Fall 2016 Projects

The Fall of 2016 started with a very large project for my sisters company.  I embroidered on 20 plush robes for a company event.  It proved to be well worth my time and energy, even though it was a little crazy.  I have these robes posted in my etsy shop as well, if you find you need one ;) 

The robes (along with some birthday $$) were used to upgrade to a larger machine.  It is beautiful and does awesome work.  I am still learning, but very proud of the things I can accomplish in my beautiful craft room because of it. 

 

For Halloween, I made Abigail's costume.  Can you guess what she was?

What if we show you the entire costume?

Get it? Paper, Scissors, Rock!

Once we finally made it to Christmas break, I got the chance to spend some time making projects for our family.  This year was strange because I made myself promise not to make gifts for everyone.  We went the boring "store bought" route, but hopefully everyone liked there gifts.

This gave me just enough time over the break to embroider the robe for the hospital.

And make Annalee a blanket.  Abigail loves hers, I hope Annalee comes to love hers in the same way. 

I also ordered dresses from Etsy (no, I didn't make these).  I did however, add their names. Annalee and Abilgail will leave the hospital in style--matching of course!

 

Over all a busy semester with not enough crafting, hopefully maternity leave will provide opportunities for more crafting... and even more snuggles!

Summer 2016 projects

I can't help it.  I just love making things... but I am clearly not the best at following through and posting pictures of my creations in a timely manner.  But hey, I did all of this during the summer (2016) while chasing an almost 2 year old and being sick as a dog pregnant!  

This was a sweet hand-me-down that was too cute not to use.  So i just made a patch to go over it. :)

Happy Anniversary Bryan. 

Spring 2016 projects

So I realize that it is fall now... but I haven't done well with updating the blog because of... well life.  So here are finished projects from along the way.

This was for a friend who was working on a t-shirt quilt as a gift. 

My beautiful princess was the flower girl for my best friends wedding.  While her dress was beautiful, I would have done MANY things differently for it.  

Then, right before spring break... I started the BUNNIES!  This was round 2 of bunnies, but they were not all for me... don't worry.  My friend Kacee jumped on this band wagon too. I did however make a BUNCH of bunnies! 

This is a piece that we are really proud of.  It took a long time for us to finish, but we replaced the top, and then painted it this fun color for a customer.

This pretty much wraps up the spring as far as crafting goes.  It was a busy spring!  

But I guess the most important project I did was making this for my mom for Mother's Day: 

We found out in April that we are expecting Baby Salsa in January 2017! Chips (Abigail) is very excited!
