Then a long day on Saturday culminating in the event itself, and since then I've been too exhausted and needing to rest and recover from it all!

I am going to keep the old desk where it is but some of the stuff that is usually there will go into the new cabin. I have a lot of stock in the loft and that is all going in the cabin too so that I can get back to doing other projects which are generally messy and not really suitable to do in the house and which I've actually done in the Greenhouse in the past. I haven't said much about it recently because it's still not quite ready for stuff to be moved in as Des has been painting the inside but I have ordered the blinds so guess that means we're moving on a bit. I'm not in a rush just want to get it right....well as near as possible. The next job is a new table to go in there which will have casters and shelving below....well that's the plan so watch this space.

Those dies that take so many passes are so often destined to spend more time in the folder than on the machine, aren't they? Such a pity, as they are usually gorgeous!<br />Thanks so much for the card.<br />Take care.

Always a reason for getting the Dyson out for me, little bits all over the floor. Find dies very frustrating, I wish they all cut perfectly first time!

It looks a very detailed die so not surprised you don't go into conveyor belt production with it. Interesting about your light issues - up here in the far, though not the very far, north I work with the lights on almost all day at this time of the year. And that's despite having a window right in front of me. Ah well, living here has it's upside so shouldn't complain. Have a great week, tweaking the cookie cutter ornaments.

I have a ...Hi Julia, I feel your pin with that die. I have a gorgeous die set from Heartfelt Creations called Delicate Aster, and it does make a lovely layered flower, when I can get it to cut. Like yours, takes multiple passes, and rearranging of the die to get it to cut the flowers out.And often then I still have to cut them individually. Such a shame, as that means I rarely use it- too much faffing!
