Monogram Flower Flip Flops

Hibiscus Cricut Projects

I made this set for my son & DIL for their anniversary.
The acrylic tray & stemware and the plastic tub came from WalMart.
The tray & stemware have ombre shading that gives a nice effect to the vinyl when it's applied to the bottom of the items.

I created the circle of hibiscus to fit the bottom of the tray.
You can download my instructions (PDF) and .scut2 files for these projects HERE

New Designs @ Embroidery Garden

I've recently developed some new machine embroidery designs.
These are all available on my web site.

Free Standing Tooth Fairy Magic Key












Uncle Sam Boots Towel





















Monogram Pacifier Clips * In the Hoop

Crocheted Flower Hot Pads

These were so much easier than they look. I made sets using these and the crocheted pot holders I showed in this post

The Flower Hot Pad pattern can be found HERE

Both work up quick and are easy patterns.

Garden Flower Markers

I've been wanting markers for my flower garden for a few years. My husband found these metal stakes for me at a garden center near where he works.

I cut the flower names out of outdoor vinyl with my Cricut . . . and wha-la I've got some great looking flower makers.



I have more to make. Hopefully, in a month or so I can start posting pics of my flower garden in bloom.

New! Lanyards ~ In the Hoop

My new Monogram Lanyards set perfectly matches my Monogram Key Fob set (see post below)



The Lanyards are made completely in the hoop. Even the hardware is attached in the hoop. Use these to hold work/school IDs, scissors, keys, etc.












They stitch up super quick - 3 minute stitch time! and fit any hoop.

You can find them on my site HERE

In the Hoop Monogrammed Key Fobs * New Designs!

My new sturdy Monogrammed Key Fobs are made completely in the hoop.
You do need to add the hardware :)

There are several sizes of Key Fobs included. Each size set include the full set of monograms in the syle shown.

You can view the full set and read the details about it on my site HERE

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.
