Burlap Flowers Photo Project

As promised, here is my finished photo project using the In the Hoop Burlap Flowers I made.
The wreath was purchased at JoAnns already pre-made. 
I used a 50% off coupon :)
The little black frames were purchased at Dollar Tree.
The frames have holes in the easels on the back side.

I attached the frames, with large safety pins. It was a bit tricky, but they are all secure.
I wanted to be able to remove the frames so I can change out the photos.

 I sized and printed all the photos of our grandson in black & white.

I used 3 of my burlap flowers to embellish my photo wreath.
The flowers are in this set of mine:

In the Hoop Burlap Flowers

I love experimenting with my designs.
I stitched one of my Frayed & Layered Flowers using burlap instead of cotton fabrics.
I love how it turned out.
I'm working on a family photo project and a few flowers like this will be the perfect addition to it.
My In the Hoop Frayed & Layered Flowers Set 2 can be found on my site here:

I will post my finished project in a few days :)

In the Hoop Leaves & Dollar Store Crafts

My new 'In the Hoop Fall Leaves' designs were created to be used with 
Texture Magic is a polyester fabric that when steam is applied, it shrinks causing dimension and texture in the fabric project it is being used in.
The leaf below is before steam is applied.
 Look at the dimension created after applying steam to the leaf stitched with Texture Magic.

There are 6 fall leaves in the set. They all stitch up quick!

 Use the finished leaves for a variety of projects.
Make brooches, wreaths, seasonal displays, etc.
I created these 2 projects with my Fall Leaves and things from Dollar Tree.
Each one was under or around $5.00 to make.
Here is what I started with from Dollar Tree. I didn't use everything I bought. I saved some things for other projects :)

Spooning

I took a little time out and made something for me.
The frame is from Michaels. I didn't use the glass.
It's embroidered on linen using Scriptina and Caroline fonts.
The old spoons are glued on with E6000.
It will sit in an easel in my kitchen.

Homemade Breast Pump Bras

We welcomed our first grandchild about 2 weeks ago.
He's simply precious :)

Our DIL wanted breast pump bras (not the same as a nursing bras). 
The pump bras needed to be ordered, are expensive and comfort is an issue.

She had comfortable bras she wanted to use and asked if I could help. 

I pondered how I could do this and immediately thought to use my embroidery machine. 
I was able to quickly digitize a large eyelet that I used to create openings in the bras to accommodate the pump part.

This is going to work out perfectly and be more cost efficient and comfortable.
