Most teachers LOVE coffee! If your little student's teacher is anything like me...they drink TONS of coffee all through the day. I used the Monogram Coffee Sleeve from Embroidery Garden and added "Best Teacher".

As a teacher myself, I really enjoyed making the snowballs for my kindergarten students. However, here is a Teacher Appreciation Day spin on the snowballs. Add "# 1 Teacher" to the face file of the Snowball. I used the fonts from my software. When sewing the panels together, insert a piece of Rick Rack folded upside down at the top of the apple. Once the panels are sewn together like the instructions for the Snowballs. Once the snowball is sewn shut, pinch the middle and sew down the middle like the tomato for the wrist pincushion. Make sure you catch the leaf in those stitches at the top too. Click <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/shop/project-design-sets/snowman-snowballs-set-2.html" target="_blank">here</a> for the Snowball design. </div>

See Through cases are fantastic for teachers to use in the classroom and at home. I love putting golden tickets in my see through case at school.

The Embroidery Garden has a beautiful collection of purses. Below are some examples of a few of Reen's clever and stunning purse designs.<br />
<br />
Here is a fall sample of the 2 Zipper Purse Set. These purses also have a back pocket option. This pocket is a great place to add some contrasting fabric to the design. This purse comes in three sizes; the 5x7, 6x10, and the 7x12. In the picture below, you can see the 5x7 purse stitched out. This purchase comes with a flower embellishment. <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/shop/in-the-hoop/2-zipper-prse-set.html" target="_blank">Click here</a> for the 2 Zipper Purse Set.<br />

A similar design but with a single zipper is the Hipster Purse set. You can <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/shop/in-the-hoop/purses-wristlets/hipster-purse-set.html" target="_blank">click here</a> for the set. This purse also has a back pocket that is perfect for a phone. This set comes in two sizes, the 6x10 and the 5x7. I used the back pocket on mine to make it look like the owl is peeking out.

One of my favorite purses in Embroidery Garden is the Cross Body bag. Below you can see that I also added a monogram. Most purses allow for a monogram after the quilting of that section is done or once you pull that piece of fabric over the batting that has been secured down. The Cross Body purse collection comes in 4 sizes; the 6x10, 7x12, 8x12, and the 9x14. Below is the 6x10 size. I also love the back pocket with the flap and the optional card lining. You can <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/shop/in-the-hoop/cross-body-bags.html" target="_blank">click here</a> for the design.</div>

The Embroidery Garden even sells patterns for a clutch! The Clutch Purse Set pictured below, can also be made into a purse with straps if you would like to add them. I love the card lining and large flap on this design. You can add a monogram to the flap if you so desire. <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/shop/in-the-hoop/clutch-purse-set.html" target="_blank">Click here</a> for a link to the Clutch Purse Set.

As a teacher, I loved getting little homemade Valentine's cards with a hand drawn picture. Over the years I have collected quite a few and have kept every one in a memory box.<br />
Here are a couple Valentine ideas from the Embroidery Garden.<br />
<br />
Below is a picture of the penguin softie. I added "#1 Teacher" where the instructions told me to add a name. I also created a teacher gift basket for my favorite Kindergarten teacher, Mrs. Doppler, using this softie, some chocolates, and the Embroidery Garden's ruler holders. You could also add the glue stick holders in the basket as well. Teachers can ALWAYS use more supplies! <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/shop/in-the-hoop/softie-toys/penguin-softies.html" target="_blank">Click here</a> for the penguin softie. <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/shop/in-the-hoop/valentine-candyless-favors.html" target="_blank">Click here</a> for the ruler and glue stick holders.<br />

Kids also love these little penguins. I love using the penguin and putting the kid's name on the belly or a cute heart created by Rhonda Sigrist. Below you can see the penguin softie with Embroidery Garden's Holiday envelopes. I like the small mailboxes available for a dollar at Target. It is always fun to pass mail back and forth:) <a href="http://www.embroiderygarden.com/shop/in-the-hoop/holiday-envelopes-set.html" target="_blank">Click Here</a> for the holiday envelope set that also includes Christmas envelopes. These envelopes would also make a cute envelope for those student homemade pictures I talked about earlier. <a href="http://www.astitchintimedesigns.com/" target="_blank">Click Here</a> for Rhonda's sweet heart design as seen below on the penguin's belly.</div>

Do you suffer from over excitement thread toss? I know I do.
Sometimes I get so engulfed in embroidery that all of a sudden supplies and
tools end up being tossed to the side and out of place. Before you know it,
your poor sewing space is all in a heap! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Here are some tips on how to organize your sewing space to
help you stay organized. These tips are inspired by Reen Wilcoxson, Jen
Wilcoxson, and me (KC Wilcoxson). <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
-Organize thread by
color. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
This allows for you to
quickly access the exact color and shade of thread you need. Pictured below is
how Reen has organized her thread by using drawers and a product called Diamond
Drawer Organizer. Not only does this product help organize by color but it also
keeps the thread from moving around inside the drawer.<o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
This allows for easy
access to stabilizers and a cute way of storing them. The vinyl pockets allow
for labels to be clearly seen so you know exactly what type of stabilizer is in
each pocket without rummaging through a pile or a bucket of stabilizer.

