Nesting

So after months of not wanting to sew or embroider anything, I went on a two day sewing spree where I wanted to monogram everything in site for Lucy. I still have a lot more ideas in my head and the sewing itch is still there, so I am sure I will spend a few more days turning out baby things.

My sister bought me the diaper bag and I just added the name and made the matching burp cloth.

I  didn't have any pants to go with the colors in this applique,

 so I decided to make some bloomers to match.

Here is the pattern link. It is pretty simple and accomdates for different sizes.  

All the pants were hand me downs from family or friends and I picked up the onesies at Dirt Cheap for 50 cents each,so besides my time they were seriously cheap outfits.

 A little something for Carter to wear his summer. 

Thing 1 and Thing 2

I haven't been really productive with my sewing/embroidery lately.  It hurts my back, squishes my belly and is really uncomfortable right now (at 33 weeks pregnant) to sit at the sewing machine and sew or embroider.  I have so may ideas swirling around in my head for baby Lucy but the lack of motivation to do them.  I did finish some shirts for a friend for her two girls to wear on  vacation and thought they turned out cute!

I'm still crafting!

Athough I have loved having a break from customer orders, it hasn't kept me from being super busy with embroidery work. Now it seems there are tons of birthday gifts, teacher gifts, baby gifts, and things for my kids to work on. Here are some of my latest creations!

Burp rags for my sister-in-law's soon to be baby! 

I actually made other items for her but forgot to take pictures of them. 

A summer outfit for Carter. 

He LOVES finding "squirmy wormies" so I just had to make him a worm shirt. 

Personalized cups for teachers at Cooper's school.

This week was teacher appreciation week so we gifted Cooper's teacher a gift every day!

I think she was SUPER surprised when he brought her a gift each day! 

Beach towel and beach bag for Cooper's teacher. 

Dish towel set for Cooper's teacher. 

Beach towel birthday gift for a little girl!

I packaged it in a beach bucket with a shovel and thought it turned out so cute! 

A scripture tote for Cooper to bring to church. 

Nothing cute, but he loves to bring his scriptures to church  and so he was really excited to see his name on his very own scripture tote!

The first of many!

I have been so excited to embroider something now that we have picked a name for our baby girl.  I am sure this will be the first of many embroidered items for Lucy! 
This is a new font I got specifically to do this burprag!  The name of it is princess font.  I have a feeling I will use this font a lot on one spoiled rotten little princess!! :)

Baby Boy Set

A cute baby set that even the daddy will LOVE!

Baby Girl Cuteness!

One of my friends ordered this set forever ago and I finally finished it up. Sorry!!! I think it turned out adorable though!  I jazzed up the bib with some ribbon tags and think it makes it super cute.

  I mean seriously can a girl have too much frill?  :)

 I tried my hand at the ruffle butt onesie! How adorable is this? You can add more rows of ruffles to give it a really cute booty effect!! I got the directions from here http://www.u-createcrafts.com/2009/05/ruffle-butt-onesie-tutorial.html

Baby Items

I had a few orders that were placed in November/December but weren't needed till January/February. Since I am such a procrastinator I just recently finished up some of the orders and sent them off. Baby sets are really my favorite items to be creative with so these were fun to do.  Isn't the black and pink really cute together?

This was a December order for a baby and his big brother to wear. I bet they got some cute pics!

Last of the Christmas shirts!

I have finally finished  up the last order  for Christmas outfits/shirts! :) I still have a few orders left for Christmas gift items and some items due in January, but I am finally narrowing it down!!!  Thanks, to all my customers for their business and for being patient with me as I tried to get everything  finished up in time. 

If I had a girl, I wouldn't give this outfit up! It turned out just adorable! 

Minky Dot Blanket

Christmas Time

I have been super busy trying to finish up all Christmas pants sets by December 1st. I am still a bit behind, but I will be working all day today and tomorrow to try to finish up.  Here are a few that I have finished.

Gifts

These are some shirt orders that I have been finishing up in between Christmas orders for customers to give as Chistmas gifts. Can I just say I  have been super busy and still have many more ordes to go.

This has become my favorite Dinosaur! 

Love, love, love this teapot! 

After finishing this pirate ship for a customer I can't wait to do Carter one!

Pumpkin in a Wagon

I finished up this set for Carter to wear this month through Thanksgiving and love how it turned out. I searched everywhere for the perfect pumpkin design.

Pumpkin in a wagon came from http://www.lynniepinnie.com/

Name is in Boys R Gross font.

Boy Pant Sets

I have had a few customers ask me about pant sets for boys. I was needing to finish up some winter clothing projects for Carter so I finished up a few boy pants sets yesterday to show customers.  They run the same amount as the ruffle pant sets.  These were just some random fabrics I had lying around, but I have most gingham colors fabric to match applique shirts.  The dinosaur is a new applique I purchased. I wanted  it to match the pants. It is from ww.appliquecafe.com.
Name is in Boys R Gross font.

Cherie applique font for the large C initial.

Turkey Time!

New turkey applique from http://www.embroidery-boutique.com/.  Names are in the Mandingo font from http://www.8clawsandapaw.com/

Ribbon name towel

A cute name towel for a little girl's Baptism with the date of her Baptism on the bottom!

I picked  up this ribbon up at Hobby Lobby because it was 100% polyster just like the thread  I use so if you like to use bleach on your towels it's okay because the ribbon and thread will keep their color. And yes, I tested it out. I bleached the ribbon twice and it stayed true pink and lime green.

Name and numbers are in the Kwekel font.

Baby Boy Set

I found these cute hooded towels at Tuesday Mornings and bought a few to monogram on. They are really soft and thick.  For a matching baby set I did a long sleeve onesie with a blue minky dot applique to match the towel. I think it looks really cute together.

Applique letter in Chunky dots applique font with jeffrey font for name.
