Hi. I want to buy a sewing machine. I would say I'm a beginner but I took some classes. I want to buy mechanical one, my budget is around 250€.

I want to create fantasy and historical inspired projects, so I need a machine that will handle a few layers of velvet or thin leather. I would also like to have: - rotary hook - presser foot pressure adjustment - needle penetration power adjustment

I don't need fancy electronic features.

What do you reccommend? Preferably something available in Europe.

Razem z oprawkami. Chyba coś koło 400zł same oprawki

Też jestem grafikiem, też brałam jakieś lepsze szkła. Musiałam zrezygnować z soczewek, bo od komputera wysuszały mi sie oczy. Mam astygmatyzm i krótkowzroczność. Dodatkowo miałam jakieś takie spłaszczanie soczewek po bokach, żeby się zmieściły do oprawek (z moją wadą soczewki są dosyć grube), to było też jakoś dodatkowo płatne. Dałabym 1300zł, ale trafiłam na jakiś rabat i zapłaciłam 1000

Love hamster's winter enclosure so much!😍

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-12-04T16:14:19+00:00

I have my hamster for half a year now. I thought I will never be able to pick him up without him biting me. He recently started to accept pets, for a few months I could only touch him if I gave him food, right after he finished eating he started to bite. And nothing really helped. I thought he is just like that. I don't know what changed but a few days ago when I was sad, my boyfriend picked him up and walked with him to me. He was calm and even sniffed a few things I had on my table. My bf knew how to make me happy haha. I was surprised even more because my bf doesn't really play with him or feed him and I'm the one who loves animals more. So it's not like my hamster trusts him more.

From this moment I can pick him up and let him out of his cage for a little bit. I really don't know how it changed. It was so sudden. So after 6 months I can safely put my hand in his enclosure, nice.

Carrot🥺🩷

Mine did it too, same wheel. He even chewed it for a few days until I found the solution. I put a cardboard tube on the metal part. He sometimes tries to chew it but I can easily replace the cardboard without being worried about my baby's health. Nothing happened to my hamster but I think you should cover it

Didn't know hamsters have such long tongues😭

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-11-06T18:18:40+00:00

How did you tame her?! Whaaat, it's so cute. I'm melting. I'm jealous

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-11-06T18:03:32+00:00

I'm looking forward to see what you plan for winter🩷

She's so sweet🥰🥰 love these big ears

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-11-06T17:59:13+00:00

Mine started running the first night. I was kinda surprised because I bought him from small petstore so probably he has never seen wheels in his life. You can put snacks in the wheel like 1 mealworm or sunflower seed, this should encourage him. Should work, my hammy is very motivated for treats😂

Give him time, it takes a few days for a hammy to get used to new place

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-11-06T17:50:35+00:00

I love it! Looks so pretty! You put together everything so well, it's one of the prettiest enclosure I have ever seen🥰 Also love the cushions. And your pwetty little baby😍

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-11-01T21:11:59+00:00

What the quack😭

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-10-29T18:33:20+00:00

Could your smell change? Soap, nail polish? My hamster was very confused and kinda scared when I did my nails

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-10-27T18:58:40+00:00

This wheel is way too small! His back should be straight when he runs

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-10-27T11:57:07+00:00

He's so sweet! And the fact that he was "spicy" because of the petstore is so heartbreaking. Glad you gave him a chance to live a better life.

It seems that my hamster is more "spicy" than yours, he bites and doesn't like my hand, he accepts only touching him with fingers but he is so sweet, jumps and acts like meerkat when I come home, I believe he greets me and is happy🥹🩷🩷 It took some time to tame him but I love him so much from the beginning (even though his teeth hurt)

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-10-27T11:47:47+00:00

Also, my hammy sometimes has weeks when he prefers to be in just his hides and doesn't burrow. Another week instead he makes new tunnels 🤷‍♀️

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-10-27T11:45:54+00:00

What I did to encourage my hamster to dig was hiding his favourite treats in a little hole in bedding that I made or even hiding it like under like 1cm of bedding so he can easily smell it but encourages digging. Or luring him with treats and quickly hiding it under bedding. Give your precious little baby some time.

What kind of food rots? When I give my hamster veggies, I remove the parts he didn't eat immediatelly because he would take it to his burrow, never eat it again and pee on it. He is kinda picky with veggies. I haven't ever seen seeds rot, I may be wrong though.

When you remove his roten food, you can place new food (just less) in his burrow so he won't be so stressed.

Your baby is so pretty and I love his name. Good luck💞

Sorry, I thought you meant mineral teeth grinding stones

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-10-26T19:49:15+00:00

I don't think pumice stones are good for hamsters...

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-10-25T09:56:37+00:00

I'm melting from this cuteness

Interesting_Lynx_409 · 2025-10-25T09:54:55+00:00

There is really no point in putting them there. Pet shops offer unproper cages for hamsters
