No stopping me now! I LOVE these Fiskars perforating blades. They just arrived and look at what I can do FAST, EASY, SIMPLE and with a lot less stress. The blades cut quickly and perfectly with average pressure (firm but easily) to make the tiny holes I need to crochet around the edges of the fleece blankets I make and donate to the hospital for sick and needy kids and families.

I was using a seam ripper to eyeball the distance between stitches and cut little ones in the fabric before I got these blades. It was hard to cut the same size holes and the same distance each time and very time-consuming.

When the blades arrived I immediately stopped what I was doing for work on the computer, opened the package, took the blades out and tested it. Yep, perfect holes, exactly spaced apart and my crochet hook slides easily in the holes to crochet around the edge of the blanket.

With the seam ripper, I had some holes too big and some I had to push hard to get the hook through and my hands were killing me. It took ages. With the Fiskars perforated blades it took seconds, literally seconds to cut the edges and start crocheting easily.

This is BLISS, I am in heaven. Off to order more blades for our volunteers to use for charity work. Thank you SO MUCH, Fiskars for making these blades! We can help so many more families now that it takes way less time with the blades and our hands will no longer be killing us! I highly recommend these blades, they are awesome. I love the price, too. I can actually afford them and buy more of them. There is a company that makes something similar but they cost way more than this.

Nope, I didn't get them for free, I bought them at full price and LOVE them. I just had to share good news!

RORAIMA Instant Dog Tent review

This is a very impressive dog tent that I can use inside or outdoors. The dog tent came well packaged in a double box and the tent, itself, has a black zipped carrying case to make it easy to take with me when I travel with my Medical Alert Service Dog. The tent is made from a durable fabric on the bottom and walls and has breathable mesh fabric incorporated on the upper part of the tent for…

Achoro Universal Travel charger

My new travel adapter is so convenient and all in one block.  It arrived working, except for the slider that accesses the plugs for the US/Australia and New Zealand is jammed and won’t allow those plugs to extend. The plugs for the UK and Europe slide out easily. I can also charge my devices through the USB plugs on the side. My old world travel adapter takes a drawstring bag with lots of parts…

Laminated Jumbo OFFICE THINK Calendar 3′ by 3′

This calendar by Office Think is well thought out and so convenient to use for the task tracking our business needs. The calendar comes with tacks to pin it to the wall but it is easier for us to use it on a magnetic board and roll it up when transporting it to another inventory room or location. It comes with felt pens and a genius eraser.  Why genius? The company put two magnets on the back of…

The Krista Bifold RFID Wallet

I just got a new wallet that I fell in love with. It’s taken me some time to replace the one I had before because it cost so much (yes, we all hang on to things that may not be exactly what we were looking for but we want to get every penny’s worth out of the product!) and it had a lot of pockets for everything I like to have in a wallet.  Well, my old wallet finally died – the snaps gave out on…

Charity quilt for child in hospital – this little boy loves the Cardinals!

This quilt was certainly made with a lot of love. We used a Cardinals t-shirt purchased at Walmart as we couldn’t find any St Louis Cardinals fabric to use. Walmart also had the perfect red, blue and yellow fabric to go with the red shirting material with logo. We strip quilted the quilt and purchased stabilizer to iron on the back of the shirt that we had to carefully cut open on the seams to…
