Stuffed animals can be cleaned up and refurbished for a new life with a loving child. This is a guide about refurbishing stuffed animals.
I was wondering if you could tell me where I could get a stuffed dog's back legs, both. This dog has "hard jointed bone" under his stuffing. The legs use to bend and he could stand up. I am trying to fix my daughter's favorite "friend" and his legs are broken and about to fall off. I can not send it to a doll hospital to be fixed she cannot be without him.
Do you know where to purchase them?
Thank you.
You may have to find a similar toy and perform a transplant operation.
If you can find a brand new version of the exact same animal, this could work as well, if you have the right story. When I was little, my mom purchased more than one copy of my favorite stuffed toy, unbeknownst to me. When she wanted to switch out my old, faded, worn toy, she'd tell me that Kitten was going to the spa and she'd come back as good as new.
She'd take the old toy and later the same day introduce the new one.
If your child is not familiar with the miraculous properties of the health spa, you could use the term "hospital."
Good luck.
How do I get the smell of cigarettes out of stuffed animals? I have washed them in hot water with detergent plus white vinegar, and then put them in the dryer on hot, yet they still smell.
By Cindi
First; take those cigarettes away from the children; this should be a good lesson to them as to how difficult it is to get rid of nicotine.
Secondly; set the stuffed animals out in the fresh air for a month or three (weather protected of course) or third: bag stuffed items with Activated Charcoal.
Take the stuffed animals and put them in a plastic garbage sack with a dryer sheet in them. Tie the bag up in put in the freezer for 2-3 days. This not only kills the smells, but also all bacteria and lice that can be found on stuffed animals.
Try Odorban it works.You can get it at Walmart in the cleaning section.
My granddaughter's favorite teddy bear was left wet in a plastic bag. It is now green and black with mold. How can I save it for her?
By Sue from Collierville, TN
Something like this happened with my daughter's favorite toy when she was a toddler. I had that terrible sinking feeling when I found it. I don't think hers was as bad as yours, but this is what I did (as I remember it -- it's been about 7 years).
I know that I used tea tree oil on it. I don't remember if I added it to the wash, or if I soaked it. I had a spray bottle with tea tree oil and water, so I probably just saturated the toy with that and let it sit for a while. I remember that I soaked in Oxy-clean. And hot water for the wash. I probably washed it a couple times.
I might have added Borax to the wash, and I always used vinegar in the rinse. I know that I would not have used chlorine bleach. I don't like chlorine bleach anyway, and I certainly would not have used it on my daughter's toy.
It worked for me. I think it was the tea tree oil and the Oxi-Clean that took care of it. I know that I soaked it for a long time before putting it through the washer. Good luck with your granddaughter's teddy bear.
It's worth trying mrs.Story's idea but if that mold is as bad as it sounds I think it might be better healthwise to try to find a new teddy bear that looks as close as possible to the current one.
Natures miracle the dog spot remover. It took the mold out of a heavy drape I had. Good luck. Nice that you care.
I have a stuffed bear that when the paw is pressed it sang a song. This no longer works. The batteries have been changed and tested so it is not the batteries. I would like to find someone who can fix this musical feature of the bear. This is not the only one that I have that is broken.
By Barbara from Lakewood Ranch, FL
Hi Barbara,
You might try a jewelry store that does watch repair. We once had a watch repairman at a jewelry store repair a very expensive music box. I hope you can find someone to help you. All the best, Julia in Boca Raton, FL
At craft stores carry the individual musical devices that can be placed in stuffed animals. They come in different tunes. And can be put into the paw of your bear. It might not be the same musical tune as the original, but it would be music.
The device has a little raised button on its top side. When you press the paw of the animal, it activates the music, then it plays the tune.
Sorry I cannot think of the exact name of this little device. But your craft store will know what you are talking about. These little devices are also found in the catalogs for crocheters and knitters. They are designed to go in the little animals, or puppets or whatever. They are not terribly expensive either.
Hope this helps you.
Does the bear still have the makers tag on it? If you can locate the company they may be able to give you a solution to it or send you a replacement. My niece had a talking doll that stopped talking and the company that made it replaced it for free.
Where can I take an old stuffed monkey that I want to get "reclothed"? The cloth is old, and he needs to be patched up.
Libby from Colorado Springs, Colorado
Look online for a doll hospital.
Those of us who watch Antiques Roadshow know you shouldn't try to fix up a possible antique before you get a professional opinion on its value as is. If the toy is old and/or collectible, it might be worth more just the way it is. Just a thought.
Try a tailor or a dressmaker. If it's an antique, leave it alone because the value will drop significantly if it is altered.
If it's just an old favorite stuffed toy whose only value is sentimental, then you could always go to a cloth shop and peruse the pattern books.
How do I remove the mini music box from a stuffed animal? (I can't get the wind-up key disconnected from the actual box)
rkay82 from Indiana
There should be a seam on the back of the stuffed animal. Carefully open the seam and remove music box and hand sew closed. If there isn't a seam make a small slit in the material, remove box and stitch it closed by hand sewing.
Try unscrewing the key BACKWARDS. Some of them go on that way
o you don't unwind while using it!
This year, a lot of us will be shopping the thrift stores and yard sales for Bunnies to fill our Easter Baskets. There is nothing in the world like seeing a child on Easter morning hugging that sweet Easter bunny. So I am going to give you some ideas on how to clean up those Easter Rabbits that you find at your favorite thrift store or yard sale.
As any one of you knows that read my articles regularly, I am a big fan of helping others in need. Again at this time of year, there will be a lot of kids that won't be getting an Easter basket. I firmly believe that our teenagers should be taught about community service young and that helping out should be a habit, not just something we do on special occasions like Christmas and Easter, but this would be a great project for a Girl Scout group or a church youth group to do. Everyone loves Easter baskets and Easter baskets could even be made up for a senior center or community center. There is nothing like spreading the joy, believe me. Also this is the time to contact your local community center or Senior Center about making up baskets, They will be able to tell you just how many to make and you will have enough time to make them.
I hope this gives you some great ideas on how you can save money on your bunnies. I wish you all a wonderful Easter with lots of egg hunts and beautiful weather.
May I know what is the safest and most effect way of removing mildew on a stuffed animal without discoloration and thinning of the silk-like material? Her face has yellowish-brown spots and at times, with little things crawling. Will vinegar "thin or corrode" the material? The stuffed toy is very delicate and precious.
Thank you very much.
By Jessica
I think i'd do one or all of these:
Good luck, I hope you find a solution.

