Woohoo, just had to sales for a key chain and knitted dish cloths. I have all 32 NFL teams to choose from. I love to make the knitted or crocheted dish cloths, they are a lot of fine to make. Sales this weekend have been up from last week, that is a good thing. Time to get back to the knitting needles or maybe the crochet hook.....

I started to use Tweet Adder on one of my twitter accounts and just loved it. I can list my tweets and have them sent out over a specific time period which really works for me. When I started to use it on my Ebay account I started to see more sales when I would tweet what was in my store. I decided to use it on my other Twitter accounts. I have one for each website that I sell on, it was just

I found these cute lace bookmarks on my favorite embroidery design website. I just had to make them. I could have also made them into bracelets too, but I decided to add a little ribbon to each end and I like how they look. I did one in plain pink thread and the other in a variegated pink thread. I kind of really like the variegated one. I did a search online and found out that there are a

Well it sure has been a week here!! I never thought that selling pieces of NFL Team fabric would be going as good as it is. I got all 32 teams, wow that is a lot a fabric and the hottest seller is the New Orleans Saints. That fabric is hard to keep in stock. I have also been embroidering Halloween earrings, they are just the cutest. I also have some made for Christmas too. I really

This is a nice story about how I put 3 smiles on faces that normally don't smile these days..... It all started before I went on vacation. I saw really nice cell phone covers and thought when I get back I want to get myself one. When I got back I got one and really like it. I asked Natalie if she had any sea shell fabric. She looked high and low out in California for some. I found some

Gee I wonder if the "new" color for babies this year is green blankets with pink and brown embroidered on them. I have done a few blankets over the past month with those color schemes!! Been really busy listing things on Ebay. I decided to close my store and just list things starting at .99 for free, and only if they sell pay the final value fees. For me the final value

This was a blanket that I did for a dear friend. She wanted the phrase about the moon and stars. I was a little hesitant about doing it not know how the letters would look when done. It came out beautifully, I am very pleased with the way that it came out and she is very pleased with the blanket. Comments like that make it all worth while!!

I really am addicted to doing the lace things on the embroidery machine. It is just so fascinating to watch it get done. I hoop the Waster Soluble Stabilizer in the hoop, then it is off to the embroidery machine and stitch out the hearts. This is the best part of it all, I take the hearts out of the hoop then put them in a bucket of warm water for about 15 minutes. When I come back to check

I have been very busy this week working on Christmas towels. I didn't have one after the last craft show. I also had an order for the Home Sweet Home, and the Doggie towel. I think I will be seeing towels in my sleep!! I only have 2 more shows and that is it for this season. I think after the holidays I will be putting what I have left on my selling sites and see if I can sell them

I had a client contact me about making a walker bag using the Steelers fabric, I said sure why not. The walker bag can also be used on the rails of a hospital bed to keep your things handy. It also can be used on the arm of your motorized wheel chair. I have made one to use on the handles of a baby stroller to keep that body handy when the little needs it. For the first time in a long time I

Wow is has been a while since I have posted anything. Lately my days are filled with taking care of my sister who fell and broke her ankle. I don't have much time to do any sewing or embroidering, but have managed to get a few things done and here is what I have been working on lately. I do not have any Christmas towels at all, not one is left. I have a couple of craft shows in December and

This is the before and after pictures for the walker bag. I made the plain bag and then my client took it a step further and embellished it with Beads and Dangles. This turned out soo nice and looks great. Gee, it is amazing as to what 2 creative mind can do when put together. This really gives me an idea of how to use up some things that I have had laying around like for ever. I really

I am really glad to have reconnected after all these years. This blanket is for one of them. I recently got a different kind of thread and was eager to try it out on something.

This is a really cute design. I am making these for a dear client that it doing her Christmas shopping early. I will be making 2 hand towels and 2 bath towels and I might put just moo moo on the wash clothes, have not made up my mind there yet.

