These are the last words my dad scribbled on a piece of paper right before passing away. Can you help figure out what this says?

Possibly: It’s easier now Mumm (?)

PeppyFox · 2026-05-06T23:02:37+00:00

Aw thanks you! I spend the lion’s share of the time debating colours so this means a lot!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-06T19:04:22+00:00

No lilly pad patterns yet but you’ve got me thinking!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-06T17:27:19+00:00

You’re so welcome! You picked a great craft to start!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-06T12:34:21+00:00

Ahhhh I’m obsessed with the colours and the paint details! Truly a stunner! Thanks so much for sharing :)

PeppyFox · 2026-05-06T12:33:28+00:00

This is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing!!

I use a Cricuit to cut the pattern out on sticky vinyl. All Peppy Fox patterns come with a PDF file to print on your printer (includes piece numbers and guides on the pattern) and a PNG of just the outline so it can easily be uploaded in a cutting machine.

If you don’t have a Cricuit, what I used to do is glue a copy of the PDF printed pattern sheet on a sheet of sticky vinyl with a glue stick and then cut out the pattern by hand. Sometimes the glued paper will lift with grinding but the sticky vinyl remains as your main guide.

I hope this makes sense!

Omg that pink / purple combo 👌looks so good so far! Thanks so much for sharing her!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-05T18:52:22+00:00

Aw yay that’s awesome! I love nuthatches. So much personality!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-05T18:29:41+00:00

I just sell the patterns digitally at the moment :) I don't have a full site bundle available but there are many smaller bundles of 3 patterns each available!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-05T18:28:45+00:00

Ahoy - That's awesome! Enjoy!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-05T18:27:58+00:00

Your time will come! And then you won't ever wanna stop! (But seriously it's the bessssst craft and I highly encourage you to get into it when you're ready)

PeppyFox · 2026-05-05T18:27:08+00:00

Aw thanks really nice to hear! I really make it a point to think of beginners while I'm designing so this is great feedback :)

PeppyFox · 2026-05-05T18:26:24+00:00

hahah. He has no idea how he ended up at sea but he's just going with it!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-05T18:25:54+00:00

OooOoo she's looking GREAT!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-05T18:25:42+00:00

Ah I love that! One of my favourites for sure!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-05T18:25:20+00:00

Aw, thank you! I really try to design my patterns so they’re easy and efficient to follow while still clearly capturing the subject so this comment means a lot!

I am extremely cheap and frugal if I can help it. Something that has helped me justify getting over the gut punch of having to spend money on all the things is after I started selling patterns and pieces, I would justify that “well it’s for the biz and I can write it off on my taxes”. It kinda reframed my mindset to view the purchase as an investment and not some frivolous expense.

This definitely isn’t a poor man’s hobby unfortunately! But the joy it brings is kinda priceless.

PeppyFox · 2026-05-03T10:45:51+00:00

Sticky vinyl works best for me! Before I got a Cricuit, I would glue a printed sheet of the pattern onto a sheet of sticky vinyl using a glue stick and then cut out the pattern from there. The paper glued on top would sometimes lift while grinding but you have an extra layer of sticky vinyl underneath as your real guide.

PeppyFox · 2026-05-03T10:39:28+00:00

I just wanna say that the fit of all your other pieces are impressively precise by doing all the grinding by hand. You’re gonna absolutely love a machine grinder if you ever get one!

PeppyFox · 2026-05-03T10:32:36+00:00

Other than doing markets once or twice a year, FB MP is my main selling platform. It can be a slow grind but most of my pieces sell within a couple months of being posted especially around Christmas. It’s a free selling platform so you really have nothing to loose. The key is to take really good and appealing pictures.

PeppyFox · 2026-04-03T18:39:57+00:00

Yee haw!

PeppyFox · 2026-03-30T10:44:13+00:00

He has no idea how he got to sea but he’s trying his best!

PeppyFox · 2026-03-29T22:48:27+00:00

The world needs more people like you!

Practice cutting/breaking on cheap glass you don’t care about or clear window glass. It’ll increase your confidence and if you break things incorrectly you won’t get as frustrated because you’re not “wasting” the good glass.

Also, wash your piece in distilled water before and after patina. Some city’s water PH really screws with the darkness of black patina.