How do you clean large stuffed animals?
By Gramadynamyte from London, Canada
I put them in a laundry bag and wash on gentle in the machine. Then I reset the washer to do a HI spin. This doesn't hurt it, but removes as much water as possible. Then I put it in the dryer with a large towel and set it for low and just dry it a short time (still wet, but not as wet). I take it out of the dryer and bag and put it somewhere to finish drying. When it's almost totally dry I put it back in the dryer for a fluffing. (05/09/2009)
By Glenn'sMom
I treat them like furniture and wash them the way I wash upholstery. I have a vacuum machine for wet pickup and after I suds up and rinse I pick up the water with that. (05/12/2009)
By kimhis
If they'll fit in the washer and dryer, I put mine in. If not, I take them outside in a big tub and wash them by hand and let them air dry outside. Once they are dry, I toss them in the dryer and let them go for about 15 minutes or so to puff them back up. (05/13/2009)
By Cricketnc
How do I remove the smell of cigarette smoke from stuffed animals without using too many chemicals?
Gaylebear from Flemington, NJ
Try taking the stuffed animals outside on a sunny breezy day. Or how about spraying with Febreeze and tossing in the dryer for a few minutes? (09/18/2006)
By Connie from MD
Wash them in the washing machine. Most stuffed animals come out looking and smelling fabulous! (09/19/2006)
Hi Gaylebear,
When I quit smoking, my house smelled horrible! I wanted to clean and freshen everything up. My dd had gobs of stuffed animals. I wasn't confident enough to put them in the washer (didn't know if the eyes, bows, nose, etc. would fall off), so I put them in the dryer on permanent press and low-heat with a white T-shirt dampened with white vinegar and 3 tennis balls. I didn't want to use fabric sheets, they would hide the smell but not clean the animals. The stuffed animals came out clean, fluffy, smelling fresh and all parts intact! (09/19/2006)
By SweetCali40
Throw them in the dryer with a dryer sheet. Set on air only. (04/03/2008)
By Gary Dominicus
Stuffed Animals can be nice, but do get dusty. Years ago when my kids were small and had stuffed animals, I received this tip on an easy way to clean them & it works great.
Does anyone have any tips for cleaning stuffed toys? I have some toys that I would like to give to friends that have children but would like to spiff them up before I do.

