Since STS has changed up to a quarterly instead of monthly, I might play more often.

And on a slightly crafty obsessive note, my husband just bought a CNC machine to cut vinyl stencils. (Think a Cricut only no cartridges. We can design our own graphics.) He'll use it to make masks for the electronics that he builds. I can use the vinyl for whatever. We already have a handheld sand blaster so bye bye goopy etching cream. I foresee lots of glass etching, t-shirt stencilling and over all silliness with this new toy.

I AM looking for some fun cutouts to decorate a huge blank wall in my living room- is that something you can do with your new toy?

I'll have to investigate to see what colors the vinyl comes in that will go through the machine, but yeah, if we can draw it up in Paint, we can do it.

Ooh, sounds like a wonderful new toy Trouble T.    Have fun!

I have good crafty news too!  Lana is learning to knit!  She is busy working away on a simple stockinette stitch scarf.  She is so excited about it.  She was asking me how to make a pointed hat and how to make a cowl.  Hehe.

Yay! I hope she sticks with it!

I'm so excited about your new machine Indigo. I'd love to have you make me some as well.

So cool!

Happy knitting to Ms. Lana!
