Just a quick flower cut file for all you crafters out there.
Zip file includes RoboMaster template file, RoboMaster GSD and Illustrator file to cut a flower.
The GSD and AI files have 3 different size flower shapes, just cut them, curl the petals with the back of a craft knife and glue the smaller ones inside the larger.
When curling the petals just curl the petal tips on the largest, about half the length of the petals on the middle size and curl the smallest right from the centre.
A Print & Cut Christmas card file for you.
This card has a dual layer Pop up/ Pop out insert in the middle and has a frame on the front suitable for a 4×6 inch photo or other artwork with jingle bells die cut decorations.
The ZIP contains the GSD file, an AI file and example photo featuring my cat in a hat 
Clawdius is my pal Tricia’s new mad cat!
She brought him round to my new flat to visit yesterday so I took the opportunity to fire off a few snaps of him before he gets past the cute kitten stage 
My two grumpy cats were not entirely impressed and spent most of the time sulking on the back of the couch or hissing & growling, unfortunately for them Claudius wasn’t put off by it and did his best to wind them up even more LOL
I will be adding a new subject to my blogy thing soon.
My latest toy is a Craft Robo vinyl/ card cutter so I am going to include cutting files and the like on here once I get things organised.
I have been playing about with it for a while and I am starting to get to grips with it, I made a nice nameplate thing for the front door with a cat silhouette border and I am working on Christmas cards now so those of you who know me will probably get crappy home made cards from me – Still that’s better than none at all which is the alternative LOL
Yes at last I am in my new flat!
I have re-built the water damaged bay window, and as I suspected the moggies love the new cat friendly wide sills. Spike practically lives on there now watching the world go by.
I have also had the place carpeted with a nice black cat unfriendly light colour carpet, that made a hell of a difference I can tell you
The shitty electric token meter has been removed at last, can’t get the gas token meter out for a month though because its from a different supplier so I have to wait till the service has been transferred to my supplier Grrrr On the plus side, I have downgraded my internet connection to a 10mbit connection but now get land line telephone and basic digital TV package included for 12 quid a month less than I was paying for just internet.
Been busy in the new flat today, starting the decorating!
I really really hate painting, I loath it, detest it, it drives me up the wall – literally. But I don’t have enough money to get someone else to do it so I suppose I have to 
I made a start with the ceiling in the living room painting it white, I don’t know why but I just don’t like off white or cream coloured ceilings. I started preparing the walls, they have been painted over wall paper but the paper joins are overlapping and there are lumps and bumps in it so I scraped, filled and sanded them smooth (ish).
Yes, for the umpteenth time this year I am moving house again!
I have just been offered a housing association flat just round the corner and as my current landlord just isn’t interested in getting repairs done I have decided to take it.
Its only one bedroom and has a combined living room/ kitchen, but its not too bad a size. Only problem is now I need carpets, curtains, fridge freezer, washing machine and shit loads of paint & decorating stuff because its far from perfect condition.
So, chances are I am not going to be on here as much for a while.
I really, really, hate moving house – this is DEFINITELY the last time (this year lol)
Jingle bells, batman smells..
Yes its that time of year again (Bah Humbug) and Paisley has just had its annual lighting up ceremony which I went to have a butchers at.
I was determined that I was not going to get moved into a position where my photos had an ugly lamp post in the middle of them this time so I positioned myself well back where the crowd wouldn’t reach.. Or so I thought. I still ended up with a few ignorant ned types who thought its perfectly acceptable behaviour to just barge past kicking the tripod on route Grrrr
I am still learning how this wordpress thingy works but I also think I am getting there now..
I have made some changes to the theme files to fix some layout and display issues, this was mostly to eliminate me having to manually adjust the style of these depending where they were posted so won’t be a great deal different from your side.
I have been trying to work out an easy way to include a block of links in the articles, the main reason being tutorials like the DIY Camera Controller are spread over several posts and I wanted you to be able to jump to the other related posts without a lot of faffing about trying to find them.
Are you getting excited, desperate to try out the new toy?
We are almost finished with the prototype controller but without the program its not going to do a lot, in fact it’s not going to do anything.
Before you upload the program you need to install a library to control the LCD display, this rather excellent piece of work has been created for you by Dale Wentz and you can find out more in the Arduino Playground
There is a tiny bug in the library code which has not as yet been updated, so to save explaining how to fix it I have included the fixed library along with my program.
