Cricut - Flannel Blankets

Update - I posted this on a couple of cricut forums and someone made this comment:
"I’ve read that a lot of people recommend to use flocked or glitter htv. Something about the regular htv shows the “fuzzy” texture too much through it and it wrinkles. "

I started with the popular red truck graphic.  I ungrouped it, removed the tree, and then chose attach, to make it all one color.  To add the name underneath, I went to my cheat sheet of favorite fonts and chose Dk Jambo. Then I selected all and flipped it horizontally.

I measured the corner of the blanket and decided to resize the image to about 5x3.

For my first one, I used the silicone pad under the blanket, and parchment paper on top.  I had my iron between wool and cotton.  That's a little too warm - I moved it back to before the wool setting for the rest.  

And still, every one, when I pulled back the plastic looked like this:

I put parchment paper over the top, and pressed for about 5 seconds at a time, until they smoothed out.  Normally I press 10 seconds at a time, but I was being very cautious with these.

The blankets were $2.99 at Kmart.

I made these for my daughter in laws, along with pillows, this Christmas.  I'd like to make more, but I'm just not certain how well they are going to hold up.  The vinyl just does not seem to go on these as well as it does on other fabrics.  But it does seem secure..  I just don't know.  They do look nice.

Instructions for the pillows are here:

On the tree behind the blankets is my Gilmore Girls tree - instructions for those ornaments are here:

How to Solve The Geocaching August Souvenir Puzzle #1

In August 2016, Geocaching is doing a series of souvenirs based on "missions" premium members receive as puzzles the week before the mission.  Non premium members just receive the answer the weekend of the mission.   The first puzzle was VERY simple, so simple that many were overthinking it. The bottom of the first plate gives you the hint to solve this - "A six is G" A= 6 letters after A = ABCDEF G C= 2 letters after C = CD E N= 1 letter after N = N O Continuing with the next 3 plates until you have the code to type into the page linked in the email, where the mission was revealed.  The answer had to be entered completely in lower case, I think that may have been more confusing than the actual puzzle. :-) On the 3rd plate, for W6 - you go back to the start of the alphabet.  So it was WXYZAB C If you completed the mission, finding a cache with more than 10 favorite points that week-end, you received this souvenir: For us, this meant traveling a bit, since we've ...

Dueling Hot Dog Stands In Upstate New York

While on our ASPGB 2017 road trip, our plans were changed a bit by some minor car trouble.  A quick Yelp search turned up these two hot dog stands nearby, and we decided to check them both out.  One meal at each place, that we split. We started at Taffy's, which according to Yelp reviews, is THE place for milkshakes. This is a super fun place.  All of the seating is outdoors, and almost all of it consists of these great gliders with canopies. But the surprising part was the food.  The food was REALLY good. The hotdogs had an a great taste.  The milkshake was fantastic (and came in soooooo many flavors - a whole wall of flavors) .  We got sweet potato fries with honey, and they were really good too. Spoiler alert - this place was my favorite, and I'd go out of may way to go back here again.   Next we drove the very short distance to Ted's.  This place is more of a chain, or at least there are more than one of them.  Apparently it's considered ...

Dr Doolittle's Roadside Cafe & Creamery

The "Lower" Restaurant.  There's a second restaurant up the hill, right next to this. I originally saw this place on one of the many roadside PA facebook groups I follow.  I thought it would be a fun place to stop for lunch on our way to the ASPGB 2017 - and I was not disappointed. There's normally an amish buggy here, being pulled by either the dinosaur or Sasquatch - but it was missing when we were here.   I've seen photos of an alpaca and goats here..  near this barn area.  We didn't see them when we stopped, they might have all been inside? There's a lot of road noise if you eat outside, but we sat right at the front of the outdoor seating, not realizing that there was more outside seating behind the walk up counter.  Just go back past the party barn, and you can sit between the train cars below, and the back of the lower restaurant. There are train cars everywhere you turn... I really wanted to play mini golf - but we didn't have time, and I'm...
