Getting better with the Cricut

[Velodromed]

Starting to get this cricut thing down. Right now the most difficult part is weeding. All the little bits and pieces in this one made it very difficult. It looks good though and I am happy

Did you hand weed all of that to transfer tape?

Yup. The tiny compass drove me nuts but I took my time and did it 99.5% perfect lol. The skinny letters were a pain also. Hell all of it sucked to weed

Should see the shirts my wife’s making for the kid! We got a large flat press and it’s freaking great. Got shirt stock in today for doing ones for me.

I listen to a lot of Jimi Hendrix and I think it rubs off on my wife she makes up the shirt Themes. This was yesterday‘s project.

Gf told me she would kill me if I ever ask for one of the Calvin's again. Took her HOURS to do 3 of the small ones for my RCs. But took less than 10 minutes to do the one for my 1.1 truck

I tried to save the relationship by telling her to forget it but *luckily* she is as stubborn as me. You know what they say about the Dutch; wooden shoes, wooden head, wooden listen.....lol

That’s great! You need to get on that and weed the stuff yourself though. Once you get used to it it’s not so bad, just got to go very slow and patient. it’s one hell of a lesson in patience.

I’m working on getting down the program and machine now so I can start putting my own stuff together. We also Got a color printer so we can start doing stuff in color.
I have… ideas

I do a lot of decals at work, some suck to weed, some don't, I actually kind of enjoy it, but some materials are a real bugger to work with.

I really haven't the patience for it. Plus it
involves some computery stuff. I'm not hopeless, I CAN turn a computer on. But I spent most of my life gaining practical knowledge. So when the Zombie Apocalypse finally hits, nobody will find me wandering aimlessly holding my phone to the air desperately looking for a wifi signal so I can Google what to do lol. Besides, I believe she does it just so I can't say she is all negative about my hobby.

Yup, that’s me much of my life. Lately though I’ve been wandering away from my comfort zone and rather like it.

My step daughter asked me if she could try weeding a small extra compass I had. I warned her it was hard, but then she did it better then me with her little fingers and 9 year old eyes…