Homemade desserts stand out as one of the things that always taste better than store-bought. Mama Shirley loved baking more than cooking, and had a treasure trove of dessert recipes she would use for holidays, birthdays, and other special occasions...or quite often for no reason at all.
These are the old time desserts that were the sweet ending to delicious meals, from a time before glossy food magazines and professional baking skills moved home baking out of the spotlight. Spotlight or not, you'll still love every delicious morsel of sweetness from Mama Shirley's desserts.

I have to say we read many Tripadvisor reviews and were concerned about our stay at the Coral Tower. I did alot of review reading and put together a list of all the tips those who stayed there gave: stay in the Ocean View tower (a little more but worth it), floor 10 or above, even # rooms (facing Royal Towers the view is gorgeous) , newly renovated. At check in I rattled all this off, I was told I really did my homework. Our room was perfect, clean, couldn't ask for better. Our experience was too notch. Dining Plan is costly but eat at the fine restaurants and it's worth every penny! Cannot wait to for back and staying in the Coral Towers. Hope this helps. Enjoy!

Argentina's Fernandez Says Corn Crop to Exceed 28 Mln Tons
Corn production in Argentina, the world's second largest exporter, will surpass 28 million tons next season, President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner said.
Farmers will start planting the 2011-2012 crop between late August and early September and harvest the bulk of it next year. Fernandez, who gave no further details on the crop, spoke today at the National Corn Festival in Chacabuco, Argentina.
Fernandez's prediction is for a 29 percent increase in the next harvest, compared with the Agriculture Ministry's estimate of 21.7 million tons for the harvest due to end this month. The crop is 97 percent harvested, according to the ministry.
The 2011-2012 corn crop will cover about 700,000 hectares (1.72 million acres), or 25 percent, more land than the current one, Martin Fraguio, director of the corn association, said Aug.3. The current crop covers about 4.35 million hectares.

We took the morning shuttle not knowing exactly how far away the entrance was. The shuttle was not crowded and it literally only took about 3 min. The weather was chilly so we walked back to the hotel to change and it only took about 15 min to walk it. We then rode the last shuttle back to the park at 3:10 to stay the rest of the evening. Rather than wait for the 9:20 shuttle to get back, we walked back a second time. The streets are well lit, be careful to use the cross walks and cars sometimes are not always looking for pedestrians. Alll in all, had a great timeand its good to have options. As for the room, it was nice, not great. The breakfast was 7.95 which I thought was very reasonable for eggs, bacon, sausage, fruit, cereal, coffee, juice, etc.

