shepherd ornaments

I was invited to a ornament swap called A Meaningful Christmas by my friend Melody. Basically you get 24 people together and you each make 24 of the same ornaments to go along with the devotion of the day starting Dec. 1 and ends Dec. 24th and then you swap ornaments so you go home with 24 different ornaments to use daily until Christmas!

Such a neat idea really. I am not sure why but I got the bright idea to applique all of my shepherds (my topic was The Good Shepherd). Let's just say it took me quite a bit of time to make 24 of them but they turned out so cute!

I made 4 of each ornament so that I didn't have to make too many exactly the same :)

I love how they turned out and especially how you can see that you can do an applique numerous different ways to get different looks!

a lil birdie

A cute a very simple outfit for my lil girl!!!

I actually scored these pants from a friend that was consigning her girls clothes! I love them!! Must find out where she got them from!! They are so soft and comfy feeling. And of course they look adorable on my lil girl!!
The lil birdie is from GG Designs. One of my all time favorite designs. I used the chain stitch and love how it turned out. The design actually comes with 4 different stitch options!! So many options to give it different looks!! Love it!!

football time!

A while back I made some football shirts for my son and I am finally getting around to posting pictures of them. First up is a Tiger Truck Applique from Applique Market. I merged in the M using the Millie font from Jolson's Designs. Just perfect for some Memphis Tiger Football games!!

This adorable design is from Applique Cafe. Love the raggy grass on the bottom of the goal!!
And lastly...sorry the picture is slightly blurry. This design is from Applique Market. It comes with the footballs single or together for a monogram. I merged in the M using the Jolson's font from Jolsons Designs.

Just some simple and cute shirts for the fall!

Made the kids turkey shirts this week!!! And let me tell you the first one was NOT my favorite shirt to make!! I can honestly say I will not be making these babies for other people!! LOL

A BIG thanks to my friend Jessica from www.lovefortexas.com for coming up with this idea!! She is so creative!! She sent me a tutorial and everything!! Even with a tutorial it still took be like 2 hrs from start to finish. I merged in the name using the Waiting font. Not sure where it is from but I think it is similar to the Love letters font that is out there. I LOVE LOVE LOVE this shirt and how it turned out just glad I don't have to make another one ;)
And lastly Max's turkey shirt. This applique design is from Applique Chick! It is such a cute funky little turkey! Max actually picked it out of all my turkey designs and he told me he DID NOT want his name on it! LOL He is just getting too big!!!

pumpkin patch outfits!

I totally forgot to take pictures prior to the pumpkin patch!! BOO!! Oh well most things look cuter on anyways!! LOL

Emery's pumpkin and Max's is actually the scallop pumpkin from Applique Market. I just deleted the scallop patch behind it! I love how it looks!! Emery's font is the Grins and Giggles from Applique Frenzy and Max's font is ugh...I have no idea!! I have so many fonts and this is not one I typically use. I will try and figure it out and let you know asap!
I did make Emery's pants this time around! I think I actually tweaked the pattern "Britches and Bloomers" enough to make them almost a perfect fit!! This being my first pair...they are not the greatest...especially if you look real close but they served there purpose and still looked cute :)

a few things for Emery!

With fall hitting us fast I needed to get to work on some things for Emery!! I found these adorable pants at a consignment sale new for $12!! Anyways, I figured I could make some cute shirts to go with them. First up is just a simple monogram using the Sunny font which I use ALL the time!! One of my favorite fonts!!

Next up a play outfit. I used the applique font Tiny from Embroidery Boutique. This was the raggy option!
Got the shirt last year at Walmart on clearance for 2 bucks and the little leggings on clearance at Target for 1.50!! So made it a cute little outfit for under 5 bucks!!

These are the other pair of ruffle pants I got at a consignment sale new for $12!! Made another simple monogram shirt using the Embroidery Font 2 from 8 Claws and a Paw.

I got the cute little lettuce edges shirt from Walmart this year!! They cost $3.88. They run a little small just for your info :)

baby gifts!

Made a couple of baby gifts for friends from church!

The football applique is from Applique Alley. I used the zigzag option and then I merged in the name summit using the Millie font from Jolson's Designs!
This cute little train applique is from Applique Cafe and I merged in the name using the Millie font from Jolson's Designs! So sweet! I love some baby gowns!!
