments, and it can be a great way to remember a certain time in someone’s life, or even chronicle a lifetime as you use fabrics from one person’s life using clothes from when they were a baby, as they got older, and maybe even parts of a wedding dress! If you are looking to make a very thoughtful and meaningful gift for someone, a keepsake quilt is definitely a great gift to make.

Knitting is fun and a great hobby where you can knit your own clothing, make your own design and wear it, and of course a great way to make use of your creativity to make profits. If you are still starting to get to know the basics about knitting, a good beginner’s guide to knitting will be of great help.
What You Will Need
Of course, the first thing that will come to your mind is the things that you will need in starting with knitting. The basic ones are your yarn and your knitting needles. There are lots of types of yarn that you can use in knitting and there are also lots of shapes and sizes of needles that you can use in this craft. You will understand them one by one and in-depth if you grab a more detailed beginner’s guide to knitting, but in general, you have to understand that knitting needles are presented by numbers. Needle numbered 7 and 8 are the average sizes and can be a good size to start with your first project. Remember that the higher the number, the thicker your needles and the looser are its knits. However, your choice of needle depends largely on your project.
Choosing a yarn may not be difficult as you can choose from a lot of varying colors, but if you are just starting, you may want to start with those with plain colors and those textured ones. They are good for beginners as you can work easily on them and it helps you identify knitting mistakes and correcting them easily.
Find a good beginner’s guide to knitting to help you determine which needle size and yarn type are best for a specific project you have in mind.
Starting With The Knitting
Start by practicing the basic knits. For sure, you may have lots of things you want to make with your knitting. You may even be excited to knit your sweater right then, but of course, you have to start with the basics first.
The two most basic knits you need to master are the purl stitch and the knit stitch. You will eventually master other stitches if you learn these two as the more complex stitches are based on them. You will also need to learn how to cast on and the cast off to start and end your stitches.
If you have mastered these, you can then start by getting a pattern of your first projects. For someone new to knitting, it is wise to choose a small knitting project at first. you can also choose a project that is flat so you can master the basics well before attempting some complex designs. It may be tempting to go for designs that are more creative but this can however lead you to frustration if you start with it. So, better start from the basics.
Keep The Desire Burning
Of course, your desire is important in developing a hobby and a new interest like learning how to knit. Hobbies like these need patience and if you can keep that desire burning while you are learning the first few steps in knitting, you surely will get to knit your own clothes or make profit out of your creations in no time.

It was actually way back in the times of Ancient Egypt, around 3200 B.C., when the first model ships were being built. The purpose at that time was to simply build and check design. During this time was when sails were in their earliest form. It wasn’t for another 500 years that new designs began sprouting up in other parts of the world, such as Greece and Scandinavia.
Model ships containing sails, stern rudders, and masts became more and more developed over time, leading into the production of massive Viking ships and Clipper ships setting out to sea during the period of 1300 A.D. to 1450 A.D. Without the blueprint, if you will, of the smaller model ships, larger ships may have had a lot of trial and error turn up with disastrous results. At the time, these ships were all still being built out of wood that would hopefully hold up to the beatings of ocean waves and the salt water itself. It wasn’t until around the 1800’s that steel replaced wood as a main component in ship building.
Thanks to the amazing minds of early these early inventors, boats could be tested in tanks before ever setting out onto possibly stormy seas. Builders could watch and see how the design of their hulls and sails would hold up to crashing waves and high winds that they themselves created. This way, there was a greater chance of the success of their full scale models. They had opportunity to see their craft at work without placing anyone in harms way. They could see the development of rudders to paddle boats to boats powered by the great force of steam; undoubtedly watching history unfold right before their eyes.
Today, boat builders rely on a combination of computer programs as well as small scale models to construct their full size sailing ships and ocean liners. With modern technology, the craft of model boat building may not be as much of a necessity as it once was, but it certainly is still an art! And one that is amazingly popular. Museums erect exhibits for boat lovers of all ages to come and view the spectacle that is model boats in their greatest form. Fathers and sons spend Sunday afternoons locked away in the garage seeing what they can produce with a model boat kit purchased at the local hobby store.
Although they played an integral part throughout history, model boats are certainly not a thing of the past!

Depression glass facts make for interesting conversation,
especially when you’re at a convention or talking amongst
other Depression glass aficionados. So here are a few items
to get you started so you, too, can have some meaningful
knowledge to put on the plate when you and your Depression
glass collector friends gather ’round and chat.
English Hobnail leads the pack as the design with around
the most available pieces still out there for collectors.
Westmoreland Glass Company produced the English Hobnail
pattern from the late 1920s to the 1980s, with the
Depression-era pieces made in eight different colors. In
total, 175 pieces of this particular design were created.
Rose Cameo, conversely, holds the record for the least
number of pieces available in a pattern. The Belmont
Tumbler Company held the patent for Rose Cameo, and only
six pieces of this design made it to the marketplace: a
plate, a footed sherbet, a footed tumbler, a berry bowl,
and a 5-inch and 6-inch bowl. Because Belmont manufactured
only tumblers and was trying to recover from a massive
fire, experts speculate the actual production of this rare
design happened at the Hazel-Atlas Glass Company, only a
few miles away. A six-piece set of tumblers – the pattern
was only made in green – in mint condition can be had for
between $150 and $175 (prices may have changed since I wrote
this).
The Jeanette Glass Company breaks all records for coming up
with the most patterns. Jeanette made 11 patterns of
Depression glass between 1928 and 1946: Sunburst, Homespun,
Swirl, Doric and Pansy, Windsor, Sunflower, Doric, Adam,
Sierra, Floral, and Cherry Blossom.
And then at the other end of the spectrum, the Fenton Glass
Company produced only a single pattern of Depression glass
- the Lincoln Inn.
Of the 200+ patterns of Depression glass created, footed
salt and pepper shakers from Hocking’s Mayfair design
demand some of the very highest prices. Don’t flinch
when (or if) you have a close encounter with one: They go
for more than $9,000, which makes them 1 of the most expensive
items of all Depression glass patterns at the time of
writing this article.
Hazel-Atlas produced the Aurora pattern in beautiful cobalt
blue for one year only – from 1937 to 1938.
Jeanette and Federal glass companies manufactured the two
most reproduced patterns, Cherry Blossom and Madrid.
Jeanette produced 43 pieces of the Cherry Blossom design
from 1930 to 1939 in five colors. Federal’s Madrid output
numbered 45 pieces in five colors from 1932 to 1939. The
popularity of these designs, of course, made reproductions
impossible to avoid, but also makes the original
Depression-era versions that much harder to detect.
This article, perhaps, may inspire you to dig deeper and
find out even more about the Depression glass products
we’ve all come to love. Hopefully, with these bits and
pieces of trivia, you’ve learned something you didn’t
already know. If you haven’t, then you need to be writing
your own articles on Depression glass trivia and
enlightening the rest of us! But if you have benefited, you
can safely know that the next time you’re sitting next to
that 40-year collector at convention, you, too, have more
comments to make than just about “all those pretty,
Depression glass colors!”
Until next time,
