My New Cutting Board


I don't think I mentioned this to you before, but hubby gave me a mega cutting mat for Christmas. Someday I will have a dedicated cutting table and this will cover it nicely, in the meantime, it is the perfect size for covering either my dining room or kitchen tables. I LOVE it. He gave it to me rolled up pretty tight in a long box. Getting it unrolled in the first place was interesting. It's been lying out with coffee table books on it for about a week now, and it's finally relaxed enough to use, although it might be a bit of time before it's truly flat.

I'm a patient woman. Good things come to those who wait.

Wasn't that nice of hubby to think of something like a cutting mat. Those mats are great and the bigger the better so that you can cut a 3 foot fold of fabric easily. Take care.

Hi - I have recently found your blog - I really like it. Very nice....
I have this cutting mat and the hobby table it fits from Joann's - I love it. It really makes things nice and easy for cutting!

Here's a tip I learned through trial and error: stick the cutting mat in the shower and run hot water over it until it softens up. Then dry it off and lay it back on the table, and once it dries completely it'll be beautifully flat and ready for cutting!
