I saw this on a sewing forum, so I don't have first hand experience, but I think I will buy some. The poster said she had never come across a smell this couldn't conquer. I would love to hear your report. :)<br /><br />http://www.scoe10x.com/Scripts/SCOE10X-Odor-Eliminator.asp<br /><br />(P.S.

Cute that is, I wouldn't know about the annoying part. ;-)<br /><br />Moi, I would skip extra trim on the bolero.

I bought a fab c. 1980 jeans pattern last week and it arrived the other day! <br /><br />Have I told you my sewing room is being slowly taken over by dolls as well--and my husband's no less?! Well, they're the 12" GI Joe dolls, but they've been threatening to engulf at least one shelf of my fabric storage (the nerve!) and rappelling down the sides of the other bookshelf... haha. I think this doll collecting thing must be going 'round. Would explain why I have been spending far too much time on Ebay hunting down Barbies and Gene dolls. <br /><br />♥ CaseyCaseyhttp://elegantmusings.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1991166428290808171.post-2613457547416383292011-04-01T08:56:39.911-04:002011-04-01T08:56:39.911-04:00Oh, Valerie, I love that idea.
