Cricut Accessories ROCK!!

If you have spent anytime at all here on Peanut Butter and Whine you know I have a love affair going with my Cricut Machine. I buy vinyl every chance I get! I want every new color that comes out. I want sparkle, glitter to matte vinyl sheets. I want them ALL!!  If I’m not writing blog posts I’m scouring Pinterest for t-shirt, mugs and hat ideas. Seriously! My Circuit Pinterest board goes on and on!! Alice is forever asking for a certain t-shirt. From last day of Kindergarten to Birthday Girl. Even Disneyland T-shirts! Sometimes she just wants a design. For no reason.

I love my machine so much that traveling with my Cricut makes me nervous!! What if it got dinged? Bumped? Dropped? Gives me shudders!

Cricut knows that we crafters worry about our babies. They designed a storage bag that looks more like high priced luggage than a Cricut tote! Check out the New bags and totes at Cricut

Check out the padding in the case! There is a hollowed out area under the machine that holds the cords. BRILLIANT design!! The side pockets hold my essentials like tweezers, scissors and scraper.

The top is magnetic so when you bring the top down it automatically clicks shut and STAYS shut. Brilliant design. The handles are sturdy and comfortable to hold.

I also picked up the computer bag. Ohhhhh but it’s really so much more than a computer bag! It holds my vinyl sheets, my mats, my laptop and so much MORE!!!!

Look at how amazing the bag looks up close! Beautiful classic tweed. Leather accent piping. Sturdy bronze-looking double zipper.

Taking my Cricut to my daughter’s house for craft day or to our Craft, Whine & Wine Night with the girls has never been so organized or stylish.

My next purchase will be the Rolling Craft Tote!! Check out the perks in this bag!

• Easy rolling premium craft bag
• Multiple compartments, pockets and detachable storage
• Specially designed to hold rolls of vinyl, iron-on and more
• Multi-directional wheels roll in any direction
• Machine and supplies sold separately

WHINES

Paaaaaaaleease!! These cases are amazing. Well constructed. Elegant to look at and room for everything you need for true creative convenience.
These would be an amazing gift for any Cricut owner. Trust me!!

Updating my blog’s SEO has officially entered the same category as cleaning behind the refrigerator. Necessary. Noble. Slightly horrifying. 🧹✨

Because nothing says “fun afternoon” like opening a five year old post and discovering half the images have vanished, three links lead to businesses that now exist only in memory, and somewhere deep in the code lives a font choice I definitely made during a caffeine spiral.

Welcome to my glamorous life.

Recently, I decided it was time to “freshen things up.” You know, a light polish. A little dusting.

Instead, I uncovered what I can only describe as The Ghost of PBnWhine Past.

This sneaky little phantom floats through my blog at night deleting pictures like a Victorian librarian with a grudge.

“Oh, you liked that step by step craft tutorial with helpful photos?”
Poof. Gone.

“That product review with beautifully staged shots?”
Vanished into the ether.

Now posts look like:

Step 1: Do the thing
Step 2: [image missing]
Step 3: Trust me

Very helpful. Ten out of ten. No notes.

And don’t get me started on the links.

Nothing keeps you humble like clicking a reference and landing on:

Error 404: This business has retired to Florida.

Apparently half the companies I worked with have closed, rebranded, or transformed into something called “Crypto Spoon AI Wellness Collective.” Time is wild.

So here I am, updating old posts like an archaeologist with Wi-Fi. Replacing images. Fixing links. Adding keywords. Whispering sweet nothings to Google like, “Please notice me. I have snacks.”

It’s not glamorous work, but it does make the blog faster, prettier, and easier to find. Which means more crafts, more reviews, more giveaways, and fewer digital tumbleweeds rolling through the pages.

Speaking of goodies…

So if you see me muttering at my laptop and chasing imaginary ghosts with a broom made of metadata, just know I’m not losing it.

I’m “optimizing.”

Which is blogger for: battling invisible spirits, resurrecting broken links, and bribing search engines with fresh content.

Totally normal behavior. 😄
