10 days till christmas!

Christmas time is here!!! I can almost say that I am done with sewing this year but there are a few more items on my list to do! Here are some things I have made so far!

Cute little doggie design from Applique Cafe!

Fun little snowmen!!!
The top design can be found at Embroidery Boutique and the bottom one at Lynnie Pinnie!

I merged the names over these Candy Canes (you can find this design at Embroidery Boutique) and thought it turned out pretty cute! Can't wait to see a picture of the girls in their shirts!

A sweet little shirt for a sweet little boy!
I made this shirt for my friend's little boy Andrew!
He loved it! You can find this design at Planet Applique!

A last minute shirt made for Max's Winter Wonderland at school last week! He is saying "cheese"! LOL This design can be found at Embroidery Boutique!

Since things have been a little crazy around here I haven't had much time to do things like I would have liked. I am so thankful that this zigzag cross from Embroidery Boutique is quick and easy! I made a few of these for Max's teacher's gifts and they LOVED them!!

Gotta have a 1st Christmas bib for Miss Emery!! You can find this precious design at Planet Applique!

And lastly....the kids Christmas outfits!!!!

I am in LOVE with Emery's little ruffle pants! This was my first attempt at girls pants and I just can't get over how stinkin cute they are!! I had a lot of FUN making them!! Can't wait to see how they look on her today!!! Hope to post a few pics of the kids in their outfits soon!

And now Max's outfit!

This cute design can be found at Applique Frenzy. The patch is separate from the reindeer so you have to purchase 2 different designs but I got them both on sale for $1.50 each so not a bad deal! Plus you can use the cute patch for other things!!!

I have so many more cute Christmas ideas floating around in my head....if I only had a little more time....I am def going to start earlier next year!!!

sports

I have been trying to make a few things here and there this past week. I got some really cute shirts made for my son Max and his buddy Cooper!! Cooper is loving some golf right now so I thought it was only appropriate to make his a little golf shirt! This cute design is from Applique Cafe and I used the Jolson $3 dollar font Jolson Font to merge his monogram on the ball!! Love how it turned out!

Made this cute soccer ball shirt for both of the boys! This design is from Applique Cafe too! It was simple to make and I love it!!!

And lastly a football one for Max! This cute design is from Applique Alley! You can really do so many different things with this design! I like having a little patch behind the football to make it a little different than ones I have made in the past! Too cute!!

Now....on to some Christmas stuff!! Hope to post again this week with lots of cute Christmas stuff for my kiddos!!

name shirt

Made this cute name shirt for Max last night. It took all of about 30min to make! I love when they are quick and easy....especially right now as my life is a little hectic!

This cute applique font is the Cade font from Embroidery Boutique! This was my first time using it and I LOVE IT! I actually used the zig zag stitch but there are other stitches to choose from!

I tried to get my little model to smile but this was the best I could do....it was early this morning when I tried to get a pic....he is NOT a morning person...LOL

turkey time!

I finally got around to making Max and Emery's Turkey shirts!!

I love how they turned out! This turkey design is from Applique Cafe! Simple and cute!!

And thanks to my friend Candice for letting me merge some names in her Monogram Wizard! I just love this Tipsy font!

I also made Miss Emery a Turkey day bib!! This design is from Planet Applique. It took a little while to make but was still pretty simple!

Made this turkey shirt for a friend of mine son over a month ago! I thought it turned out cute too! I love it on the green shirt!

I really can't believe that Thanksgiving is only 2 weeks away! This year is really going TOO FAST!!!

halloween costumes!

I had a lot of FUN making the kids Halloween costumes this year! Little Miss Emery was a cheerleader (to cheer her brother on of course!) and Max was a basketball player (since he is slightly obsessed with basketball!)

I made her tutu from a tutorial I found on YouTube and then altered it to make it the size and length I needed for a baby. It was super easy and very quick to make! I know I will be making more in the near future!! It was also very CHEAP to make!!

