Woman crochets $30 wedding dress on bus

I crocheted my lace wedding dress on the bus during my work commute for about 5 months. The dress is a pattern I designed with a commonly used pineapple stitch. The dress was practically free because I didn’t spend much money on it (under $30 for all of the materials including fabric for the lining) and I didn’t spend much extra time on it. My commute time couldn’t be used for anything else anyway. The dress is also machine washable (I’ve washed it several times), doesn’t wrinkle or need any special care, and I plan on wearing it again with linings of different colors and with the train bustled up in different ways.

Papifeed Cat Feeder – Because I love My Cats But Hate Feeding them

One evening, I decided to surprise Luna and Whiskers with their new favorite meal. As soon as I pulled out the packet, Luna sprinted into the kitchen like she’d been training for a feline Olympics. Whiskers, not to be outdone, leapt onto the counter (a forbidden zone) and batted the pouch right out of my hand. The pouch exploded like a cat food confetti bomb, and Luna wasted no time diving in face-first. Meanwhile, Whiskers, with a look of pure betrayal, meowed at me as if to say, “How could you let her win?” Lesson learned: feeding time is a competitive sport in my house!  So this got me thinking, how to solve the problem? two bowls? two different spots for feeding? 

So after some serious browsing and market research I ended up purchasing the Papifeed 7 litre cat feeder.   I am not going to lie this took the cats 2-3 days to settle into using and me a few more days. ( I am not great with technology. 

  Now obviously his is only for dry food and not that pouch crap. One other tip i have is to clean the storage section with hot soapy water between refills, it can get a little funky from the oils that come out of the dry food, I would almost say rancid if you don’t wash it out between refills, for us, that’s just over a week per refill. Sometimes 3 weeks, depending on how much fresh food they get.  Last week they got fresh fish so these guys aren’t living it rough.  

I love that I can feed them from my phone too, so it means if I am running late at the office , I can go ahead and drop some dry food into their bowl to tide them over till I get home.
