My Cricut Projects in 2017



In the last part of August 2017, I bought this magic machine.  I still don't completely understand all that it does - but here are a few of the things I have made with it in 2017!

       
 
Potholders & Dishtowels, Pillows & Curtains
How to Sew Simple Envelope Covers, and make simple throw pillows
Christmas Pillows - including how to layer the vinyl




  

 

T-shirts.  MANY t-shirts, and so many of this Red Friday design - Especially since our son is deployed, we all wanted one of these.



Count Down Boards
made with the dollar tree dry erase boards



Soap Dispensers
From Dollar Tree, decorated with Cricut designs.  The how to and all of the designs are here: http://fieldsofhether.blogspot.com/2017/12/decorating-soap-dispensers-with-cricut.html

A birth announcement elephant!  One of my absolute favorite projects, I can't wait to make more of these!


A thrift store redo.  I bought this old pail, and coasters, from our local thrift store, painted them, and added vinyl.  I love this garbage can so much!



Dollar Tree Tote Bags!
These are tricky to iron, the fabric melts easily

Soap labels!  For the first time ever, I am consistantly, and easily, labeling my soap!  I write the labels with the markers in cricut, then send them to cut.
 

EOS Cards & A Gift Card Holder
Reindeer cards that hold the EOS chapstick.  I'm sure I'll be making more of these for Valentines Day and Easter...

The gift card holder was a purchased design from: https://www.jamieandjenn.com/


Glass Etching
I've etched a few projects - but my biggest were plates from BIg Lots, that I did for Christmas Cookie plates for our neighbors

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 ...

Fonts With Tails (Glyphs) Cheat Sheet

Glyphs are extra characters in fonts.  For fonts like Samantha (a paid font - there is no free version) you have to use a character map to access the extra swirls. There are a few fonts, such as I Love Glitter, where you can quickly add swirls (nothing as ornate as Samantha, but still pretty!) just by adding a few characters such as * \ [ ] or ().  I call them "easy glyphs". Download all four of these cheat sheets as a pdf file, here.  If that link does not work (too much traffic) Try This One. Links to download each font are found under the photos.

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 ...