-Ribbon Storage<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Ribbon can be a tricky
item to store away neatly. Reen and I prefer to store our ribbon using Swing
Arm Slack Hangers. All the colors and patterns are visible from the display
hanger. The ribbon stays in place and doesn’t unravel like it would in a
drawer. These hangers free up a lot of storage space. If you don’t have a
closet in your sewing area, you can always hang the hangers on a handle or even
a wire from a shelf. <o:p></o:p></div>

-Button Storage<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Many people have a
button tin. However, finding a particular button color deems difficult when all
types and colors are freely roaming together within the same tin. I have found
that office desk organizers help to separate buttons if you like to store them
in a drawer. However, buttons can also make cute decor for a sewing space.
Pictured below is a display in Reen’s sewing space. Reen used mason jars to
store the buttons and set them on a cute wooden shelf. This gives Reen’s space
a nice home feel. <o:p></o:p></div>

-Bobbin Storage<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
It can be very difficult to find
a way to store bobbins without the bobbins unraveling and getting into one
giant tangle. While spending several hours roaming Pinterest, I found a simple
and neat way of storing bobbins. Take a couple of toe separators, typically
used for painting your toe toes, and place the bobbins in the toe separator.
This would also help with organizing the bobbins by color if you place all of
one color but different shades within the same toe separator. I don’t use very
many different colors for bobbins so I use a desk organizer for mine. I found
one that has a small enough compartments that holds my bobbins in a way where I
can see the thread colors and the bobbins don’t roll around to be tangled.
Below is a picture of the toe separator method as well as the desk organizer
that I use in my sewing drawer. <o:p></o:p></div>

-Fabric Storage<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormalCxSpMiddle">
Each person has their
own way of storing fabric. I find it very difficult to throw out any scraps
that I could possibly use in the future for another design. I typically throw a
piece in my scrap bin if it is 4in by 4 in or smaller. The rest of my fabric is
hung up between metal shelves. This way, I can see what fabric I have and what
fabric I need to get. I have also seen some women hang their large amounts of fabric
on a blanket display.<o:p></o:p></div>

After a busy 2013, I've been cleaning my sewing room.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Going through cabinets, drawers, etc and purging.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I can actually see the floor now :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I came across these blocks I made several years ago in a drawer. I used to save just about every scrap I had thinking . . . I can use that for something. I did use the scraps to make these blocks then got bored and stashed them away.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjvhX5S6g15Fcxn1XCmedkkklnUkzsO_sOf0gK5rv5-knbWDNDfHx7fqeyEBHhPbL968Zp6hv5_MneGZKDCjshAgZwxZHuqjp0n5pt15J4Qf9i8qxkj7xil74ETNh_6n_dhA6nJvkcIj0/s1600/photo1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhjvhX5S6g15Fcxn1XCmedkkklnUkzsO_sOf0gK5rv5-knbWDNDfHx7fqeyEBHhPbL968Zp6hv5_MneGZKDCjshAgZwxZHuqjp0n5pt15J4Qf9i8qxkj7xil74ETNh_6n_dhA6nJvkcIj0/s320/photo1.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When I found them a few days ago, I immediately thought of the old chicken pincushions.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a couple that I use almost daily. They were made long ago and have seen better days.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I threaded up my sewing machine and whipped this one out in no time.<br />
<i>Cluck, cluck</i></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: center;">
. . . wonder what other treasures I will find as I continue cleaning </div>

Heat Press!!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Christmas came a bit early when my husband bought me a heat press.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I've wanted one for a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is my first project - a personalized Santa bag for our grandson, Ethan.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I love how it turned out.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I made the bag from duck (canvas) to last many, many, years.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm hoping it brings fun memories for Ethan as he grows up and hopefully lasts for him to use it for his kids :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<i>MERRY CHRISTMAS!!</i></div>

You can never have too many snowman ideas :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here's a cute, quick, inexpensive gift .</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I got the small red tub and white bath scrubbie from Dollar Tree.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The body wash (with label removed) is from Target.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I cut the snowman face and the snowflakes from vinyl using my Cricut.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I'm going to wrap it in cellophane, add a bow and cute gift tag for my neighbor.</div>

While standing in line at a Dollar Tree store this summer, I looked over and saw some small solar powered yard lights.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Immediately I thought it looked like a snowman :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
After hanging on to the light all summer and fall, I got it out last week and made this.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I cut a small snowflake and the face from vinyl using my Cricut and applied them to the light.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
A scrap of burlap was used for the scarf.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The vase is filled with florist foam soaked in water.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I stuck the light in the center and added fresh holiday greenery all around it.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Set him by a window to absorb sunshine and at night he will light up!</div>

I know these scarves have been around awhile, but I just learned how to make one.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don't knit, but I can crochet. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A neighbor showed me how to knit one of these recently. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was so easy and came out really cute.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It's about 5' long and I used <a href="http://www.redheart.com/yarn/boutique-sashay" target="_blank">Red Heart Sashay yarn</a>.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
There are tons of videos on how to make these.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I need to make a few for Christmas gifts :)</div>
