Not much crafting going on this past week...I was on a clean out mission! Since we moved into this house, a year ago, I feel the need to clean out. I guess it is the size...we down sized...considerably. Anyhow...I did manage a project or two and I want to show you...Take a peek...
I made this card for a girlfriend's daughter. I knew I had to use this image as soon as I saw it...she has a cranky little Chihuahua. I even colored this one to look like hers!
Here's the Details:
Image & Sentiment: Meljen's Designs; I colored with pencils and added Crystal Effects to eyes, nose and peppers. I also added some Stickles...gotta have glitter!
Extras: papers are from my scrap basket, ribbons were all from a swap.
Adorable!
I also want to show you my latest machine embroidery project...
I made these two towels as a treat to go with the card. Brigitte, my girlfriend's daughter likes to bake...cupcakes especially. I thought these designs were perfect for her and her new apartment kitchen. I am really liking this embroidery machine...I have a list of projects I want to do. Best thing, I can color or craft while it is running...just have to change the thread now and then. Multi tasking at it's craftiest!
Hope your week is off to a wonderful start! Enjoy!

Finally getting to use that wonderful embroidery machine my DH gave me for Christmas. His one request for his birthday, " personalized golf towels". So...that sounds easy, right? Ha! Well, the first one was a breeze. Simple monogram, no color changes. Then I began the red one...9 color changes, add initials to original design...still should be pretty easy. Well, 4 hours later it is done. Yes, I said 4 hours. It was one of those, anything that can go wrong will go wrong! Broken needle, knotted thread, thread stuck in needle housing, bobbin out of thread, towel stuck in bobbin housing...you name, it happened. It did turn out great though ;) I look at it this way, I am now prepared for anything...it was a great learning experience.
Oh...he loved them...made it all worth it.
Enjoy your day!
