Q: First, map out where you want the stenciled designs to go. Use a light-colored washable marker to make small marks so you know where to place the stencil each time. Place one hand firmly on the stencil to make sure it doesn't move and hold the can about 4 inches (10cm) away from the carpet to spray in the design. Purchase pre-made stencils from craft stores or make your own out of cardboard or thin plastic materials. It's best to use just one stenciled design, but you can combine two different stencils if you lay them out in a thoughtful way. For instance, stick to a single celtic design to be spaced out evenly across the center of the carpet or around the edges. You can also use different floral stencils for a smart, unique look. Use painter's tape to act as a stencil. Lay it out in stripes, chevron patterns, triangles, or any other geometric shape you enjoy. Then, spray the areas around the tape, let the paint dry for 1 to 2 hours, and peel back the tape. Try cutting the tape into small squares and triangles and sticking them to the carpet to create your own geometric patterns. It may help to use a measuring tape to map out where you want to place the painter's tape for a symmetrical design. Create a classic border of stripes around the edges of the carpet with lines of painter's tape. Use a measuring tape to measure out where you want the border lines to go, then make small tick marks with a light-colored washable marker. Lay the tape according to the tick marks. The areas covered by tape will reveal the current color of the carpet. Hold up a piece of cardboard at a 45-degree angle next to the tape line to protect the inside section of the carpet from the paint. Blot the painter's tape or stencil with a rag to soak up any puddles of paint that may have collected on them. That way, when you peel away the tape or lift the stencil, the puddle won't drip onto the carpet and ruin your design. Pull up the tape or remove the stencil only after you're finished painting that area. Touch the painted area with your finger to make sure it's dry before moving on with a new color or before laying down more painter's tape. If your design requires adding more tape to previously painted areas, wait until those areas are completely dry. For instance, if you spray red spray paint over blue paint that isn't dry, you could end up with purple areas. Placing tape onto still-damp painted areas will compromise the consistency of the paint and, as a result, mess up your design. Use a paper towel to wipe up as much of the excess paint as possible, then douse a cloth with paint thinner and blot or rub the affected area until you don't see any traces of color. Mineral spirits or acetone can also be used to remove paint. Avoid stepping on the painted areas of the carpet for the next 8 to 10 hours or until it's completely dry. Depending on the climate and humidity of the area you live in, this could take up to 12 or even 24 hours.
A: Use a stencil to create curved, intricate designs. Lay down painter's tape in geometric patterns for a modern look. Apply stripes of painter's tape around the edges of the carpet to make a border. Use a rag to remove any puddled paint on the tape or stencils. Allow the paint to dry before adding a new color or more tape for the design. Use paint thinner to clean up your design or erase mistakes. Wait 8 to 10 hours until the rug is completely dry before walking on it.

Q: The low sitting bridge will divide the long vertical line of your nose more evenly, so the bottom portion of your nose--the portion that the eye naturally catches--will seem smaller. A wide bridge creates a stronger, more visible divide. Larger frames are generally a better option than smaller ones. The large frames can compete with the size of your nose and help balance it out, but smaller frames can draw more attention to the size of your nose. The other option is to go for contacts. Since glasses sit at the top of your nose, they do draw some attention to that area of your face. Getting contacts avoids this issue completely. Your ears and nose share the same horizontal space on your face. Short, dainty earrings can draw attention to this horizontal space, which could also draw attention to your nose. Larger earrings that extend below the ear enlarge the sides of this horizontal space, making the nose at the center of this space appear smaller by comparison. If you do not want to wear long earrings, at least choose short earrings that cover the earlobes completely. This will draw more attention to the sides of this horizontal space, which can help draw attention off your nose. Rounded earrings that occupy both horizontal and vertical space are better than earrings that only add a vertical dimension. Earrings that emphasize straight, vertical lines will also emphasize the straight, vertical line of the nose. Both men and women should look for hat styles that have a rounded or down-turned brim at the front of the face. A brim that hangs down over the front of the face can visually build out the forehead. As a result, the nose appears shorter and more proportionate. Avoid "tricorne" styles, which meet at a point above the forehead. Hats that have a larger brim in the front than in the back may build out the forehead better than those with an even brim all around. Make sure that the crown does not pinch in too tightly toward the front of the face. Ideally, this crown should also be of medium height to maintain better visual balance, and it should not taper in much toward the top. Consider choosing a hat with a wide, colorful band above the brim. This band can draw the eye up and away from the nose.
A: Choose glasses with a wide, low bridge. Wear large earrings. Pick a hat with a prominent brim.

Q: The potatoes will need 4 to 6 weeks after chitting before they're ready to plant. This will give them a chance to sprout and start putting on growth. At this point, you can plant the seed potatoes in warm soil. Most people chit their potatoes in January or February so they can plant in March or April, when soil temperature's reach about 50 degrees F (10 degrees C). Check an almanac or ask an expert at your local nursery to find out when the soil will be warm enough for planting the potatoes.
A: Decide when to chit the potatoes.

Q: This will form the framework for the mouse's head and body. Draw curve lines along the tail to indicate divisions. Draw details for the eyes. Add details for the body.
A:
Draw two circles of different size and an oval which are overlapping each other. Draw the details for the mouse's limbs using curves which extend from the oval and the second circle. Draw the slender tail using curve lines. Draw the big ears using simple curves and add details for the fur. Draw details for the mouse's face including the nose, mouth, and large front teeth. Draw details around the face including the brows and snout. Trace with a pen and erase unnecessary lines. Color to your liking.
