My Place & Yours


This week it's about gadgets! Yep those little things that help to make your life a bit easier. :)
Theme queen this week is Susan over at It's the Things That Make You Go MMMM. Quirky name huh? If you feel the need to see other people's gadgets, then pop over to Hello Owl to see the list of links to visit. Or you can also join in the meme at the same place.


So my handy little gadget that I've found wonderfully helpful is this rotary cutter and board(?) given to me by a good friend that had bought it to use in her quilt making, but couldn't really get the hang of it!

I've found it one of the handiest gadgets to help me along with quite a few things I've made using fabric.

I use it mainly for cutting those dead straight lines around graphics and piccies that I've printed onto calico & canvas photo paper.
I just find that it cuts much better than a scapel and metal ruler, and you can see through the board which is a great help.