This cute megaphone design is from Applique Cafe! I love the raggy pom-poms! I added the Go Tigers using my merging software Sew What Pro!

Here is Max's Bball outfit! I got the sweatsuit at Target for $14 bucks! It had a car design on the front that I covered up with the basketball! I think the whole outfit turned out so cute and the great thing is he can keep wearing it!

The basketball design is from Planet Applique. Again I used my merging software to add the 2 and Max to the basketball.

If you notice Max's treat basket I took a basketball and cut the top off of it! I then put tiny holes in the side and put some ribbon through it and wala he had a basketball treat basket! I think we had more compliments on the basketball then anything else! I got the basketball at Walmart for $4 bucks!

Our precious little models! It isn't very easy getting a picture of a 2 year old and a 2 month old! Ha! These are the best I can do!

Hope everyone had a Happy Halloween!

the itsy bitsy spider

Here are a few spider shirts I made for this Halloween season!

This design is from Planet Applique except I deleted one of the spiders and added a name in its place! Got to LOVE Sew What Pro! You can really do all kinds of things with this software! I think it turned out sooo cute!!

These spiders are from Applique Cafe! I love how simple and easy they are!

Close ups of the spiders! I added a little bow to Emery's spider so it would be a little more girly!

I had some cute pictures of the kids in their spider shirts together but I LOST my camera at Priddy Farms Saturday so I will not be able to post any pictures I took from there! So sad! Wish I could get those pictures somehow....

pumpkins and ghosts!

Here are Max and Emery's pumpkin patch outfits!! I just LOVE how they turned out! I haven't tried the dress on Emery yet...only because I am scared it won't fit! I used a 0-3month dress in her closet and made a pattern from it! I could not find an a-line pattern out there anywhere so I just made my own! Let's hope it fits!!! LOL

My friend Heather emailed me and asked me to make something cute for her son and her nephew! I love it when others tell you to do whatever you want! So I came up with these little ghosts shirts! I thought they turned out super cute as well! Simple and Cute! Love it!

It's Been a While!

Well, I am slowly getting back into the sewing world!
Our newest model, Emery was born August 27th at 5:55pm weighing 7lbs 5oz and 19in!

Big Brother Max was so excited!

Life with a 2 yr old and a newborn has been a BIG adjustment but we are loving every minute of it! I have to say we are truly blessed! God is so good!

Emery will be 6 weeks old on Friday! I can't believe how fast the time is going! We are slowly but surely getting adjusted so I thought it was time to start sewing again! It just makes me feel so good that I can make fun creative things for my kids and of course for others! With that being said I am not ready to take on alot of orders from friends just yet...maybe after the holidays I will be back in full swing!

and a few more things for miss emery!

So, I have been able to make a few more things for Emery! This little blanket I got from Babytime for like 12 dollars!! There is NO way I could have made this blanket for that price! So soft and sweet! Thought it just had to have her name on it!

A few more burp cloths! I now have 5 for her but would like to make a few more! I am pretty sure you can't have enough of these things!!! Used the heat and bond on the ribbon this time and it turned out so much better!

Here are a few little newborn onesies I picked up at Walmart for $2 bucks a piece! Added a little name or initial and wala you have a super cute little onesie!

Now...to get started on some fall things for both my kids!!! I think that is going to have to wait until after Miss Emery gets here and we all get adjusted! Only 6 more days until baby girl arrives....well, that is unless she decides to come earlier!

big brother and lil sister outfits!

Here are Max and Emery's outfits for the hospital! I finally got enough energy to get upstairs and sew Max some shorts to match the t-shirt I appliqued! I think they turned out pretty cute!

Close up of big brother applique!

Close up of lil sister applique!

I love these plaid fabrics! I am sure I will make Max and Emery another coordinating outfit in these cute fabrics next summer! Oh the plans I have for matching brother and sister outfits...
