Bubble Chandelier

I just adore the look of these "new" Bubble Chandeliers! They're all over the internet and HGTV programs!

eclectic dining room design by san francisco architect Mark English Architects, AIA

I'm saving this idea for my "Dream House"!
After doing some internet surfing I was able to find both pricey and less pricey options.
Premiere Luminaire http://premiereltg.com/ had similar styles that ranged from $380-$3,400. Other sites had them up to $12,000!!!
Then I found this great DIY link! http://froufroufashionista.blogspot.com/2010/05/bubble-chandelier-diy.html

Definitely drool worthy!!!

Gifts for Macy

Another vinyl lined tote and embroidered cup.

Welcome Simon!

One of my colleagues was blessed with a new addition to their family this past Christmas Eve!
I decided to do some internet searching to see if there was a pattern out there to make another bag similar to the leopard bag I made and lo and behold I found one on Little Lizard King. The pattern was similar to the one I whipped up on my own, but hers only had the one handle and I really like that so I used it on this bag. I also chose to line this one with HeatnBond Vinyl to make it leak proof! I bought several rolls of this when it was on clearance at JoAnn's a while back. Now I've got the perfect use for it! I see many more bags in my future!
The applique patterns for the burp and bib are from Planet Applique.
The Elephant is holding a minky style blanket that I embroidered with his name and date of birth.

I Massage!

Another embroidered T-shirt gift for my fave massage therapist! :)

Bus Driver T-Shirt

Isn't this a funny saying? I couldn't resist making this for my sister who starts her debut as a school bus driver today!

Leopard Bag

I thought it was time to post something besides embroidery projects! But don't worry they'll be back tomorrow! :)
I made this little bag out of two fat quarters and some ribbon. Nothing fancy, just a little gift bag to fill with goodies. The hardest part was the box pleat corners and if you've made them you know they are super simple! Of course I could always add a monogram or something before I give the gift. ;)

Happy NEW YEAR!!!

Wishing everyone a blessing filled 2012!
