Peek Of The
Week Day has rolled around yet again and today I’d like to ring the changes by
sharing with you some of life’s mysteries…
Yesterday I
had the pleasure of doing a ‘March Madness Event’ show with Andy Love and among
other things we looked at the Cut Tidy, the tote bag, and we featured a Mystery
Die. It was the Mystery Die that got me
thinking about one or two recent mysteries…
The Mystery
Die featured was for sale for £14.39 if you’re in the club, and no, honest,
fingers crossed I hope to die, I do NOT KNOW what the Mystery Die is! Quite a few people assume I’m in on the
secret but just for the record, you know as much as I do!
The Cut Tidy
is a brilliant piece of kit and I’d be lost without it. But it’s a mystery how it works. No one has ever explained it to me and I’ve
never met anyone who does know how it works.
It’s magic! When I first got the Cut
Tidy I was told it was to make my die cutting tidier and cleaner, so I used to
put my card stock inside my Cut Tidy, fold the Cut Tidy over and put my die
over the top, which meant that when I cut it through my die stayed clean, and
it cut through the Cut Tidy WITHOUT cutting the Cut Tidy itself, and it cut
through the card stock! How that works
will always be a mystery to me!
But the
brilliant thing about using it that way is that all the little bits and pieces
of card stock were inside the plastic and the die was clean and ready to re-use
immediately. What I tend to do now quite
often is to put both the card stock AND the die inside the Cut Tidy, which
means if you have a die you sometimes need to shim or maybe have to cut a
second time, you won’t need to… this great trick was shown to me by the lovely
Nancy. Thanks Nancy!
Speaking of
hubby, on Friday he rang to say he’d had a long and stressful six day working
week so he was going to finish early and offered to meet me in our local pub for
a meal and a drink or two. I’d been busy
in my Craft Room as always and hadn’t had time to put my face on, and we both
arrived around about 3.45, both drooling at the thought of pub grub and not
having to cook! Then we were presented
with yet another mystery, when the bar staff told us rather apologetically that
they can’t take orders for food until 5.30!
The reason was never explained to us and the mystery deepened when we
realised the chef was already in the kitchen.
The pub was slowly but surely filling up with hungry people who
basically weren’t allowed to order food… so we all chewed our knuckles until
half past five!
And when my
pizza finally came the last mystery is… how can anyone hope to eat all this at
one sitting? I did my best but on the day my best just
wasn’t good enough!
