A lifetime ago (so, last fall), my sister’s kids’ school mascot became the chameleon. She’s always looking for little things to use for PTO events, and she has a cutting machine, so I drew up a little pencil (or straw) hugger design. It’s an odd little shape, but when it’s done you can gently lift […]
I looked up the history of the Cameo and was surprised to realize it’s not quite as old as I thought: it’s the pre-2014 version, but can’t be any older than 2011. It’s still had a lot of miles put on it, and today I finally let it do the thing it’s really designed for: […]
The Cameo may not be able to cut marine vinyl, but it can still do paper just fine. At least, fine when it has a decently sticky mat, which it doesn’t right now, but still reasonably fine. Yes, I’m aware one tire is mounted backwards. At least it’s the one on the back of the […]
Thank you for reminding me to put the pet-hair disclaimer on the new Etsy shop, Ramses. *sigh*
Well, I’m never going to be a Cricut brand ambassador, that’s for sure. I have an aging Silhouette Cameo. Silhouette has always been a little vague about the early version numbers, and I think “Cameo 1” covers a couple of slightly different models, but anyway, I have an old Cameo. It’s gotten progressively more noisy, […]
Of the three cats, Ramses (Turkish Angorish) is the one that is most likely to “help” with sewing. Poppi (Nebelungish) never ever gets up there; he doesn’t care for tables unless they have food on them. Sometimes Olivia (dilute torbieish) will sit behind the sewing machine and chase thread tails, but generally Ramses is the […]
I am still [mostly] obeying my boss the to-do list, so it is time to finally work on getting rid of the bulky faux furs. You may recall that last time I started this, I ended up making a giant plush Mew (which yes, is still unfinished – let me just put that on the […]
Wrapping up the latest batch of masks has sat at the top of my non-business to-do list long enough that I spent a little time last night top-stitching and elasticizing them. Most will go to family back in Kansas (where they’ve had considerably less of the Current Unpleasantness than we have here in New Jersey, […]
I had hoped to have the revised Wacky Chickens finished for today’s entry, but in fact they’re not even started. It got into the 90’s here (which is high summer temperature for these latitudes) and I decided getting into the attic for the faux fur didn’t sound fun when I had all the right colors […]
A light box, that is. Still playing around with the light box and camera settings. Despite the size of the thing (I got the 24×24) a horizontal picture of this many dragons captures the sides of the box. And that’s even when shooting 4×3. While technically probably for now my Etsy shop is exempt from […]
