What a Week!!

   This has been a hectic week. First an earthquake on Tuesday afternoon & lots of clean up when I got home from work. Then we had another smaller quake/aftershock on Wednesday night around 1am that woke me up.  And if that's not the highlight of the week, a hurricane hits today.  I've only lost electric once today. Sad to say that messed up the bread I was baking.  But all is not lost. I've used the day of being inside to do fun stuff.  
  
   I've been wanting to try cutting fabric with my Cricut. I made pj bottoms for the grandson that had trains on them and decided to make a tshirt with a train on it to match. I went on You Tube and watched a couple of videos (thanks to all who have posted their "how to") but even with that I had trouble. But I'm not one to give up easy so I kept trying.  Here's my results - I used Boys Will Be Boys for the train and calico fabric I had in my stash.

  I didn't think that the train showed up very good since the outline wasn't defined so I decided to put a blanket stitch around the train.



  I had some trouble with the fabric not cutting well and raveling. I used Wonder Under but a lightweight type. I'm going to try again with a heaver weight & see how that works.  I've got a Robot tshirt to make.
