Sandy asks…
Do you know of any other books similar to the grouchy ladybug?
That are ladybug stories,obviously.For my daughters nursery I am going to put some hardback lady bug books on a shelf to match her bedding.Do you know of any other books like this?
Oh,and I’d prefer them as like bright colors on the cover,and a child’s book.

How do I get Ladybug or Lady Beetle stains out of a light colored carpet?
We recently purchased a home that apparently had a grouping of Ladybugs die under where they kept their bed. Bottom line is there is a nasty stain on the carpet now and rather than rip it up we’d like to give stain removal a shot. Does anyone out there have any insight in what will get the stain out? Thanks in advance.
Ladybugs answers:
I usually use oxy clean to get rough stains out of my carpet. You just sprinkle approximately 1 cup of oxy clean on the stained spot then let it soak for approximately 15 minutes then vacum over the stained spot.

Decorating Nursery In ladybug theme, need ideas!?
Our baby is due in April & we have limited space.
We cannot find ladybug printed crib bedding we like so we are going with pink / green crib bedding & we will be painting her dresser & changing table with a lady bug theme. I just need some creative people to help me with ideas.
I want the ladybugs to be red & black or dark pink & black, but the other main colors will be pink & green.
Here is a book shelf I found on the internet I thought was cute, but i dont want to copy

Ladybugs answers:
Lady bugs are so easy to draw, though! Why don’t you practice drawing some on a piece of paper. When you get some nice ones (and get good at doing it), pin it to white crib bedding to get an idea of how you want to place them. Then, with a pencil or water-washable marker (you can get this at fabric stores — they wash right out, and are used for marking darts and things), sketch in your bug. Then, draw it on with fabric paints, and you’ve got a one-of-a-kind bedding that will absolutely safe.
For a little lamp (handy for late nights rocking baby to sleep or feeding), you can apply wooden “tulips” to the base and paint them any way you like. I think adding a border of flowers would be super-cute, and it goes with lady-bugs naturally. I’m also fond of the “turn the ceiling into a blue sky” kind of thing, but maybe that’s too cliche.
Oh, if you find you can’t draw lady bugs, look for some fabric with cute ladybugs. Iron it onto a backing (fusing? Interfacing? I’m sorry, I can’t remember what it’s called), cut it out, and then finish the edges with one of those edge-finishing fluids. You can put this on dressers, walls, changing tables. I wouldn’t put it anywhere baby can reach it, because it might be a choking hazard. So don’t attach it to bedding, until you sew it very securely on (like with a zig-zag stitch).
It’s easy to make fabric borders on a blanket, too, as long as you can find a cute fabric.
