I was just on my sewing machine and it started going really slow, even with my foot all the way down. I then noticed there was a little bit of smoke coming out from the upper unit where the needle comes down and where the light is and all the motor and belts etc. Does anyone...

I actually love swallow jewellery and charms etc, but I CAN'T FIND ANY SWALLOW CHARMS!! I don't really mind what size they are, a variety would be nice but around about an inch could be best.. I'm in the UK, and dont want to have to pay more than a few quid for a multipack of...

So, for the longest time, I've wanted to learn how to make metal jewelry--as in, not just stick premade charms, etc., together, but actually make the charms and rings and so on. I know a few of you know how to do this; how would I start?? I guess it's probably "lost wax...
