Thanks....and are you talking about the doll I made? I'll get around to making a dress for her sooner or later...

I am doing better...still get really tired, easily, but all in all, am actually pretty well. Thanks for asking!

Miriam, I'll keep Wilbur in my prayers!! Hope you have an answer soon!

SEW, I am not crazy? I have been itching (in my mind!) to paint one or two of my vintage cabinets that have cute little benches with storage under the seat. Thanks Charlee for the visual!

Glad to see you are feeling better. Hope you keep going in that direction.

I am cleaning out my office and ran across the case for my FW. Eeeek! I don' t want to open it because I know it had moldy odor issues two years ago. I had tried leaving it open in the summer sunlight for days and to no avail.

What is the BEST way to get rid of that odor? Or, is replacing the felting inside the only way. I hate musty smelling stuff.

Tons of options!

The other thing is that Dave McCallum - http://www.featherweight221.com/fwrx/index.html - suggests using a lamp with a stable base and heating the inside. That's in keeping with a lot of the comments in the other link above. I can't remember the specifics of what he said (wattage and time) but if needed, I suppose I can bring myself to watch that portion of the DVD again...

This link has some good suggestions too:

Pretty cute actually. Did you see the one turned upside down, put a pillow in it and made it into a doggie bed?

Don't know if this is what you need to do or maybe you are doing it already. When you find a picture from another site what I do is copy it to the MY Pictures section on my computer or where ever you save your photos. then I can resize it or if I want to put it on here it works better coming from my own computer where it's been saved.

Thanks. I haven't read them all but so far, the spic n span with a little bleach sounds good! I really would like to use the case when I travel with my FW.
