Butterfly Shadowbox

I cut the butterflies out with my Circut. Then I ran them through my Cuddlebug to add texture.

Foam dots secure them to the linen paper background. The dots also hold them slightly above the paper adding dimension and shadows.

I really like how this turned out.

I'm going to try and get a better photo without the glare.

Let the Games Begin

I ♥ the Olympics and can't wait for the Winter Games to begin.
I created these 2 Gold Medal designs today.

The free edges of the ribbon add dimension & fun to these machine embroidery designs. These medals look great on onesies & little ones tee shirts.

Carrot Table Runner

This runner sewed up pretty quick. The pattern is from All People Quilt

I slightly changed the way the green leaf piece was made.

Now if Spring would just hurry up and come.

Cupcake Socks

This idea came from the Cricut messageboard.
Roll up a pair of those fuzzy, soft socks and pop them in a cupcake wrapper.
How cute is that??


I cut the wrappers on my Cricut. The one on the left is a free wrapper (svg) from Penny Duncan. It's a plain wrapper. I welded hearts along the top and cut it from double-sided cardstock. I folded the hearts down after I put the socks in.

The wrapper on the left was a free svg file too. I can't remember where I got it from though.

I used a red pompom and a small silk leaf for the 'cherry' on top.

These will make great gifts.

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!

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:)

Is it Spring Yet??

Get ready for Spring with my newest towel idea.
My Bunny Legs Towel machine embroidery design files & instructions are available on my web site HERE

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 :)

SnOw Cute, SnOw Easy, SnOw Fast Snowman Ornaments

These were so quick to make!

I cut the faces on my Cricut.

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.