Population: 9,000
Haddington has been a Royal Burgh since the time of David I and was built in the 12th century to provide trade and industry in one of the richest agricultural counties in Scotland. The burgh is situated snugly under the Garleton Hills on the banks of a long lazy s-bend of the River Tyne.
There are many different explanations as to where the name Haddington came from. In the 5th century, Haden was a Saxon Chief. In Anglo-Saxon, Hadin-tin means 'town of ordination or holy order' and in Gaelic - heuedinge-town means 'princes -town'.
Haddington bore the brunt of several English invasions and has been burnt to the ground on several occasions. It has also witnessed disastrous floods when the normally placid River Tyne overflowed its banks.
Haddington is home to many places of interest worth visiting including: St Mary's Collegiate Church, which dates from the 14th century and is one of the three great pre-reformation churches in the Lothians. More familiarly called 'the Lamp of Lothian', it is also the largest parish church in Scotland. The church is home to the grave of Jane Carlyle.
Lennoxlove House, which is home to the Duke of Hamilton, also has associations with Mary, Queen of Scots and contains an extensive art collection.
Trapain Law is the site of an Iron Age fort which was inhabited until the 11th century. Giffordgate in Haddington is also reputedly the birth place of the famous ecclesiastical reformer John Knox.

- Cited By
Patients with AIDS are permanently dependent on medical and technical nursing care. During a certain phase of the disease some of the patients have to visit the out-patient clinic of the hospital for regular treatment. It was noticed that AIDS patients find these visits a severe burden. Therefore in Rotterdam an experiment has been started to provide them the technical-medical and nursing care at home instead of at the out-patient clinic. During the experiment, specialized hospital nurses visited the patients at home. They worked in close collaboration with the community nurses. An exploratory study was carried out to assess the prospects and difficulties of this new kind of home care for AIDS patients from a medical, psycho-social and organizational point of view. The results suggested that it is possible to relocate the technical-medical and nursing care from the out-patient clinic to the patients' home. This specialized home care is seen as desirable from the perspectives of the AIDS patients and informal and professional caregivers. However, some organizational aspects, like the co-ordination and communication among caregivers and the availability of the specialized hospital nurses during the weekend, must be improved in the future.

Per aspera ad astra
I believed that I could change myself,that the past could be undone, but I carry on my back the burdens time always reveals. In the lonely light of morning, in the wound that would not heal it's the bitter taste of losing everything I've held so dear.
Can't stop the flashbacks. Stopped fighting them.
Coming to his office after school and trainings and giving him whatever he wanted. 2 or 3 times a week for almost a year. And he was never alone in his office. She was there too. Hate her. Hate myself.
Well I think this is the closest I've come to what rape trauma syndrome is defined as. one little push that's all I need. One little push and I'm gone. just like that. I'll go to the beach today to stare at the ocean and memorize it. just in case. Are there countries in heaven too? Can we choose where our souls are gonna live? Australia would be cool. It's my home. I've found my place.
Per aspera ad astra little girl. just let it go if you feel tired. It's ok to feel tired. So many years. Through all the hardships you've already reached your stars. One little push. fly little girl. or fall. well I have no wings.
12 weeks, 1 day. no sleep. my nose is bleeding again.
"Memories seep from my veins
Let me be empty and weightless
and maybe I'll find some peace tonight
Escaping one last time
It's easier to believe
In this sweet madness
this glorious sadness
That brings me to my knees
In the arms of the angel
Fly away from here
From this dark cold hotel room
And the endlessness that you fear
You're in the arms of the angel
May you find some comfort here"

