1 Yard Apron with Embroidery

Embroidry text

.

I forgot to take the camera with me to the Activity Day Girls activity and so I have no pictures of their sewing skills on the pockets.  I had two aprons left over so instead of sewing a pocket on them, I am machine embroidering on them to give as gifts.  Sorry my photography is not great, and I couldn’t find my iron, which I know is around here somewhere, so that I could make it look nice and not wrinkled.  But such is life.  I know I’ll find it eventually.  I have posted a closer picture of the actual embroidery so that you can see it.  I love this one. :)

Yesterday was my last day at the current long term temp job so I am out looking again.  Surely something permanent will be forth coming soon.  All I can do is rely on the blessings and tender mercies of the Lord after all I can do.

You've Been Bad

We had our Single Adult Christmas party tonight for the 1st, 2nd and 3rd wards of my Church.  We were told to bring a White Elephant gift.  Now my friends will know where my oldest son got his sense of humor from ;P.  The glass decanter was something that I found and I bought winter stickers to go on it.  I used a craft joke I had seen many years ago that would work with this decanter and bought the mini marshmellows and made the card that I hung on the decanter (you can click on the picture for a larger image).   Hehe, it still makes me laugh :P.

The other gift, yes that is a roll of toilet paper that I discovered you can embroider on.   I got the embroidery idea from this  website ,  found a cute design and walaa, cuteness :).  It’s a very inexpensive way to dress up a bathroom and it got a chuckle or two. :)  Anyway these were what the one that ended up with my gift got.

Embroidered Frog

My daughter asked me to embroider frogs on a towel set for a friend who loves frogs.  This was one of about 3 different frog designs I had, and I thought this design was probably the nicest.

You can see in this picture  that I did them in different positions to add to the visual on the towels.  I thought they turned out pretty cool.  Hope her friend will enjoy them.

It’s time again to embroider things for the Whippet Club my son belongs to that they give as prizes at the show they host every late summer/fall.  They still had a few items left over from last year so I don’t need to embroider quite as many :).  It’s a nice design and looks great when embroidered on the towels and blankets.  I’m sure the winners enjoy them.

Work is going well, just wish I had more time to knit and spin, clean and unpack, sigh.  I feel so time crunched.  Ever notice that when you are young time goes by so slowy and you are sure that it takes forever for anything, and then as you get older time seems to unmercifully speed up and you don’t have time for anything?  I think things should go fast when you are younger and slow down when you get older ;P.
