I can't stop thinking that Pluto is a planet

I know it's not technically a planet anymore but I still think of it as one and so does a little three year old who's mom asked me to make a custom shirt for him! Here is the cute little shirt I made for him.

Is your fridge ready for the election???

When people come into your kitchen do they say "That's one opinionated fridge you have there!"? Would you like them to?? :) I first hand embroidered the word Liberal on to felt then encased this bad boy in resin...so it can easily be wiped clean. the heavy duty magnet on the rear is also set into the resin. It's one of the first times I've worked with resin, it was fun!

Look what I did this weekend

Well other than shovel snow :) I embroidered this cute little donkey he's my new favorite.

Do you like funky hand embroidery?

I know I do!! These are some of my favorite pieces.



If you would like to do some neat funky embroidery you should check out Sublime Stitching the site is great! http://www.sublimestitching.com/ here are a couple pieces I've done from their patterns. This is a purse for my friend Virginia

These I made for my daughter


and finally here is one of my pillow cases :)

Sneak Peek

Hey all for my second post I figured I'd show something I was working on.
I love hand embroidery!!! I got hooked a while back I love doing it and I think it just looks so fun. Another great thing about it is I can actually do it when my daughter is up! That is very important I've had to temporarily give up knitting because she just won't let me! This will be made in to a tote bag eventually~a really nice one with zippered pockets and everything ;) the pattern is inspired by the art on dress patterns from the late 50's.