NEW YORK Federal prosecutors in New York have closed an investigation into the fatal prescription drug overdose of actor Heath Ledger without bringing charges, People magazine reported on its Web site on Wednesday.
The report, citing an unidentified law enforcement source, also said the U.S. Attorney's Office will not enforce a subpoena issued in the case by a federal grand jury against actress Mary-Kate Olsen.
Federal authorities involved in the case could not immediately be reached for comment. Olsen's lawyer, Michael Miller, declined to comment.
Olsen, 22, was a friend of the 28-year-old Australian actor and the first person called by his masseuse when he was found dead in his New York apartment in January. She summoned private security guards who arrived at the scene about the same time as emergency medical personnel.
The cause of Ledger's death was later ruled an accidental overdose of prescription medications, including the painkillers oxycodone and hydrocodone.
A law enforcement source told Reuters on Monday the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration was conducting an inquiry into the source of those medications and that Olsen had declined to speak with investigators unless granted immunity from prosecution.
Ledger was nominated for an Oscar for his role as a gay cowboy in 2005's "Brokeback Mountain." His final role as the villainous Joker in the Batman sequel "The Dark Knight," released last month, is being critically hailed with Internet buzz touting him as an Oscar candidate in 2009.
Ledger has a 2-year-old daughter, Matilda, by his "Brokeback Mountain" co-star, Michelle Williams.

bilirubin, a substance made by the liver, cannot be broken down. This condition occurs when the enzyme that normally converts bilirubin into a form that can easily be removed from the body does not work correctly. Without this enzyme, bilirubin can build up in the body and lead to jaundice and damage to the brain, muscles, and nerves.[1] Crigler Najjar syndrome, type 1 is caused by mutations in the UGT1A1 gene. The condition is inherited in an autosomal recessive manner.[2] Treatment relies on regular phototherapy throughout life. Blood transfusions and calcium compounds have also been used. Liver transplantation may be considered in some individuals.[1]Crigler Najjar syndrome, type 1 is an inherited disorder in which

The simple plot follows a farm laborer named Bill as he is tricked into joining the army in a future inter-galactic war. I first read this book as a teen-ager and loved it though of course the military and the government were really our friends and not run by nut-cases concerned only with their own advancement as in the book. Well, re-reading this 30 years later after 4 years active duty and 5 in the reserves (They don't tell you that you can never leave the military if your specialty is needed when you try to resign) I find that this "satire" is a lot closer to the real military than almost any sincere book you can think of. Almost every ridiculously improbable military event in the book reminded me of similar real-life occurrences I participated in or heard about.
All in all, this book is entertaining and forces you to laugh even as identical monstrously wrong things happen in your own life. And, in case you're wondering, Bill does not triumph over the system, but ends up one more victim of bureaucracy and civilization.
The story follows the life of a humble farmer and how he gets manipulated into joining the army of the future and the many misfortunes that follow. It's basically a satire on the future, civilization, and the military. Don't let this books cheesy cover or silly name disuade you, its worth every penny. And now that I have found out there are sequels to follow, i'm one happy man. In the same vein as Douglas Adams, Terry Pratchett and even Kurt Vonnegut, this game is one hillarious treasure.
Boy, did they! Harry Harrison turns so many outworn cliches of science fiction and rocket pulp on their ear you'll get a crick in your neck. I laughed regularly through the whole thing, with some really good ones in the middle.
BTGH is the story of a backwoods farmboy who is shanghaied into military service because he looks just the type - big and strong, but dumber than a plant. During his training period, however, we find that our hero is quicker to notice things that we expected, and learns valuable lessons that are easily applicable to life, especially if you have a job you hate. To wit:
1) Shut up.
2) When the going gets tough, it'll get worse.
3) Never, ever, ever volunteer.
4) and Shut up.
Bill is slung through various attempts on his life in the course of military service, is awarded hero status, then promptly criminalized for missing his transport (because he gets lost, and there's a map, it's a long story) and gets wrapped up in a secret organization trying to take over the government, but he's working for the government as an informant, and all he really wants to do is get back to being a Fertilizer technician.
And I didn't even mention the war with the Chingers.
This book is a very quick read, and very entertaining, and required reading for any Terry Pratchett fan. I gave it four stars, beacuse it's the first in a series, and I really dislike having to read books in order, especially if there's more than two. But if you like your fiction with a good satiric twist, and non-stop, panic-addled action, find a used copy like I did, and give Bill the Galactic Hero a try.
