Some Silhouette Vinyl Projects

 I've got one of those fancy pants vinyl cutting machines, but its a Silhouette (not a cricut!)

So it seems when I've got it out, I do a bunch of stuff with it.  These projects are all from last spring.
The onsies were a request for an expectant mother who wanted to announce with the one on the right.  That was fun, because I was one of the first to know!

E and Mini have the same kind of brush, but E doesn't like to share, so I decorated Mini's

 I made the towels as gifts for a wedding that E and WD were invited to.  (I also made a bunch of versions last Christmas for family, just never documented them)

 Got a new van in the spring, so it needed some additions.  I did fix the L....  (seriously everyone drives my kind or color of van, I can never find it in the lot)

 Been organizing some, and thought vinyl looked nicer than my handwriting in sharpie.

 And lastly, I found these cups in IKEA and decked them out as end of the year teacher gifts.

Cutting all the Vinyl Things

I know I've mentioned a couple of times before that I got a Silhouette Cameo vinyl cutting machine for Christmas a couple of years ago.  It took me about a year to even unpack it and try it out.  

I'm over all my fears now.  Even E has been doing thing with it.  

 I designed decals for our local quilt guild.

 At the beginning of school E decorated all her notebooks.

 We learned a lot about which vinyl to use for which projects.

 Super helpful for labeling water bottles and other things.

And a little bit of Christmas Decorations. (true confession, I still haven't put the regular pictures back)

I mostly wanted to share these because the pictures have been floating around on my desk top.  Now I can move them.

Cutting all the Things in Fabric and Vinyl

 The Christmas before last I received a Silhouette Cameo machine as a gift from Mr. Riley.  It was pretty exciting.  And scary.  Up until recently I had only used it for a couple of projects.  The Matrix quilt and the Lighthouse Quilt.

I opened my mouth at a PTO meeting and said I could cut vinyl with it so I've upped my game and now I want to make all the things.

For school I did some letters and paws.

I'm still learning a bit about sizing the letters when doing multiple cuts. COUgars :)  This one is probably temporary, though, since there is some painting that will get done once school is out.

This one was actually a "mistake" because it wasn't big enough, but we found a place for it.

Then I started projects that I've wanted to try around the house.  We've had the menu board for a few months, but now its fancy.

And I made a vinyl bee of my logo (actually I should re-do it) and put it on the car.  I used to have a magnet bumper sticker of a bee - but it got lost or stolen off the car.

Next I moved on to fabric letters with Wonder Under on them.  I'm not sure why, but Alf the kitten was fascinated by the machine.

 So the last of my bee word blocks from the Spelling Bee Quilt Bee are finally done.  I'm in search of "The Perfect Yellow" to set them all together.

 I have more plans for the Silhouette!
