EG's Etsy ~ Just Listed

I have an Etsy shop. It's an online store front for selling things.
I originally started it to sell some of my design samples. I've got a lot :)
I decided I need to keep the majority of my samples for trunk shows and for when I vend my designs.

I have a few of my designs listed and some finished items. I need to put more time & effort into my Etsy, but I just don't have much extra time now.

I recently picked up crocheting again at night as I watch TV.

I've listed this cute Flower Pincushion in bright blue/lime green & hot pink/dark chocolate.

Seedlings

We transplanted all our seedlings into larger pots today.

Tomatoes, green peppers, jalapeno peppers, zinnias, sweet peas, salvias & poppies.

Time to start a second batch of seeds :)

IEC . . Fall 2010

I'll be vending and teaching at IEC (International Embroidery Conference) in Evansville, IN this Fall. NOW is the time to register.

The conference is for machine embroidery, sewing, quilting enthusiasts & more. There are classes and lectures to attend and a vendor area to shop at.

I'll be vending and teaching 2 classes.

In one of my classes you'll create a fun, 'in the hoop' Zippered Pumpkin Pouch. This cute little pouch will be completely finished in the hoop, including the zipper.

My other class is a Mini Owl Wall Hanging. It will feature machne embroidery applique, basics of assembling a wall hanging, quilting & binding.

Hope to see you there ♥

Orchids

I love orchids

I have several in bloom now and am waiting on a few to send up a new flower stalk.

































These aren't growing well, so I made a terrarium for them to up the humidity.
I'll let you know how they do.

'Peary' Easy Hot Pad / Pot Holders

These are super easy!
They're double thickness and I used Lily Sugar 'N Cream cotton yarn.

Here's the pattern I used.

I'm ♥ing the 'pear' color right now.

Ladybug Legs Towel ~ New!

I've got another original Towel Legs design in the works.
Hopefully, my Ladybug Legs Towel will be ready by Friday.

The machine embroidery designs and instructions are available on my web site HERE

WhOO . . .

This is the first thing I've crocheted of this type.

The pattern came from Coats & Clark

I used some yarn I had on hand.

Hoot, Hoot!

"Ollie" Owl Machine Embroidery Design

I'm ♥ing Owls right now.


Introducing "Ollie", one of my newest machine embroidery applique designs.

I quilted fabric on my sewing machine, then embroidered the owl onto it.
I mirror imaged the design to make the opposite one.

I centered them in wodden embroidery hoops and hot glued small branches to the bottom.

'Welcome' Planter

I did this for my Mom.

I cut the outdoor vinyl on my Cricut. The font is Aquarelle and the embellishment under Welcome is from My Vinyl Designer.

The tub & stand came from Old Tyme Pottery.
