Nothing like a new die to get me crafting although truth be told I did start the double LO before the die actually arrived.
Many thanks to Cindy who managed to find a source for the much wanted circle wreath die and as it wasn't that expensive we thought we'd have a go ordering from Ebay/China.
It took 18days to arrive, didn't cut too well in it's original state (3 dies held together by metal tabs), so I separated them and did a double run through the Cuttlebug individually and all OK.
I managed to use the good cuts AND the not go good ones on my layout entitled THING.
If you are of an age you'll remember The Addams Family's helping hand called Thing. I'd fussy cut my pre-op hand photo and this was what came to mind.
Got a load of dies stacking up on order from Kraft Crazy, expecting to be crafting much more when I eventually get those.
Have done a jigsaw too. It's of
Burning Shed a music supplier that my husband uses "a lot".
I made myself do the sky first and the rest was pretty straight forward.
I've had a little play with the fact that the 1000 piece jigsaws are made using a 500 piece die which is rotated for the second half of the picture.
It takes all sorts....
And for the record my desk on Saturday - Hubby's 66th birthday...
Totally inspired by Jan's Poppy bag fabric from last week.
So I got out my pieces of that same fabric and made my Hubby a couple of covers for his wheat heat bags (beany/hotty).
Nice surprise when he got back from his cycle ride.
Happy WOYWW Everyone
Love your jigsaw playing! Modern art perhaps! I refuse to buy anything made in China knowingly. I have had some duff craft products and there seems to redress if things are faulty. Some of the dies are so cheap though 🙄. Any more music from the harp? Happy WOYWW. Angela #10
ReplyDeleteLoved see8ng your version of what to do with the poppy fabric, the 2heat bags are a great idea! Loved the patterns in the jigsaw too, I’d do that sort of thing as well!

I've never heard of Craft Crazy and will have to look them up. I've had moulds from China and always been pleased with them but dies maybe not so much but they are cheap. Loving the poppy fabric, gorgeous. Wishing you a very happy woyww, Angela x12x
ReplyDeleteLove how you have been playing with the jigsaw BJ. What fab poppy fabric for those covers too. A fun LO this week as well. Stay safe and Happy WOYWW. Sarah #3
ReplyDeletewhat a fab jigsaw! I do remember Thing! that's a really fun layout! thanks for visiting, just about to have tea, so very late today! Helen #1
ReplyDeleteBrilliant jigsaw! How cool is that! Sorry I’m so late. Was at Kraft Craszy on Friday lunchtime and she mentioned that she was off to the post office to post stuff to you, so hope it won’t be long now!
