I finally started using my new Cricut machine. One of the first things I made was this sash for my granddaughter who is the state of Wisconsin Poppy Princess for the American Legion Auxiliary. I think it turned out great. Plus it matches her dress very well.
After making the sash, my legion friends noticed it. They asked if I could make them some ribbons with names on them. I told them I was a novice but I would be happy to give it a shot. So I bought some ribbon.
I made the names up in Design Space and added a few stars. It felt like a nice and patriotic addition. I used a YouTube video demo to apply the lettering to the ribbon choosing to use only the red because the blue was grosgrain which meant there was a texture to it. I thought the lettering would adhere to the satin ribbon a little better than the grosgrain.
For a first try, I think they turned out great.
We spent a week on vacation in northern Wisconsin. It was a wonderful week away and when we're gone, our friends come to our house twice a day and hang out with our cats. Our older cat, Ruxin is on hypothyroid medicine and has been for about a year. Our friends just love Ruxin so very much that we know he is well taken care of when we're away.
