My Wild Side of crafting

Hello fellow crafters!!!

Before I show you the t-shirt that I designed you must get

to know my granddaughter Marion.

Pictured above is Marion she has a couple health

issues and just a few years ago she had to have rods

placed in her back. She is the most positive and go getter

that I have ever met she does not let her disabilities

slow her down.

Below is a picture of Marion along side her parents, my

husband , our son and myself.

Marion has a very complex sense of humor. Her gramps

(my husband) and Marion have this contest of name

calling and try and come up with some weird names for

each other. I really don't get it. They also try and outdo

each other in come backs. 

I know she can be strange sometimes just look at the

next picture.

Well Marion turned 16 last year and because of her disabilities

will never be able to drive. So my husband wanted me

to make a shirt for Marion to lift up her spirits and so

the verse he had seen on some web sight not sure where

 and well I just used shapes from the Sure Cuts A lot program

to make it look like a person in a wheel chair and my husband

wanted me to add flames which I did. Later I did find

something similar is already created. Any way my

 interpretation of what my husband wanted is pictured

below. It is not meant to offend anyone. Marion loves her

shirt and her mom and I have come to the conclusion that

we may have to operate to get it off of her. Hahaha.

I know that my post was a little long I am sorry.

Thank you for stopping by and reading a little about

my crazy family, Have a great day!

Husband in the house

Hello fellow crafters!

Well I missed a week of blogging. I have been organizing

my craft room and so I decided I needed to destash some

craft items. I have been spending time uploading things to

my Etsy shop.

Well this week that I thought I would have time to get some

real crafting done my husband was at home most of the week

because of the bad weather. He wanted me to make some hats

for him so that is what you see in the first picture.

Well in order to use the hat press first I needed to make some

of the heat press pillows. So off I went to get the materials to

do that. Below in the picture is the heat press pillows that I

made. Yes I do know how to sew. Hahaha

Once the pillows were done then I had to change out the

flat heat plates for the hat press which is pictured below.

Well I am not the bit impressed with the heat press but

I did get three hats done for my husband.

 

I don't know if any of you who own heat presses have done

anything with the hat attachment but I found that it does not

sit square with each other that is the plates and even using

the heat pillows I had to rotate the hats side to side to get all

the letters pressed on. I would like to hear from others if

they have tried their hat presses and any tips they may have.

I also got a shirt done and I will share that in my next post.

I have been a little apprehensive about sharing it. Not that it

is rated R but that someone might take it the wrong way.

Thank you for stopping by. Have a wonderful day.

I love my Pitbull

Good morning fellow crafters!!!!

Looks like maybe just one new post for this week.

Not because I have not been crafting but because the

weather has been unseasonably warm here in Southern

Oregon.

Last September I ended up in the hospital for an

emergency appendectomy that I couldn't do certain

things like work out in the yard so with the weather

being so nice I am taking advantage of it by getting

out in the yard and catching up on the things that

didn't get done.

In the header picture is some small treat boxes

that I made. The small one holds one Hershey kiss

the bigger one will hold two.

The picture of the Pitbull is an svg file that I created

it will be for sale in my Etsy shop this weekend.

I am working on creating svg, cut files that can

be used on just about anything glass to fabric and

everything in between.

I hope that this inspires you to try new things.

Anything is possible!!!

Thank you for stopping by. Enjoy your day! 

Welcome 2018

Hello my fellow crafters!!!!!!

I know it has been better than six months since my

last post not because I made a choice to stop blogging

just things in my life got hectic.

Life brings changes kids grow up, get married, have

kids of their own etc. Before I go into more detail of

my life the pictures are of a new venture I am on.

A cutting machine and vinyl.

Last year I became a grandmother. To be honest I

wasn't real excited about it not sure why but I really

wasn't feeling happy or excited about anything. In August

I took a class to learn more about my new cutting machine

the Brother ScanNCut and the Sure Cuts A Lot program.

The infamous and knowledgeable Jen Blausey came to

Medford Oregon to teach a group of us. If you have the SNC

machine Jen has a facebook page and a YouTube channel

under Brother ScanNCut,

Even after learning from the best it seemed more like a

chore then being fun.

In September I ended up in the hospital for an

emergency appendectomy. Looking back I believe

that this was a lot of the problem as to me just not

excited or joyous in life. I wasn't finding joy or

happiness in crafting, gardening or anything else.

As I recouped then my daughter got married the

first part of November then the holidays snuck up

on me .

(Pot Holder 2)

I took all of January getting all my tax things in

order and also organizing and rearranging my craft

room since I have also added a heat press to my

crafting tools. I don't plan on giving up the paper

crafting I am just branching out. Hahaha.

I will gradually get back into blogging again 

along with getting more merchandise into my

Etsy shop.

I hope for now to blog maybe a couple of times

a week so stay tuned.

Thank you to those that e-mailed me concerned

as to what has been going on and to make sure that

I am ok. 

Thank you for stopping by and reading my blog.

Enjoy your day!!!!!!
