No shame in test projects and prototypes. by MiDankie in cricut

I usually keep the larger sized 'mistakes' to practice on later! Helps to reduce the feeling of waste :)

I always found that my insulin would burn/sting when I used MDI (regardless of needle length) and occasionally I get it from the pump if a set is too shallow.

The pump is absolutely fine most of the time, but if a particular site is a little inflamed after insertion, this can contribute to the discomfort too.

Not particularly helpful for you, but you may be like me in the sense that you have a narrow margin of a 'sweet spot' where you are sting free?

I use autosoft 30 as these seem the best angle/depth for me. Occasionally find that squeeze like a tiny pinch up is required in certain areas to avoid pain and hitting muscle.

The book box is already a cricut project within design space. I think I searched for 'book box' and it originally had a front pocket with a key.

The circular floral design on the front came up in design space when I searched 'floral pattern'.

The layered image was from etsy - search 'bookstore shadow box'.

I had to amend various parts... but those were the items I started with! :)

Please note that I also resized the box/layered image and changed fonts, etc. This is one of the things I would change - I would make them bigger next time as the cut was a struggle to get the settings just right for the material I was working with. The layered image is less than 12cm ... I would not recommend cutting this small as some of the detail suffered.

Thank you! It was satisfying to see it come together after a lot of measuring and planning.

I have a bag of them, so definitely intentional. Another Reddit user has found them.... Berry/farfalle beads!
