    I always carry one of those duster things in my car to clean the dashboard. Just keep it between the driver's seat and the console. Handy.

      Thanks for this suggestion! All that dust on the dash drives me crazy! 😂

      @@marcysikes You are very welcome. It is also good for going around the knobs on the dash and the ledges of the windows. I like to keep a wooden back scratcher between the seats too. Not only is it good to have when you get one of the random itchy spots on your back, but it works very well for reaching something that is on the floor all the way over on the passenger's side.

    It's funny that you had the cookie tin. My 45 yo daughter was here and saw my dansk cookie tin on the counter (with cookies in it. She said she remembers being traumatized as a child when she opened the tin and saw sewing supplies!

      in June 23, I found a miniature Dansk cookie tin, about 6" diameter x about 1.5" ; at the dollar tree. I bought it to make a mini sewing kit. The trauma of "Is it cookies or a sewing kit? Is real. At least, for us Gen Xers and previous generations . 😊

      My mom bought me a Danish cookie tin, full of cookies, to use as a tin for my embroidery supplies. She also got me a magnetic needle minder that is a tiny cookie tin. It made me so happy.
      We used to have at least 1 large cookie tin for our holiday get togethers when I was a kid.

Set up so if I want to sew for a while I don’t have to dig out a machine. Wish I was closer to you so I give you my stuff hat you could share with others. Keep up the great videos, they do make a difference. Hugs, D

    Goo Gone works wonders on glue remnants. Just wash to item afterward before use. Also, you can play a dvd in a Blu-ray player. Can’t play a Blu-ray in a dvd but you can play a dvd in a Blu-ray player. So enjoy your dvd. Did you look at the $3 and $5 items? In the $5 items is a fat quarter pack with five fat quarters that are 100% cotton. You can get a strip bundle also for $5.

She explains that knockoffs to the mats may save money but that they void the warranty on the machine. That’s the only reason why I noticed the mat. Good luck.
