Any Alabama Fans out there?

I may live in Alabama, but I was not born and raised here. I consider myself a native Michigander (even though I was actually born in WA) but I've lived the nomadic lifestyle of a military family member. I support Michigan football - but after living in AL for 5 years, I think I've caught the spirit of the Crimson Tide!

I've been wanting to cut houndstooth for awhile but didn't have the patience to even try with my E - it just wasn't precise enough. This morning, me and the Lynx had a chance to play and I've been able to successfully cut this:

 I cut the houndstooth at 4.75" and it cut beautifully - you just have to be VERY careful when removing it from the mat so that you don't break any of the connections.  (WooHoo-found some black cardstock so I cut the file and posted the resulting cut instead of the .png file from Inkscape.)

I've also been working on a collection of hardware type components off and on for a couple of months - I finally took the time to finish and compile everything so that I can share these files:

If you are interested in any of these files, you can download them from my mediafire account - see the SVGs tab of my blog. (Edited: I apologize, I uploaded the files to the wrong folder on mediafire and they were not showing as available-OOPS!  I've fixed it now!)

Thanks for stopping by.  Wishing you all a safe and crafty weekend!
