I laughed when I ...Hi Diana, thanks for your visit! I laughed when I read what you wrote about the Prespahn mats - I can imagine them looking at you and saying "Na-na-na-naaaa na!" I think there is probably a secret place where all the warped mats in the world go to die, like the elephants. My hubby said he cut one of mine into 4 pieces and finds them all useful in the workshop. What annoys me is that the manufacturers of those non-stick craft mats always say they are "heat proof" (i.e. they don't melt when you heat them) but they never tell you that they conduct heat to whatever is underneath and offer no protection, i.e. the usual cutting mat! That's how I warped some of mine. Also I warped one by putting my melt pot on it and the heat radiated downwards. Prespahn is definitely the way to go! Nothing warps those babies.<br /><br />Unfortunately the throat bug has turned into a full-blown cold and yesterday I felt absolutely horrible and feverish (cancer's a doddle in comparison!!). This a.m. slightly better, and hopefully I'll be over it by Thurs. for my hospital appointment. My hubby snuffled and coughed a bit for 2 or 3 days and that was it. Makes you sick, doesn't it...<br /><br />I've nearly finished the Pakistani card. It is full of shimmer and sparkle now! I'm super-thrilled with how it's turned out, and really want to do some more painting like this. I can't wait to start using all my new stash - I've got to make a birthday card and another thank you card this week and will probably break into some of it.<br /><br />Shoshi xxShoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698455695833611307.post-25516238148478905992021-07-17T13:28:45.476+01:002021-07-17T13:28:45.476+01:00Wonderful studio and great lighting too.

The light looks excellent in there. I love the new storage unit which I am sure will enable you to be more productive. I've got some old leather suitcases full of lace and trimmings - a real rummage fest but that's how I like it! They look so stylish and vintage. Re your cutting mat, been there, done that, got the teapot, broken the mug!! My hubby has 2 of my old warped mats and the other one is on my office desk. All my heating work (apart from regular crafty stuff which is safe on the Tim Holtz glass media mat) is now done on my ultra-heat proof Prespahn mica mats in the studio which I bought when I finally learnt the lesson about warping cutting mats!<br /><br />Thank you for your visit and for all your kind thoughts. I am continuing to do extremely well post-op but my ever-generous hubby has unfortunately given me his horrible throat bug and I'm feeling quite poorly with that at the mmoment.<br /><br />More stash arrived today - the ink pads I was waiting for. I can't wait to get stuck in with it all. My newly tidied studio is like a symbol of a new start which I hope will be the case after next Thursday when I have my post-op appointment and get the biopsy results. Hopefully no further surgery and/or chemo will be required. I'm not thinking too far ahead on that score.<br /><br />So glad you liked the design for the Pakistani card. It's nearly complete now, and the colours are super-vibrant. I'm really pleased with how it's turned out. Today I added lots of sparkle and shimmer.<br /><br />Happy belated WOYWW,<br />Shoshi x '18Shoshihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00028185699225457125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-698455695833611307.post-41491609244918353682021-07-15T22:02:49.712+01:002021-07-15T22:02:49.712+01:00Nice storage!
