Going to the Dogs...

Need a gift idea for your friend who has everything? How about a personalized Pet Bowl??

These are so incredibly cute and well made. Like most monogrammable acrylics, they have to be hand washed. The black ring at the base is actually to make the bowl skid-proof so it won't scoot across the floor while the pet is eating. Available in two sizes (The one shown is the larger one) and, as always, available in your choice of fabrics and thread colors. This one is for the pet of a loyal Auburn fan so I appliqued a paw print onto the base fabric of navy blue and white gingham.

Thanks so much for stopping by, and email me if you'd like to place an order!

Baby Gifts

There were lots of back to school and baby gift embroidery happening this week. These two gifts were lots of fun to stitch out: Long sleeved onesie with French Dot monogram, Burp pad with petal patch and MWP Party Time "G" and a "Nappy Sax" (Diaper clutch).


For the little boy, a burp pad with circle patch and Garton monogram, long sleeved onesie and pacifier clip (not shown) with matching monograms.

Thanks for stopping by! Be sure to email me with your orders and questions!

Peas in a Pod

These were so much fun to stitch out! This is an order for Boy/Girl twins. Long sleeved onesies and plush terry bibs to match.

Have a great weekend and thanks so much for stopping by!

Backpacks!

It's that time again...back to school. And I must say that I am NOT ready for mine to go back just yet! I have really enjoyed our summer together!

However, I DO love the back to school hub-bub...new backpacks, new lunchboxes, new sneakers and new crayons. Getting them ready to go back always brings back the excitement I felt when I saw the things my mom brought home for my back to school days!
(It also means SEC FOOTBALL...but that's for another post!)
My machine has been busy monogramming backpacks and lunchboxes. I love the Stephen Josephs for the little ones, but for the older crowd you just can't beat the LL Bean backpacks. There are so many cute colors this year and those things really hold up well!
Let me know if you'd like a monogram on your child's backpack or lunchbox! I have LOTS of great fonts and thread colors...I would love to help you personalize their back to school things!

Peas In A Pod

Another Multiple Momma requested these bibs for her boy/girl twins, but was unsure about the bow being pinned or handstitched onto the bib. So I merged the bow from the Applique Cafe Octopus onto the Pea in a Pod design, altered the size, rotated it and just made it part of this design!
Thanks for stopping by!

Kanzashi Flowers

My newest hobby: Kanzashi Flowers! Y'all know how I love to save an item from the landfill and give it a new life, so when my husband handed me a fistfull of neckties that had tiny little stains on them I simply couldn't toss them into the trashcan. So I put them in the fabric stash thinking surely there must be a way to recycle these! Then I remembered an article in Sew Beautiful about these kanzashi flowers. I had made one for my daughters Easter dress out of a cotton fabric, so I thought I would give it a try with one of these neckties. Out came my trusty old friend, Mr. Seam Ripper, and we took apart those ties, ironed them out and started cutting.

What do you think?



This one is for my mom, but I plan on making a few more to add to The Shop. I also plan on making one to add to this very plain boxy denim jacket I purchased but only wore once because "it just needed something". I think this little beauty is just what it needed!




Have a great weekend!

Taking orders again!

Now that the cushions are recovered, potty training is at 75% and outfits for the twins are nearing completion, I am ready to start taking orders once again.

I will post pictures of new designs I have purchased for Fall and Winter soon...but for now here is a pic of a shirt I just finished for one of the twins. The "football alphabet" applique is from Planet Applique and the font is MWP "tipsy". First football practice is tonight so we've got to start getting ready!!