I had a very nice client request a red walker bag. I am really pleased that it turned out nicely. The walker bag looks kind of plain right now, but with her magic it will turn into a beaded treasure. She will beading a name on it along with some other beading and dangles. This is one where I can't wait to see the finished product. It is just amazing how you can take something so plain and

I am sure glad that this week is over!! It all started on Monday when I got a phone call that my sister was in the hospital with a broken ankle, no, totally smashed ankle from a fall. They had to put a plate and screws in it. She has MS and that was her good ankle, she was in a tizzy till things got worked out. She is in the Kessler Institute for Rehabilitation. She likes it there and the people

The blanket is for one of my favorite repeat clients.....I love all my repeat clients!!!! I love a challenge to finding designs for them. Sometimes it will take 2 designs to make one good one!!! I JUST LOVE CHALLENGES. With this one it was really simply, the colors were a little to girlish so we decided to change the colors and now "he" looks just fine. Recently I have added a comment box on

I love to do things for my sister, it is always a challenge. I THRIVE ON CHALLENGES. She wanted a t-shirt with hearts on it....well I had a few for her to choose from. Once she did decided it was onto the color of the hearts. In the pictures I did stitch outs using a variety of different colors. She finally decided on the variegated red thread which show it off nicely. She told me that getting

She has the sweetest granddaughter, Samantha is truly a gift from God.... Every time that I send her an order I always put a little something extra in for Samantha. This time she ordered a few creepers and asked to put a few special designs on and left

I found this awesome place to get backgrounds and banners for your blogs: http://www.thecutestblogontheblock.com/ This is really a nice site to find just what you want. They have very easy instructions about how to apply them to this blog. The only little thing I had go wrong was that the banner was not centered on the one. Answer:

I know that we all have these days, sitting at the computer most of the day just looking for that special thing that someone requested. Today was one of those type of days. I have been looking for baby dragon embroidery designs, smiley faces fabric or ribbon, but have not found any of that yet. I have surfed the wide world of the Internet but have come up empty handed on the smiley things. I

I have been working on a new banner today, oh boy what a headache till I figure things out. I do have a knack for figuring things out. I use a program called Banner Maker Pro. It is an easy program to use, but lately I have been pushing the limits of what I can do with it. I have a pile of index cards with notes on for all of my websites that I use either a banner or avatar on. This one

This is something that I have not done in a while. I do like to work on plastic canvas. I have made many of these tissue box covers for every occasion and every holiday. I needed one for in our bedroom and this was it. It was a very simple pattern to follow, but not having done any for a while I did mess up and had to rip it out and start over!

I can hardly believe that the summer is half over already. I always have used the summer months to get ready for the fall craft shows, but this year is different. I have hardly done any sewing this summer at all, only a few things made for the fall shows. That is something I need to get in order too, I would like to find more shows to do. I have been doing more house cleaning around here

It is nice to wake up to a order first thing in the morning. This client wanted a custom Favre #4, but she wanted it done in the Green Bay Packers. I got my coffee and went to the computer and started to do a mock up of what she wanted. I printed out the way that it would embroidee and then showed her the ribbon, webbing and a piece of Green Bay Packers material there to show her that the colors

Wow, it has been long time since I last posted on this blog. There has been a lot going on in my life lately. My business is starting to pick up, just a little bit, which is good. I have made a few changes to my labels and business cards, they are just similar and black and white. I have printed out my labels on fabric paper using my ink jet printer and cut them out, quick, fast and easy. I

I have been trying to come up with a label for my things. I have checked out sites on the Internet to purchase a fabric label, but oh boy were they expensive!! I went over Joann's Fabric store and asked my girls what can I use to make a label. They gave me a package of fabric paper that I can print on using my ink jet printer. The directions were pretty simple and this is the first batch that I

Today I embroidered these blankets for a very nice couple. I can't say enough about them, they are just soo nice to work with. They both have a creative mind and we all work well together when putting together a blanket. The hedge hog was an applique that I did on the blanket. I like to applique, it was something different and it looks good on the blanket. The pony was a very stitch

As I was going through and trying to clean up my studio I found this print. I thought why not make a bag with it. I had just enough to make this bag. I had to make a new pattern for this bag as I wanted to put a different color on the bottom so that it would not show the dirt. I am getting good as making my own patterns for things. Oh yes there is a zipper in this bag, I am also getting

I am just zipping right along here today. I have had several requests for a small change purse and this is it. It measures approximately 4.5" wide by 4.25" high.
