New Twin Design!

I adore this new design!! These little "peas in a pod" are perfect for nursery decor, onesies or burp pads and bibs! Are there twins in your future? If so, fasten your seat belts because it is a wild and crazy (but oh, so wonderful) ride!! If you have a girlfriend having twins soon, these will be the hit of the babyshower.

The bow can be removed for washing. (or not put on at all) Both little peas have a sprig of curly hair on top of their little heads that can be done in any color or you could have little balds heads as well!

Baby Gift

A girl in my Sunday School class is expecting her second baby! To celebrate, we're throwing a little shower for her and her baby boy. She says the nursery will be in blue with green frog accents, so I purchased these adorable frog designs from Lynnie Pynnie to embellish a burp pad and terry bib.(I LOVE these bibs!!) The great thing about these designs is that she offers an applique and a fill stitch version, so I could make the items coordinating! The font used is Monogram Wizard Plus "Tipsy", a favorite for boys. I was able to merge the font and frogs using Sew What Pro. I also made and monogrammed these sweet baby booties (sort of a mish-mash of 3 different patterns I found online) with some royal blue twill and lined them with a royal blue and white soft gingham. It needed something more, so I did a little monogrammed luggage tag as well.


Side note: A few of you have asked about the baby booties, and to be honest I really haven't found one pattern that I just love for this particular style. The best advice I can offer after having made several of these to give as gifts (and several that wound up in the trash can) is: 1) finish all your seams. Remember that little baby feet are going in these so you want the inside to be soft and you also don't want your edges to fray. Many online patterns and tutorials don't tell you to do this and you'll regret it if you don't. 2) don't just make slits in the lining for your elastic to thread through. Even if you are using fleece or some other non-fraying fabric, you still need a little more support so go ahead and make button holes instead.

Happy Valentines Day a day late...

I am lucky to have married a great guy who is a terrific father and husband, and I had to smile when I saw this video. I can remember a time when his plans probably didn't include a wife, four kids, a mortgage (ok, two for now...) and the responsibilities that come with all of the above. Long days at the office, leaky gutters, bathroom re-remodels, broken appliances, and the ever-haunting mystery of the "grease trap" (if you don't know, don't ask) can loom over his head like a thunder cloud...but through it all, he keeps plugging along, always with a funny little comment ("Don't mind the mule, just load it on the wagon") and the presence of mind to always mention how blessed he is. What a great guy.

This video is too good not to share. Hope you enjoy!

Orders are here!

I didn't have time to take a picture, but wanted to let everyone who is waiting know that the order I placed has arrived! I ordered a few extras to keep in my "stash" so if you need a gift please let me know and I will pull it for you. The Man In Brown delivered to my doorstep: Market Baskets (again, the collapsible kind) in several yummy colors including the new maroon, travel mugs, sports mugs, golf towels and the most fantastic baby bibs I have ever ordered! Most of the bibs you find are pretty skimpy, if you ask me...but not these. These are what I refer to as "toddler bibs" because they are large enough in size and the terry is thick enough to absorb the mess a toddler can make with certain foods! I am seriously doubting that I will ever sew bibs again after seeing and feeling these. I ordered the dozen in plain white, that way they could be monogrammed, appliqued and/or dressed up with ribbon and trim as people requested. I can't wait to get started on some of these orders! But...

My big embroidery machine was due for servicing, so I took her in for a check up. I could tell it was getting to be that time...lots of upper thread breakage, funny noises and a few things just not coming out quite to my satisfaction. I didn't want to chance messing up on someone's order. I should be getting her back within the week (fingers crossed!) but for now I will be focusing on sewing some Easter outfits for the kiddos.
