In the time since then, I’ve literally printed hundreds of hooks, acquired the new Silhouette Alta Plus — and learned a lot of 3D printing with these machines! I’m not really sure what I was afraid of! I have {Read More}

I heard a psychologist on the news today say that there are 2 responses to all that is going on right now — Either Fear or an Action Plan. She said that you choose what to focus on. Of course, we have to have a plan for everyone’s safety & well being. However, with all of the alarming news & updates that we seem to be getting hourly — and with so many of us “sequestered” at home {Read More}
I was so excited for this month’s Silhouette sale, because I absolutely love my Silhouette Mint. I feel it is often overlooked by its cousins, the Silhouette Cameo and Curio — but I was excited when it was first introduced & still am today!
