I added 5 new straps.....

to my etsy shop yesterday!

Pic heavy post to catch up!!!!

Hello friends!! I hope everyone is having a GREAT summer!!! It has been incredibly busy at our house the last few weeks. We had all the usual end of year activities, then I jumped right into getting VBS decorations done. That was a lot of fun and I will have a better idea what we will need for next year!
Here are a few of the things I have been working on lately!

This was a towel for our little neighbor for her birthday. The top scoop is actually lime green and the pink is brighter IRL.Another towel for a friend's birthday! This is my favorite gift to give during the summer! This was the first 3D embroider I had done. Love the 3D flowers on this one!A cute little birthday cake for our neighbor that turned 5!I made these travel mugs for teacher/bus driver gifts. I ended up making I think 10 of these for my 2 girls teachers and their bus driver and then some for a friend for their teachers.A couple personalized key fobs for gifts.A personalized sunglass/glasses holder. This has padding and will hold large sunglasses!A golf towel for a friend for her dad for Father's Day! I have also done this design on a burp cloth.A couple of kitchen towels I did for my SIL for her newly re-done kitchen!!
As always if you see something on my blog that you like and would like to have made just for you, send me an email!!!

NEW Camera strap!!!

Just finished this yummy camera strap and listed it in my etsy shop!

I have been wanting to try the minky for awhile and just had not taken the plunge! I had someone on etsy recently contact me about making them a strap with minky so thought now was as good a time as any!!!

I ABSOLUTELY love the way minky feels, it is so very soft!

Summer is right around the corner.....

...well if you're in Texas it feels like it already is! I have made several beach/pool towels for my girls to give as gifts and a few as orders for friends to give as gifts also. This is such a cute and fun gift to give. I think the surfin' monkey is just TOO cute!!

Baby Girl Cuteness!!!!

My cousin is having her baby shower on Sunday. I can't go but thought I could get something in the mail to my aunt so she could take it for me. So I made these cute little ensembles today! I so wish I had made stuff like this for my sweet girls! (Or I just wish mine weren't growing so fast!!!)

And the WINNER is...........

The PRIZE: This Black and White Damask and Pink Polka Dot Camera Strap!!!!

I have not been too creative lately......

I've been pretty busy lately with "stuff", but not super creative!

I just did a bunch of shirts for a friend's husband for his new business. Had his logo digitized and embroidered it on a bunch of polo shirts. That was fun to do something new and learned a ton from it! I forgot to take any pics of them so when I do some more I'll have to snap some then!

I made these cute burp cloths for my neighbor for her to give at a shower. Love the pink and brown and this may be my new favorite font!!

My oldest turned 11 yesterday!!! We are re-doing her room for her birthday present! I bought a cute headboard/footboard yesterday off craigslist that we are going to paint for her. I'll make her a quilt/comforter. I'm still working on coming up with all the fabrics. I'm using a PB teen one as my inspiration! I'll try to post pics as I go along.

Time for a quick update......(PIC HEAVY!!!)

Where does the time go!!!!?????
I can't believe it has been almost a month since I posted on here!! Shame on me!
I have been keeping busy with lots of orders!! Thanks to everyone that has ordered straps, etc. from my etsy shop!!
I have added a few new straps lately and am working on a few more new styles.
Let's see, over the last month I have made a couple tote bags for birthday gifts for friends of my youngest daughter, I appliqued some Disney stuff for my sister-in-law and her family for their trip to Disney (hope they are having fun there right now!), made a spa towel wrap for older daughter's friend, made a tennis towel for my SIL!
Here's pics of most of them !

Cute Lil Monster!

This is such a cute little tag monster made for my very cute neighbor!

Been having so much fun with my new toy, haven't posted in awhile!!!

As I posted before (yes way before!! didn't realize how long it had been since I posted!!) I got a new embroidery only machine for my birthday/Christmas. I really have been having so much fun with it!! I have been perusing some great embroidery sites, including this GREAT forum that I found: sewforum.com
It has been great for asking questions and there a ton of SUPER talented people on there that are so generous to share their designs that they have digistized.
I made the girls, my niece and my little neighbor some really cute shirts for Valentine's.
