Old Style MoneySaving

A question about : sewing/craft question?

Hi, hope you good people may be able to help here. I've been asked by my daughter if I can make an over the door hot wheels car holder like this, or something similar, for my grandson's birthday.

Can anyone help with ideas or direct me to where I can find out how to do it?

Many thanks.
Margaret

A question about : Cleaning laminate floors

Cleaning laminate floors
Our daughter rents out her flat, tenant has just left and laminate floors need a good clean.......but with what?

The flat is unfurnished, so floors easy to inspect, they looked sort of streaky/cloudy all over.

She has tried using a steam mop, the streaky/cloudy appearance went, but now the floors are sticky.

This is an “over the garden fence” type thread where we chat about everything Old Style and maybe a little bit more. It’s a great, inspiring and motivating thread we start each day to discuss what Old Style things we’re going to do today or what we’ve achieved already. Everyone’s welcome, please do come in, put your feet up (although check the fence hasn’t just been painted first!) and join us for an Old Style natter. The more the merrier!

A question about : How to make pasties?

I have some shortcrust pastry, some beef skirt, some onions, potatoes and vegetables. So I'd like to try and make pasties.

How do i do it? Also, if i have leftover filling (i have more beef skirt than i need, so thought about making extra filling), can i freeze it?
