Dirty, Clean or Busy!

Hi everyone!

Often I get asked by my hubby if the dishwasher is dirty or clean* ... some times one day rolls into the next for me and I can't remember if I've stacked it or cleared it so instead of my usual comment of 'I don't know - have a look' I decided to make a dishwasher magnet:

I used the usual Dirty and Clean wording and included the Busy side too as 'someone'* has opened it mid cycle a few times ;-)

I designed the template for the final product, chose some patterns that are standard in the Silhouette software, played around with their size and angle and used a stencil font.

I printed it on glossy paper and printed a few more layers to make it less flimsy and attached 3 flat magnets.

I love the way it turned out and so far it's doing a good job!

{Photos not the greatest as there was too much glare from the dishwasher door}

FYI - Hubby loves it ... phew!

Happy Crafting!!

Daddy's corner!

Hi everyone!

It's my husbands birthday on Friday and I had no idea what to get him for his special forty-something day! He's always 'hogging' the right side of the couch so I decided to make him his own cushion (cover) to mark his spot :-).

A few of my crafty friends in Canada suggested a cushion cover from Ikea so I just happened to be there yesterday for something else and found the cover for $4.99. They have various colours but I went for the grey (UK spelling!). Gurli cushion cover.

I used my awesome Silhouette machine and flocked heat transfer vinyl and my trusty ol' iron...

Nice and simple but marks his corner - I've left it in on the couch in the living room so it will be interesting to see if he notices it before Friday.

Have a happy day!

Fathers Day Card!

I created a 'workbench' card yesterday from the Silhouette Store by Lori Whitlock, and my son thought it was cool and was excited to give it to his Dad for Fathers Day!
I shared the card on a few Facebook groups that I belong to which I know no one else can see unless they belong to that particular paper group ... well I made the mistake of also posting the card to Lori Whitlock's Facebook page which I now realize is 'public' ... oooops!
So last night hubby mentions that the card is nice and asks if I made it ... double oooops!

Happy Early Fathers Day James ;-)
