Love the spares - a good crafter never throws anything away. Looking at the syringe made me laugh at what is on my desk sometimes when crafting. Looks a little like the contents of the bathroom, make up sponges, shaving foam, nail polish remover, you know what I mean.

( I just really hate that coming home in the dark thing) they should just move all the clocks to that spring forward time and leave them alone.

I never knew how bad mine was until I added the painting table underneath an awesome overhead. I've no windows to speak of, but with no sunshine it wouldn't help. 2 years ago I replaced my big shot with another. He too said not salvageable and no hesitation pitched it. I smile and sometimes rebell, he can throw my things so easily. But my tour around the outside buildings shows he hoards away all his broken bits and bobs also. So now I have some defense. He uses his with his off time metal creations.So I don't complain,but He doesn't notice when I use mine. Have a wonderful day and thanks for sharing.

My dining room was designed - surprisingly for dining with more subtle lighting, it is proving tricky with my ladies on these darker days.

Just put it between a folded sheet of copy paper first, lol. I have to admit, crafting is probably the only workout my iron ever gets!I picked up the use of a syringe for silicone glue off you, brilliant idea.

Mine is bunged up with dried gel and no amount of poking about has cleared it so I will have to invest in a new one. The new dies look very useful, as do the spare parts for the die-cutting machine. Have a wonderful week.
