Planetary Artwork

By 15mhhm15

Planetary Artwork - finished artworkOne of the books we (my children and I) read was about the solar system. After reading a book, we like to have a hands on activity. Today's hands on activity is using watercolors to recreate some of the planets. We did Earth, Mars, Venus, and our moon. We used glittery watercolors and it's extra sparkly and pretty (according to my toddler girl).

Cleaning Up After Pets

By Tracey C.

A lint roller on a carpeted area.When accidents happen on the carpet, act quickly with soap and water. Soak up as much of the mess as possible. Bounty paper towels are good for this. You may need to repeat this process, especially when the mess is dry.

Today's Questions
Sears Sewing Machine Not Stitching
I have a Sears 158-861 Model 84 sewing machine and it's just now giving me problems with the bobbin thread. As I am sewing the lower thread isn't catching with the top thread. I tried fixing the upper tension both increasing and decreasing, but it's just not working. I also tried changing the needle, but that's not helping either.

Sink with Garbage Disposal Won't Drain
The garbage disposal empties water into the sink, but sink will not drain. I went to the outside drain pipe and took the cap off. The sink drained immediately. I put the cap back on; same problem. I can't find an answer anywhere.
