I played some more with my Silhouette, made two birthday cards and then decided to make cut-files for appliqué. I used the design of an owl soft-toy I made some time ago, but cut the separate parts out of paper before I would do it from fabric.
Problems is I now want more coloured paper ... As if my "studio" is not already overcrowded with fabric, threads, knitting yarn, and so on and so forth. :)

Nice job on these, Martine...and I totally understand the need for more!

Thank you. I might try to convince myself that it is for practice purposes only as fabric is more expensive than paper :)

So much fun, so little time!

Yes, horrible isn't it, I have some urgent things waiting, like repairs for my son and granddaughter and I was taught that duty goes before fun. Did I listen, not really...
Good for you!
LOL...... that's funny, Martine, I didn't listen either......

But without practice and supplies, how will you ever learn how to use the machine and all of it's potential? I don't think you have wasted any time or taken away from your duty at all. Experiment and have lots of fun. You are doing so well learning how to use it.

Thank you. I'll list and maybe even print all the excuses you girls have given me and read them when I need to convince myself I can go shopping for more.

Thanks. If that's a statement for my creativity it seems to be a bit chaotic at the moment and filling a big part of the house :).

It really is a great toy to have. And of course I now want the upgrade of the software. Costs €50 (about $60) here, $30.99 through Amazon USA, but they don't send it to Europe!

Isn't it fun? Love your owl! I got the silhouette having cutting fabrics in mind, but then got obsessed with card making. Unfortunately, there's still only 24 hours a day.

Same applies to me, I have been making lots of cards and no fabric so far...

Find a printer and ask for his end trims. You'll get lots of pretty colors and textures, but mostly small rectangles. When I taught school the Dad of one of my students was a printer and he gave trims to me by the boxload to keep from trashing it. I had a $-0- art budget, so this helped quite a bit!

Thank you for the idea. I still have two large boxes with letter size paper and cardstock from a printer (actually from the local jail that stopped their printing department) and I gave away about half a dozen.
This week I made monoprints with latex to get more colours and texture, so one box of paper is now a stumbling block in my sewing room. :)
My problem is space!
