Appliqued Beach Babe T-Shirt


I just love this design from Planet Applique ! It's going to be part of my nieces birthday gift. I love that I can make these appliqued designs for relatives! My boys are too "old" for them! :) There will be more to come as I have several birthdays in the summer to prepare gifts for.

Triton's Gifts






My great-nephew turned 1 and I found an adorable Sock Monkey I had to buy for his birthday, also prompting me to create the sock monkey finger puppets and T-shirt (designs found at www.myembroiderynook.com). The tool belt was a design I purchased from planetapplique.com. My son asked me why I didn't put the design higher on the T-shirt so I reminded him that tool belts are worn around the waist! :) I found the pail at Target to put all the gifts in and cut Triton's name in vinyl to match the pail handle.

Yin Yang Applique


My sister loves to wear black and white and has several pieces of jewelry with the Yin Yang symbol on it. A lady on Sew Forum  created this embroidery file. I used a light weight T-shirt and fat quarter fabric I purchased at Joann Fabric's

From door to door sign!





I found this cabinet door at a salvage yard for $1.00 and have always wanted to make a monogram sign with the craft robo. I learned a lot (about what I'd do different next time! hehe)

Under $38.00 (including tax)










Finally having free time today, my youngest son and I decided to hit up the local Goodwill and Salvation Army stores. The fun of course is in the "hunt"! Well, today I surprised even myself with all the loot I brought home! Some pieces will get some revamping, others will remain untouched.
