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. 

Last Year's Stockings

With Christmas quickly approaching, I found some stockings that I embroidered on last year.  I didn't make the stockings, but I thought it would be fun to share the end results... a year later. 

Liz's wedding order

Over the summer, I had the opportunity to embroidery shirts for a friend's wedding.  My sister was the maid of honor and it was fun watching her and the bride prep for the wedding this past October.  I didn't want to post pictures until after the wedding, an then October-Thanksgiving have been a little hectic around here.  These pictures were taken quickly, and don't do the shirts justice. 

These were fun to get to make, and I think the bride loved them.  Here are two of her maids (One being a favorite of mine!)  :)

2 More Bib Sets

Surprise! I made two more bib sets!  I know shocking!  Both of these sets were orders from my Mother-in-law.  She had the sweet idea of adding a bow to the little girl set.

The pictures don't do the following set justice. They are too cute!  This might be my favorite color scheme for a bib set yet.  I just love the turquoise, I can't help it. :) 

She added the bow to match the bib set and then asked for two more matching bows for the two big sisters!  Super sweet.
