Also, I decided to buy myself one of these thanks to an awesome deal on a blog I read and some Christmas money from my very generous in-laws (and some I've been saving as well). I have been experimenting with it the last couple of nights and I am SOOOO excited that they just announced that they have developed some fusible interfacing that allows the Silhouette to cut fabric too!! Ohhhh baby. The more I play with it, the more ideas I have for it! I can't believe the precision too. I was able to cut out very ornate shapes that would fit inside a 1"x1" square. Seriously, this thing is awesome.
I'm realizing that I haven't shown any progress made on our house since being put back together, and I think that's because I'm waiting for everything to be really "done" (whenever that will be), but I now have a wall next to our kitchen table that I'm trying to decide what to do with. I know I definitely want something white there, to lighten things up, and maybe I'll hang some plates, but I had a fun idea to cut out some white vinyl (that came with my Silhouette) to put there. My initial idea was to put the word "eat" somewhere and have plates hanging. I realized it would be really easy for me to test what it would look like by just cutting out paper first, and I could even do mock plates! Well, when I was cutting out the plates, I cut out concentric circles (just to test it, right?) and I couldn't help but think they looked like eyeballs. Several sheets of paper later, we now have a guest in our home.
We are calling him "Jacque Français" and The Frog got a real kick out of him this morning.
Notice the "eat" too. I think it's kind of cute, but Jay is not a fan. Oh well, at least our wall won't be empty until I can find something else. :)
PS I'm in the process of recovering our bench cushions. I'm totally aware of how bad they look with the green walls :D

That is hillarious, Libby. Maybe I can borrow him when you're done - it might help me stay on my diet if I have that guy staring me down in the kitchen :). I LOVE the green color - and hope you're still up for me stealing it for my kitchen! I'm trying to get my office/laundry room done first, but I'd love to find that color and find a couple coordinating colors for the other rooms on the main floor! The machine sounds awesome!
Hi Libby! Love the new houseguest! & I think the "eat" looks fun :)
