Yarn and Cupcakes

I would say that my collection is big... and then I see others collections expanding across rooms and then giggle. But somehow the yarn laying places all twisted up and sitting in piles next to things looks almost romantic to me at times. I'm silly I know. But I look at it all and think of the textures and the lovely things that will be made out of it. But this is mine, in a basket that I did not buy intending to hold them all. Right now I am making a queen ann lace scarf that has the dark grey yarn and the pink crochet thread together. It looks adorable. But for winter, it would be beautiful against a dark grey or black wool jacket. I'm making it long too, I hate when I see beautiful scarfs that you want to also keep you somewhat warm too. So it should be able to circle around at least twice... I hope. Lol.

This is the darling little bunny I have cricut out and am putting on the back of the cards that I make. I adore her, bubbly and cute.

And this is one of the cupcake just a note cards that I made. I made 6 of them in two different prints with a larger flat cupcake in the inside cut from the American Alphabet already pre - installed on the anniversary cricut. And I just found out that also on that pre - installed cartridge there is some much needed phrases I am going to use lots. Next I am going to make an owl thinking of you card for a friend to go with a crocheted owl that I made her. I hope that she likes it.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

5th Anniversary Cricut !

The love of my life got me the 5th Anniversary Cricut. <3 (Thank you Love) And I absolutely adore it. It was a little hard to get used to and even thou I got it last month I just learned how to make a cut inside of another with a center point. It was easier before when I could move the cutter around where I wanted it, but now that I know how to do it it might get better. 

I got half a dozen owl thank you cards done and I'm working on another half a dozen ur sweet cupcake cards. That are super cute and sweet in their own way. I'm doing them full card size too. Nothing too small and they look just perfect. - My only complaint is this - the cutting mat that came with the 5th Ann. doesn't seem to be as sticky. So when I applied my paper it was sticky but now a month later it seems to not be sticking very well... last night I had to hold down the paper on the mat and was not to terribly happy about that. I need to look for my others that I have somewhere. 

Hmmmm... what else have I been doing? Oh well, after I looked around on etsy and knew I had a new cricut I decided to make a cover for it. Ya know, like a toaster cover but for the cricut. Tee hee. I know. Now it looks like a huge twinkie. 

The second is a little fuzzy because my cannon was acting up last night and I don't know specifically why. But at least I have one picture right now. I call it my over sized twinkie. But its super cute and I love it so. 

Hope your having a good afternoon, I'm here with a blanket draped over me because its chilly and I'm not feeling super.
