Back To The Shaker Ornament Production Line...

Hi folks...it hasn't half turned chilly in my neck of the woods and I have a sneaky feeling the snow isn't far away but the cubbyhole crew have been as snug as bugs in a rug and as busy as bees...back on the Christmas Shaker Ornament production line. To be honest, that not strictly accurate, it's been a "down to one-man" job because my cubbyhole companion has been caught red-handed on more than one occasion, sneaking off to have a snooze...

while I'm doing my best to prioritise and multi task...

if only I could be in two places at once...

if only I was ambidextrous and had longer arms...

I could be die-cutting with both machines at once...

or die cutting with one hand and stamping with the other...

and the shaker ornament marathon die cutting session would be done in half the time.

They do say that you can't teach an old dog new tricks but I wonder if extra rations would persuade my cubbyhole companion to have a go at cranking one of those die-cutting machine handles.
And I've had lots of e-mails from the eagle eyed amongst you who have noticed the Tonic Studios glass cutting mat on my workdesk... I got it from Amazon UK for a great price and I love it...heat resistant and easy to clean up, just what this messy crafter needs.

Have fun whatever crafty project you're working on
