Two weeks ago I finally got brave enough to try cooking/baking with petals from my very fragrant antique roses.  The resulting pound cake was outstanding! Now I'm ready for more more adventures, but personally, I'm not very inventive.  Does anyone have a recipe to share?

My mom got my 4 y.o. a toy sewing machine at a yard sale for $4.  The stuff inside says Montgomery Ward battery operated sewing machine.  But there are also papers labeled Necchi educational toy sewing machine and a warrenty paper from Hassenfels Bros., Inc. dated Jan. 1, 1962.

It works with the hand crank (haven't tried batteries yet) but what kind of needles would it take?  I've never delt with toy machines before.

If this is an incorrect posting type, I apologize.

  I used to have several different recipes for gift mixes in a jar... note the words "used to". Along the way water got spilled on them and now the words are all green water colors.  If any one has good ones they'd be willing to share, I'd really appreciate it!

I'm sure this has been discussed, but I only went back through 6 months of topics. (I have a 4 y.o. and not much time.)

This is the issue:  my Singer 201 will sew just fine for a few inches (roughly 2-4) then the tension goes on it. I think it is the upper tension, because the top side of the sewing is fine, but the bottom becomes a straight line with small loops coming down from the top. Why would it do this? Even with readjustment, it happens each time I sew. Is it terminal, or possible something I can fix myself?
