Cricuteer

My family gave me a Cricut back in 2020 for a pandemic hobby. I'm embarrassed to say I never really took to it. For one thing, it's super proprietary. You have to register online just to interface with a machine that is sitting on your own table, eating your electricity. I'm fairly insulted. Even my InstaPot doesn't jerk me around like this.

My daughter got one of these last year and has made all sorts of neat stuff. This year she's doing t-shirts for our annual FFF (Forced Family Fun--"Mom says you will show up and you will have fun whether you want to or not. Damn it!") Weekend. I usually have shirts made but that was getting more expensive, so this year everyone paid for their own shirts and I told J I'd pay for whatever supplies she needed and her time. I'm sure she told me she orders the vinyl on Amazon, but did say that she has to be careful as she's got some that didn't stick very well, so I guess read the reviews. I don't know anything about the subscription thing though.
I had a canvas bag I lug by knitting around in and she did this for me.

"My Ball Sack!" LOL Also your Forced Family Fun sounds like my in-laws' annual retreats. The fun we have is *usually* unforced.

Your bag is very cute! I can see it's worth it to learn this silly machine.

"My Ball Sack!" LOL I know it was a toss up between that and "I like Big Balls!" with a couple of balls of yarn. I thought it was hilarious however my one son-in-law's reaction (not J's hub but my other s-i-l) was "Eww... that's gross!" So I responded, all innocently of course, "What? It's a sack I carry my balls of yarn in, for goodness sake, get your mind out of the gutter!" Bwahahahahaha!!!

And as for FFF, the kids and grandkids must be having fun, because they keep coming back every year. ;-D

ETA: I meant to tell you I love the art work for the stickers. I think once you master the thing you'll have fun with it.

Hey, stickers are my classroom motivation, and I can say my kids would totally wear those!

I've always been mad for stickers. Your comment makes me wonder if started with my Kindergarten teacher!
