I sympathize with mom’s overindulgence, I sympathize with having a tidy and not being able to find ANYTHING, and I sympathize with the BRR… Have a good week!! 💚💜💚

[@crosezrose]

Hi Mike, Ian and the pups! Sounds like a fun event, like they all are! Love gelli printing, so glad you are doing some on video, it's relaxing and fun, when the plate cooperates, lol! Oh Mum, she isn't the only one, if I eat chips in the evening, the next day I am sick to my stomach. Part of aging I suppose. See y'all next week!!

[@nicolinavincelli9369]

Good Day Mike, I cleaned to my craft room and can't find anything now, love your take on James Dean, very, very nice.

[@lauraprice4899]

Will you come and help me tidy up my craft room, Mike?!? You did a great job on yours!! ❤😂

[@greeneyedmimibostian3013]

Soooo cool 🎉🎉

[@scrapbagstudios]

Big throw outs are treacherous! You're going to need a whole bunch of that stuff lol! My commiserations to your Mum. Chocolate can be treacherous too! I don't eat it any more. Glad to hear your classes are being asked for. Hugs for the boys. Thanks for sharing.

My daughter gave my tidy desk 3 days. She was right. It was nice while it lasted. As soon as you started talking about your new light, I knew you found the ring light. I bought a brand new Teflon bone folder and put it somewhere "safe." Two years later I still hadn't found it so I broke down and bought a new one. Honestly, the day after the replacement arrived I discovered the safe place my missing Teflon bone folder was hiding!

When you were announcing your class in March, I got excited and wanted to sign up, but then I realized I don’t live in England and won’t be visiting for a while. Lol 😂 😅 Doing a tidy and throw out always makes me feel better, especially when it’s the beginning of the year and the spring cleaning ‘bug’ gets me.

[@kandrews6356]

Mike, I'm a bit late in watching; thank you for sharing your week. I'm sorry your Mum wasn't feeling well and hope she's better now. Can't wait to see your new glasses. I have to be honest and say that I hadn't thought of the non-stick baking paper either but thank you for the tip. Congratulations on the new stencil sales; I love your new designs. I hope Ian had a great and successful 1st Steampunk show. Wishing you, Ian, Mr. Bentley, Mr. NIp, Mum and Dad a great week current and coming week.

[@joeyhoney1]

I wish Ian and Karen a great weekend in Whitby. I hope we will get to see some video footage of the event.😊Warm regards from 🇨🇦Calgary, Alberta🇨🇦

[@tonihall7810]

Oh no a throw out….. you know you are going to need that now lol…… omg I wish I could go to the craft class.. lovely to see you xxx

[@appassionata971]

I have started using kitchen non stick paper as tracing paper by chance, but now I use it regularly when needed, because it works !! It's true, everytime I tidy up my craft space, I can't find anything any more !!! Anyway, it has to be done from time to time !!! Wish I could attend your crafting course in march... please post videos and photos !!!

[@blackcoffeeandwildflowers]

I cannot get my craft space tidy. It has been in chaos for weeks (maybe months). I wish I could find and hire a fabulous craft space designer to make it all work beautifully!! 😂. I suppose there is no such thing. 😕Your oil clothe looks great. I haven’t actually seen a successful image transfer. Let me take that back, your James Dean was the first one I’ve seen that I consider successful!! So fabulous job! Hope your mom is feeling better. Been there, done that. Haven’t done it again! 😂 Hugs to you and Ian, and the sweet boys 🤗❤️😘

[@VictoriaAWM]

I need you to clean my craft room. A huge tidy up is in order! I sometimes let the gel print dry and flip the plate over and pull the plate slowly off the paper.

[@Cheshirecat-nx9zn]

Love the James Dean green pull.

[@murphan25]

I loved it too! It reminded me of a poster you’d find in a music/movie venue because of how rustic it looked. James Dean sure was a handsome man.

[@rossiej100]

I use unwaxed greaseproof paper or lunch wrap which comes on a roll. It only costs a couple of dollars.

[@christoomey5877]

Brr you all looked so cold, upside of being indoors. The Range has changed a lot, but their online stock maybe better. Can I suggest white tissue paper instead of tissue. On the grl print front, I've always found quickest is best, for the prints. Please save a couple of masks for me, I'll check in tomorrow. Chris @ Dark Fairy 💜 🧚‍♀️😘

[@christieoertel1589]

It sounds very familiar ..a tidy up means "now where did I put ? I like the oil cloth especially the blue tints. looking fwd to seeing your new specs! will they be Harry Potteresc!! Have a lovely weekend. Take care U4

[@amandaspence1971]

I probably missed something. How do you get the image on the gel plate? I’m used to seeing you use the braver and other mark makers on the plate. Lovely visit today! I always enjoy your catch-ups and news. Hugs to all! ❤. PS-When I over-indulge in chocolate I get a migraine, and yet I still do it on occasion. Chocolate could be the devil in disguise lol.

[@naomiwest7556]

We always used greaseproof paper for tracing, it was much cheaper

[@Karin-]

The Range have done away with a lot "branded" items and replaced with their own stuff, which most of the time are just cheap imitations - It's really sad and irritating. They're getting like everyone else, doing what "they" want instead of what the customer wants/needs.

[@lesadiehl4938]

Would be so wonderful to do a class with you and Ian, but being in Canada not happening. I hope Karen’s launch of her new items goes well. Tell Ian to have a very successful weekend. As always , thank you for sharing your life, each week brings a smile to my face. From Bassano , Alberta 🇨🇦
