play ball!

So FIRST I have to admit a friend of mine Melissa purchased a shirt for her son with this design on it and I just had to go and find it! I was so EXCITED when I found it for sale at Applique Market!

I merged in the Max's name using the Millie Font from Jolson's Designs and I just LOVE how it turned out!! Super cute!

a few things for Emery...

Most of these were done a while back and I am just now getting around to posting....

The butterfly design is from Applique Cafe. The shirt and shorts are from Walmart. I purchased a bigger size to cut up for the applique. I just LOVE me some matchy matchy!! LOL

Another little shirt and short outfit from Walmart. I just threw on a little cherry applique from Applique Cafe and wala it turns a dull outfit to super cute!
This scallop patch is also from Applique Cafe. I merged in my daughter's monogram using the Strawberry Font from 8 Paws and a Claw. I got the skirt from Target a while back to make something for 4th of July but I never got around to it :( So I thought I would make this little onesie to go with it for the beach. Emery looked so cute in it! Love me some navy and green!


Just some bloomers with the "E" from the Sunny Font!
I got this dress from Remember Nguyen a while back for 11 or 12 bucks and recently put her monogram on it using the Monogram 1 Font from 8 Paws and a Claw.


I actually bought this off of a friend of mine a while back (she was getting ready for consignment) and monogrammed the "E" on there using the Sunny Font (if you can't tell that is one of my favorite "E" monogram for my daughter).

Another dress I got at Remember Nguyen a while back for like 12 bucks. Monogrammed the "E" using the Happy Holidays Font from 8 Paws and a Claw.

for a friend...

A friend of mine brought me three pairs of shorts for me to make shirts to go with. She told me what designs she wanted and told me to make them cute! I was so nervous because I went out on the search for fabric to match but couldn't find anything. So I just had to coordinate fabrics which made me extremely nervous but I think they all turned out pretty cute! The first design is a bird from GG Designs which is one of my favorites and I merged in Presley's name using the Grins and Giggles font from Applique Frenzy.

The next design is a scallop patch that I have no idea where I got it from and I merged in the P using the Sunny font (or Dollhouse) from Itch to Stitch.
And lastly the little teapot design from Applique Cafe. I merged in the P using the Curlz font from 8 Claws and a Paw.

I was so excited when I gave them to my friend and she LOVED them all! Like I said I was extremely nervous since they aren't all matchy matchy. LOL
