Nothing New as of Late.

So, I haven't made anything new lately, forgive me. The holiday season took me by storm. Shopping and planning for a christmas and birthday party. Rest assured new projects will soon be underway. Got an early christmas present from the hubby and I am sure to be inspired. Merry Christmas everyone!

husband and wife pillow

Beautiful hand embroidered Hawai'i pillow.

First Ever Wallet

So, I have made my first ever wallet. I am so extremely proud of it. You can't really see the stitching I did on one side. But I believe it looks pretty good. My first time using sequins, too. I am hooked. I want to use them on everything now.

Bathroom Curtain

So, yesterday I got the bright idea to make curtains for my house. Without bothering to get measurements or anything. hahaha. Not so bright. I ended up only making one curtain for my living room. So, I find myself having to go to the fabric store for more fabric. It's such a nice print too. very Japanese, deep red, with carp swimming around.
On a good note though! I did buy enough for my bathroom curtains!!! yea! I am very proud of how that one came out! The main color cream with accents of a new fabric I found. I am in love with this fabric. Going to have to stock up

Shoes for my little guy!

OK. So, I haven't been posting anything new lately as promised. I am sorry. But I do have something new to post. I made my son some shoes. Hahaha! OK so they look more like badly made elf shoes. But it took me three tries to even get shoes on him that fit. Please bear with me. They are the best I could do.

On a funny note he fell asleep in his highchair while waiting for me to finish them. What a great sport!

Dia De Los Muertos t-shirts

I made us wonderful day of the dead t-shirts. Might I say me and my son looked fabulous today. Both shirts only took 1 day each. Really getting better at Embroidering. So, if you see something you would like or want me to make something, I would really be happy to do it.

Stockings Done! woohoo!

Stockings {check}
So Excited that they are done! Finally finished. I did go off on some side projects. That is a totally different post. haha! But our Christmas stockings are all finished. I am so pleased with the end result. They are simple but fantastic.

Christmas Stockings!

O.K. So, I have been busy making stockings. Finished one today! Yea!

Want to make it? Awesome, here are the details.

Grab any old stocking, tons of floss, and your transfer pens.

Draw out the name and lights. Then start embroidering. Name is done with a chain stitch. Lights rope is a fabulous stem stitch. Last, the lights are done with a satin stitch, outlined with a back stitch. Just that easy.

With about 1 hour a day and two days total. I finished this one stocking. Now two more stockings to go. Post the finished product once they are all finished.

Happy Embroidering!

Halloween Pumpkins!

Momma! Poppa! Baby!

Scentsy Tablecloth Finished!

Ok. So, I finished the tablecloth yesterday night. It's not exactly how I pictured it. hahaha That's funny though because it came out better.

Scentsy Tablecloth

OK. So, I doing a Scentsy party for this Mom's Shop @ Home event. I had this dream that I had all of my stuff on this Beautiful white and purple tablecloth. Just went to the store and bought white and purple fabric. I am making this thing. Even if I have to stay up late, just so I can have it by Thursday. Let's see how this turns out. Hopefully as pretty as it was in my dream.

Breast Cancer Race for the Cure Gear!

Literally last minute projects. I did both of these after I got home from work today! Just in time for tomorrow's race. Entire onesie done with back stitch. Pink ribbon is a headband for myself. We are supporting the cause. Now off to get some rest before the big run!

pillow completed!

Woohoo! This a cause for celebration. I have finished my son's pillow. Booyah! To everyone who said I start things and never finish. Anyways, here is the finished product. I am so proud I actually finished and you can tell he loves it. HAHAHA! I have even added a little tag on it with LC.
What to do for my next project? Oh, the possibilities!

turtle pillow for my son!

O.K. So, I have been working on making a pillow for my son. He loves sea turtles. I found this great printed fabric. Now I am embroidering it just for a more personal touch. In case you want to make your own and can't see the stitches here is how I did it. Outline of the shell is done with a chain stitch, inside with a back stitch, eyes are french knots. The waves I hand drew and are stitched with a stem stitch. I will post a picture of the actual finished pillow once it's done.

UPDATE: so, I decided to finally put my pics on my laptop and what do you know my son cracks the screen not even and hour later. Thanks to the hubby for helping me restore my pics onto an external hard drive.

Back to Crafting!

Ok. So, I am definitely going to start doing all my arts and crafts again. I really miss it. First thing I am going to do is print out all my pictures! I have so many its insane. Print them out month by month! Then get started on actually putting them in a Scrapbook. This should be interesting!
