What do YUDU?


This year I treated myself to a YUDU screen printer. I love it. I've been a member of www.yuduforums.com since before I decided to actually purchase the machine. It's a great place to research on the product and it's full of helpful and happy members. I highly suggest it for anyone interested in purchasing a YUDU machine.

Well, in mid-april the forums decided to hold a T-shirt Design Contest. Of course I entered and came in Third place, wooot. It was really fun. The winners are pictured above, my entry is the last one, 3rd place!

I designed a baby onesie. I did the actual design by hand with a permanent marker on a transparent sheet for the screen printing process. I first cut out the basinet on cardstock, and traced it on a fabric, cut it out, and hand sewn it to the onesie. I then screen printed my design on the onesie, in black and yellow ink. This was a fun project.

1st Place Prize:
• (2) Yudu 110 Screens
• (10) Emulsion Sheets
• 3 oz bottles of silver, gun metal and gold (1 of each color)
• Squeegee Pro

2nd Place Prize:
• (1) Yudu 110 Screen
• (6) Emulsion Sheets
• 3 oz bottles of silver, gun metal and gold (1 of each color)

3rd Place Prize:
• (4) Emulsion Sheets
• 3 oz bottles of silver, gun metal and gold (1 of each color).

New Craft Room

So the past few days I've been moving to my new craft room. It was my son's room. He is now 22 months old. The room was always empty, and was only used when visitors stood the night. My previous craft space was a walk-in closet in my dining room area. Eventually, all my crafting needs got moved out to the dining room table. As any crafter knows, when crafting the mess is inevitable. And since I was crafting everyday, everyday the mess was there. Being that I have a toddler, it was hard and annoying to stay on top of everything that can be within reach of his little exploring hands. So hubby told me to take over his room, at first I said no because it's HIS room, after a little arm twisting he convinced me to move in. And here I am typing from it, though it's still in the works. When everything is done and ready I will post up pictures of the whole process.

I am currently working on a wall calendar. Should be fun. :D.

Happy Scramping.
