Stencil-along - end of week 3 (almost)



The cutting mat and hobby cutter have just been packed away. The iron turned off. The cat and the milk bottles put out. The lights turned off. The ink left to dry.

I'm running a little late on my freezer paper stencil update this week. There was a hold-up. A big one. The culprit was the home PC - it overheated and threw a hissy fit. Being as my two-toned stencil image was on said PC, I also overheated and threw a hissy fit. There's nothing like a bit of good old-fashioned petulance, followed by some prolonged sulking.

Anyway, three cheers for Mr Hoppo Bumpo, who got the PC working again this evening. That deed was almost enough for me to overlook a disparaging comment about my stencil (the words that's weird, never feel that encouraging do they?).

Tune in tomorrow, if you'd like to see my weird two-toned stencil. If you'd like to see other freezer-paper stencils (which almost certainly will not be at all weird), check out the sidebar to the right.

  3. The image you posted in this post is really cool - I made that "ooo" noise of the happy crafter when I saw it. Can't wait to see the two-zone delight.
