happy valentine's

Got Emery and Max's Valentine shirts made with a few weeks to spare! Go me!!

On Emery's I used the raggy heart applique from Applique Cafe and merged in lil sweetheart using the Grin and Giggles font from Applique Frenzy. Simple and cute!! Gotta love it!
On Max's I actually put the boxing applique from Applique Creations on his shirt first. Then later got the idea that I could add lil knockout and it could be his Valentine's shirt/everyday too! I merged in the wording using the Tipsy font from Applique Frenzy. If you look close it is not too centered to the design but it still looks decent enough to wear. Wish I would have thought to add the wording in the beginning. Oh well...Max loves it of course since he is really into boxing these days too...and that is all that really matters ;)

girl stuff

Made a few more things for Emery for the cooler weather...

I picked up these pants at JcPenny's on clearance a while back and picked up an extra pair to use for the applique.

I used the anchor applique from Applique Cafe and merged in her name using the Love Font from Jolson's designs! I am a DG so I thought my little girl could sport some DG love this winter/spring!!
And just a simple monogram using the Dollhouse (known as Sunny with Monogram wizard) font from The Itch 2 Stitch. I picked up this skirt at Children's Place a while back. Just wanted something cute to go with it!
Now on to Spring and Summer stuff!! Yay!! Come on warmer weather!!!

firetruck birthday!

A dear friend contacted me recently to make a shirt and bib for her nephew's FIRETRUCK birthday!!! I of course said "Yes!"

This little firetruck is from Applique Market. I merged in his name and the number 2 using the Architect font from GG designs.
On the back I put an applique number 2 using the Chunky Applique font from Embroidery Boutique.
The bib I used the same 2 that I used on the back of the shirt and merged his name using the Architect font again. Hope my friend LOVES it like me!! Can't wait to see some pics of the birthday boy in it!!

sports, sports, sports

As many of my friends know, my son is obsessed with basketball!! I have made quite a few basketball shirts for him but I am getting tired of him wearing them day in and day out. So made him one more for the cool weather. Found this cute applique/number combo at Applique Creations. This was my first time buying designs from this website. Have to say they stitch out pretty good!

Another obsession...bowling! I found this cute little applique at Applique Creations too! My son was SUPER excited when I showed him the design. He has been asking for a bowling shirt for some time now. He specifically wanted white pins and a blue bowling ball. LOL
They both turned out pretty good and just nice to have some other shirts for him!

a snow ONEderland birthday outfit!

A little something I put together for a dear friends daughter's first birthday! She brought me the little tutu and told me her color scheme. And she even showed me a few things she was interested in having...however....I couldn't find any of the same designs so I made my own!

I honestly LOVE how it turned out even it was a bit of work. I played around with it for some time. The 1 applique is actually from the Trendy Dot Applique Font from Embroidery Boutique. I deleted the circle that surrounded it first. Then I merged in 2 embroidery snowflakes that my friend Candice sent me (a HUGE thanks to her because I didn't have one). The dots are from the Vintage Chloe font from Embroidery Boutique...they are called embellishments for the font. I actually merged two of the same size and then the third one I increased the size 20 percent.

And lastly I merged in her name using the Giggles and Grins font from Applique Frenzy. I played around with her name and different fonts a lot. I would have liked a more curly one but her name is so long that I didn't have many options with my largest size being a 5x7 on my machine. So basically..it took a little time on the front end because I am just so darn picky and a little bit of a perfectionist but it turned out super cute and I had one HAPPY friend!! Yay!

brother/sister snowmen!

I made the kids a cute little snowmen shirts right before Christmas! I love how they turned out! This adorable applique come from Applique Cafe!

If anyone remembers I used these plaids when I made the big/lil shirts for the kids for the hospital! I loved being able to incorporate them into another applique for them. I used the Giggles and Grins Font from Applique Frenzy to merge together Emery's name. Probably one of my favorite fonts these days!
And used the Tipsy Topsy Font from Applique Frenzy to merge together Max's name!
