This is a great gift for a housewarming or for someone who has everything (almost)!
Now, we don't recommend any of these solutions ourselves, but some just might be worth trying:
After Peeling Onions. - A little mustard well rubbed into the hands will remove the odour.
Rusty Pen Nibs. - If pens are stuck into a potato when not in use, the nibs will not rust and the pens will always be in good condition.
Sewing Machine Hint. - When about to machine muslin or lace, tack a piece of tissue paper over it and then machine. The paper is easily torn away, and the machine needle will not catch in the muslin or lace.
This great little hardcover book measures 7-1/2 by 5-1/16 inches and boasts 258 pages.
