When it has been used, but has not been allowed to become hard, poke holes in the clay with your finger or with a pencil, fill these with water (to restore the original dampness) and place in an airtight crock or in a galvanized pail with a tight cover. A damp cloth placed over the clay will help to keep it moist until the next time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-----------------------\u003cbr\u003e7 -- SPOOL KNITTER \u003cbr\u003eGet an empty thread spool and draw center lines across the end.

File brad sharp, and bend slightly. A finer one can be made by driving a good-sized sewing needle into a stick, pulling it out, and forcing the eye into the hole. Heat point over flame, and when needle point is red hot, bend slightly.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e-----------------------\u003cbr\u003e9 -- SPRING POTPOURRI \u003cbr\u003e4 oz. rosebuds\u003cbr\u003e2 oz. lavender flowers 2 oz. deer's tongue herb 2 oz. peppermint\u003cbr\u003e2 oz. calamus root\u003cbr\u003e1 oz. black malva flower 1 oz. marigold flowers 1 oz. peony flowers\u003cbr\u003e1 oz. bay leaves\u003cbr\u003e20 drops orris root oil 10 drops blue lilac oil Mix all dry ingredients, then add the essential oils, which have also been premixed.
