Latest Cross stitcher free gift

April 6, 2013
By

If you all didn’t know my favorite craft magazine is Cross Stitcher not only do they have beautiful & practical cross stitch charts every month the free gifts are nearly always way worth the price of the magazine, and what I love so much about them i tat they give you new materials to work with and you can see if you like it or not, this month it was a wooden key fob, really easy to stitch & beautiful end results, I really enjoyed stitching this and i look forward to stitching on wood again the only thing  I will say about this kit is I wont be using it as a key ring as I feel it will get messed up in my bag and it’s too pretty for that so I will be hanging it somewhere in my home to show it off !

Cat care on a budget

Now I am not presuming that all you cat owners don’t know how to look after your cats, this is just how I care for mine as I am on a strict budget & have cat allergies.

all products together

Food

So first of all we had alot of trouble with our cat Dexter and him being violently sick and we couldn’t understand why and after many trips to the vets, we learned he has food allergies which is really common with cats, it turned out to be the cereals that they put in cat food to bulk it up and some cats find this hard to digest, this includes rice grains wheat all that kind of stuff, after alot of trial & error on putting him on different food which said they had no cereals in them we were directed by a very helpful PetsAtHome employee and Applaws  dry food contains no cereals and is great as Dexter prefers it to the normal cat food.

Have some old knit wear that is looking a but dull has lots of bobbles and quite frankly is something you would chuck to the back of your wardrobe, well get it out and rub an old razor on it, make sure it’s one you have used and no longer want, give the razor a wash and shave your old knit wear !

I do this with all my favorite knitted clothes and I have got hats gloves scarfs I have had for years that i can use year after year and they still look new & I haven’t had to waste £3.99 – £9.99 on one of those bobble off machines, Read more »
