Winter Spring Coaster Set

I had such a great response to my Holiday Coasters, I did another set.

These nice oversized coasters are made completely in the hoop. No additional sewing.
These coasters sew up pretty quick.
Use the pocket on the back for gift cards, packaged teas, etc!
Make a set, stack 'em up and tie together with a ribbon for a cute gift.

Included in this set is a Bunny, Penguin, Shamrock, Flower, Heart and a full set of Monogram coasters!

You can find out more about this set, including purchasing it HERE

Heat Transfer Vinyl


I made this shirt for my daughter in law. She teaches Body Vive at her gym.
I used Heat Transfer Vinyl and cut it on my Cricut.
It turned out pretty good.
I might buy a heat press - a cheapie one @ WalMart. My iron worked okay, but I think use a press might even be better.
Just another toy to have:)

NEW! ~ Chocolate Candy Bar Holders



These 'made in the hoop' designs will hold 3 sizes of Hershey chocolate bars or a packet of cocoa or other candy, etc. in the pocket on the back.

There is no additional sewing required.
These are perfect for the Holidays, Valentine's, Birthdays, Thank You's, co-workers, teachers or just a little something to show you're thinking of someone.

Who doesn't love CHOCOLATE???

♥ ♥ ♥ ♥

ALSO INCLUDED are 2 adorable Baby Announcement Holders!
How cute would these be at baby showers as favors or for the new parents or grandparents to give out announcing their newest addition!

My 'It's A SHE' & 'It's A HE' holders can be personalized on the back.

These hold a 1.55 oz HERSHEY chocolate bar & the opening lets either the 'SHE' or 'HE' from the HERSHEY wrapper show through.

Grinch Glass Block & Purdue Ornament


I've been playing with my Cricut again ♥

One of my sons goes to Purdue University. The other graduated from there. When I saw these gold ornaments, I knew I wanted to make these. Boiler Up!



I ♥ the Grinch! I saw an svg file on this BLOG and thought it would look cute on a glass block.









I better get back to sewing/embroidering :)

More Cricut fun!

When I ran across these black ornaments at Hobby Lobby, I knew I needed them for something :)
These will be a gift for the girl who does my hair. She's into Twilight.

I made the lighted glass block for me! I plan on doing a few more of these. They're addicting.

Stocking with Ruffled Cuff


I made this stocking using the 'Magic' Stocking pattern.

I created the ruffled cuff using strips cut from old tee shirts.
The strips were gathered up and sewn onto the cuff then the cuff was sewn to the stocking.

I cut this vinyl wall quote on my Circut Expression.
It's fairly large 35" h x 42"l.
I used SCAL (Sure Cuts ALot)and Aquarelle font.

This is my first vinyl wall art and I love how it turned out.

I've got plans for 2 more and some smaller crafty vinyl projects.
