My cat, Lucky, has diabetes. (Yes, this is the cat who also has a heart murmur, hyper cardiomyopathy, inflammatory bowel disease, and asthma.) We found this out in May and we’re still trying to get the insulin dose right. If I take him to the vet to have his glucose levels checked, stress causes his blood sugar to go way, way up, so I’m testing him at home with a little glucometer. The test strips come in a little vial with an attached lid that snaps tight shut. It is PERFECT (once empty) for keeping needles in. Not only is it just the right size, these vials have a dessicant built into the lining, so they should keep rust down. If you know someone who has diabetes (and from what I read you probably do, whether you realize it or not) ask them to save you a vial. (The vials for human test strips are the same — we started with a human glucometer but they don’t work right for cats.)

I ordered "Stitching the Standard" and received it quickly. I sat down one Saturday afternoon and blended colors so that I could get started. I've been working on it for about a week and will take a picture of it after one month has passed so that I can show you my progress! I decided today that I was also going to start bringing it to work so that I can work on it during my lunch hour as well as in the evenings! I am extremely pleased with your website and your products -- and especially your tips ! I'm already planning on my next order !
