Easy To Make Felted Cat Toy « 7 Yaks Design
Felted Cat Toys You can make a cute felted cat toy with this easy method of felting. The felted toy is tough and chewy like pretend prey. It also has the “hairyness” to give a sense of realism for your kitty… Without the charming hairball after. These are lighter than the full felt construction, easier and faster to make, and have a bell inside for added pleasure. It’s a simple and practical way to recycle small amounts of wool fleece and yarn that will felt. Materials: Plastic ‘wiffle’ balls, any size, but the 1″ to 3″ sizes work best. Directions 1. Use wire cutters to cut the plastic between holes in the ball. 2. Be careful pushing the bell into the ball. 3. Any white glue will work. 4. 5. Protect the toy with your hand as you slide it into the stocking. 6. 7. 8. When your kitty has sufficiently loosened the felt construction, you can just repeat the process and it’s good as new ;-) Cat Toy Kit Like this: Like Loading...
Detoxification Part I : Healing Waters
A detox bath is one of the easiest healing therapies we can do to facilitate our body’s natural detoxification system. In today’s post I am going to tell you why you want to take a detox bath as well as show you how. There is no doubt in this day and age, our bodies are subject to more toxins than ever. A detox bath encourages the body to efficiently flush out toxins. Our toxic burden is a result of the toxins we are exposed to and our body’s ability to naturally detox. When we take a detox bath, we not only boost our health and well-being, but also strengthen our immune system and prevent disease. Our exposure to toxic substances is on the rise. When metabolic waste from toxins builds up in our body, we get sick. It might seem that everyone is toxic.

DIY: crocheted rag rug part 2
Now the fun part! Or the tricky explaining part if you're me! Grab one end of the sheet yarn and make a simple slip knot. This is going to be the centre of your rug. Insert your hook into the loop. Pick up the long end of the fabric and loop it once over your hook And pull that loop through the first loop (the slip knot loop) Pull it through to make a new loop. I also made a video to help you see the process a little better: Continue making a chain of loops until you have between 5-7 chains. This is kind of the tricky part. Loop the long end of fabric over the hook (just as you've been doing all along) And pull that fabric through the original loop Then keep pulling it through the loop your hook was already through (or the last loop in your chain) and close the circle. Here it is in video form to help you see a bit better again: Now you have to continue around the circle by finding a loop, pushing your hook through pulling a new loop through that hole and pulling it through the last loop
Aloe Mint Lotion Recipe
I’ve been experimenting with lotion recipes for ages and finally found one that I absolutely love! I based it off of Rosemary Gladstar’s “Famous Face Cream” recipe found in her book, Medicinal Herbs: A Beginner’s Guide, and then tweaked it around a bit. (PS: that book is fabulous and not just for beginners. While this version is made with mint, don’t be afraid to swap ingredients around and use another flower or herb that you like. handful of fresh mint leaves (dried will work too)waterrosemary antioxidant (extract)1/2 ounce (1 Tablespoon) aloe vera1 ounce (2 Tablespoons) shea butter2 ounces (1/4 cup) of sunflower oil1/2 tablespoon beeswaxpeppermint essential oil I infuse my sunflower oil with mint leaves (see HERE for more detailed directions) – but you can use plain oil, if you wish. Make sure that you are using pure aloe vera gel. First, we need to make a mint tea to serve as the water base of our lotion. Stir about 5 or 6 drops of rosemary antioxidants into the oil mixture.
