- My sister and I had a Lego collection that was pretty impressive. I still have a small selection; she has a ton of old and even more new for her kids. While pursuing the weekly list at Shutterbean this weekend, I saw this – might be the first time I actually participate in a startup fund project.
- My first job out of college was copy editing at a newspaper. Back when newspapers were still thriving. This is the kind of thing copy editors used to debate while they waited for new stories to come in to edit.
- And this was the funniest thing I’ve seen in a long, long time. The first kid is funny. The second kid is funnier. And the mom? Oh my goodness.
I made this
Initial Letter Bookmarks
This set out as an easy, quick craft.
Mr. SuzerSpace and I like to read.
So we need bookmarks! And of course they need to be personalized.
In my favorite font.
And that’s where things got a little complicated. Fortunately, by knowing a few tricks for cutting settings, I was able to get this one back on track pretty quickly.
Bicycle Pant Leg Keeper
Bicycle riding season is getting close, so I’m crafting to get ready.
In the Spring and Fall, I’m still wearing jeans when I ride, and even though my chain has a guard on it, I’m still pretty fearful my pant leg is going to get caught. I tend to have a more pant leg around my ankles than the average person, because I’m short.
I know how to hem jeans. I just don’t đ .
Couch Mix
I’ve previously admitted to my weakness for onion chip dip. The quick review â I love that stuff so much I have to put it on lock down and only eat it from Thanksgiving through New Year’s (with two exceptions – Super Bowl and Daytona 500 weekends).
I have a similar control issue with the snack mix that is universally called Chex Mix, whether or not it actually uses the brand name cereals.
Last year, we took a look at what we were actually eating in that mix, and changed up the recipe. I can’t realistically call it healthier, but I’d be willing to call it âbetterfied.â And because it now packs more nutrition and way more fiber than most snacks, I’ve removed it from the quarantine calendar system.
Teeny Tiny Tip: Saving Vinyl
Very often when I craft I just want to use my Silhouette Cameo
I always draw a box around the item to be cut. I weed that first, which gives me a safe area to then weed the actual artwork. No big pieces of vinyl get caught up in my actual work.
I then save the file the same name as the color of the sheet of vinyl (so, in this case, I’ve called it “Silver” because that’s the color I was working with).
I turn the previous artwork’s cut lines to “No Cut” in the cut settings window.
This gives me a guide for a good location of new art on the sheet each time.
