Oh the stories my tools could tell you….
Mug press - you know you used to use more tape on these mugs but now you use two pieces I liked it better when you wasted items but hey I do a good job so they turn out good.
Tumbler press- why must you do so many different sizes at one time and adjust my nibs so much can’t you do one size a day when you make a bunch?
Tumbler auto press - ha I don’t have jobs but I make things easy and I travel great just use me.
Auto heat press (1&2) - why must you pre heat me before your ready I beep at you you push my buttons to keep me turned on you could have just waited to turn me on……
Paper trimmer- why don’t you like me as much since you got that rotory trimmer I am here and can do things still……
Rotary trimmer - you know this sublimation paper is dusty why must you trim such small pieces off?
Weeding tools - oh pick me I want to do this project the hook and strait one gets all the fun jobs…
Printers - ha you have two of us so we plan out who wants to work when just to drive you crazy hope you did not want to make larger projects today.
They are all a bit sassy at times.
My Purple scissor
would tell me, you have a lots of scissor here but why I am the only one doing the job. ![]()

My tools would say oh no I wonder what cuss word she’s going to say today.
Maker: You let me sit under a towel for 2-1/2 years. Thanks for keeping the dust off me and thanks for diving in and giving me a chance to kick-start your creativity!
Air brush: Helllloooo. (I need to play with this thing more.)
Laser: Sorry my workspace isn’t bigger but heck, we do some cool things together, Chickie!
Husband: You want what?!
Hahaha!
sooooo…funny!
Oh, my poor heat press would absolutely be lobbying for paid time off and hazard pay. “Edz, I was not built for this many tumbler wraps in one day!” Meanwhile, my laser engraver would be muttering, “Another test cut? Really? You just calibrated me yesterday.”
And my cutting mat? It’s probably filing a formal complaint about blade abuse. “Ma’am, this is a precision surface, not a battlefield.”
But despite all the sass, they know they’re loved.
I talk to them like coworkers—encouraging pep talks, occasional apologies, and lots of “you got this!” energy.
My vinyl cutter went on strike this morning.
I asked what was wrong and it said:
“I’m exhausted… I’ve been cutting more dreams than materials this week. I need a spa day or at least some rest and high-quality vinyl!” ![]()

Personally, I know my heat press 2 purple pleasure would roll its eyes and say, “Seriously? Another 10-hour shift?!” And my poor Loklik cutting machine SkyLok would probably sigh, “Do you ever give me a break? I’m still catching my breath from yesterday’s marathon!” When will you give us some time out? My response,Never I’m up working just like to two of you…

Good one
Haha I have a Christmas set I love with gingerbread on them.
Haha I ummm ordered a kitchen cart to make an engraving station…. I acolyte need to get up and put it together…. But my husband may be a bad influence theirs but much he says it to but really crafting items and hockey things are the only things I ask to get…
I think we all have a favorite pair of scissors
lol ![]()
I’m pretty sure my scissors would demand that I take a sobriety test and attempt cutting in a straight line! ![]()

Scene: Late night in the craft room. The machines are awake. I’ve gone to bed.
Sublimation Printer:
Okay, who’s gonna tell her that printing upside down again doesn’t make it “more vibrant”?
Heat Press:
Not me. Last time I tried, she pressed me shut for 60 seconds straight. I was sweating vinyl.
Loklik Cutter:
Y’all, I’m still recovering from that glitter vinyl massacre. She mirrored the design, but forgot to flip the actual image. I cut a majestic backwards unicorn. It looked like it was moonwalking.
Sublimation Printer:
Oh, and remember the mug incident? She printed “Best Dad Ever”… on the handle.
Heat Press:
I had to press that thing like it owed me money. The handle was screaming.
Loklik Cutter:
At least you two get to be warm and cozy. I’m over here slicing through cardstock like a ninja, and she keeps feeding me mats with mystery goo. Is it glue? Is it regret? I don’t know anymore.
Sublimation Printer:
Honestly, I admire her spirit. She messes up, shrugs, and says “It’s rustic.” Girl, that’s not rustic. That’s chaos with a glue gun.
Heat Press:
True. But she did nail that Kinder & Popsicles flyer. I felt like I was pressing for royalty.
Loklik Cutter:
Agreed. When she’s on, she’s on. But when she’s off… I start praying to the SVG gods.
Sublimation Printer:
Alright, machines—same time tomorrow? Let’s see what she throws at us next. I’m betting on a charm design with 12 layers and zero registration marks.
Heat Press:
I’ll preheat. Just in case.
Loklik Cutter:
And I’ll sharpen my blade. For courage.
Same. Just lost two weeding tools in one night.
Yaaass! Very true!
Majority of my equipment would be on strike with a sign saying “overused and underpaid”
Whatever they say, it doesnt matter.Resistance is pointless… No mercy. No hope.
My cutting plotter would be the diva of the house. “Again with this glitter vinyl?! You’re going to ruin the edge! And don’t even think about leaving me unused for a minute, I’m a professional machine, not an ornament.” It would be offended every time I left it idle for more than a day.
And my cutting mat, that one would really complain! “Ouch, it hurts, don’t scrape me so much! And please don’t use that old blade. I’m already hurt enough with all your designs!” It would be the most sensitive of all, always asking me to take care of it.
It’s a shame our tools don’t work because they would be the best allies and friends, getting us out of so many tight spots.
GIRL GET IN HER AND USE ME! We haven’t seen you all week WHATS GOING ON? WHATS going on ![]()
