Easter outfit

I thought I would share with you the cute outfit I put together for my sweet princess. I found the idea on an embroidery's website in their gallery and fell in love with it.

I embroided the Rag Bunny design from Five Star Fonts on a pink with white polka dot onesie that I found at Walmart. I purchased the brown and pink petti skirt from halo heaven.

I love how it turned out and can't wait for her to wear it.

here is a close up of the cute bunny.

Monthly baby onesies and binky holders

I have started working on a few projects that I thought I would share with you. The first one is a monthly baby onesie
I am sure you have seen them floating around all over the internet and pinterest if not here is a picture of what I am talking about.

These ones are from Wee bit trendy. They make a great gift for a new baby. Each of these circles are stickers and there are many different designs you can buy.

I however thought it would be fun to embroider them. So I started with this Candy Dots frame from Lynnie Pinnie and here is what I came up with at least for the first month. I am still working on months 2-12
Since I am not using them as a baby gift and they are just for my baby I decided to cheat and embroider the frame and cut it out and then using a glue stick just stick it on the onesie since I am just using them for pictures and she will not be wearing it all day long. Also then I don't have to buy so many onesies.

As I finish the other months I will be sure and post them.

The second project is a binky holder. I have sticthed out two different ones. Both of them are from embproject.com the first one is the 4x4 Diamond strap
It is all done in the hoop and is a quick easy stitch out, The design comes with different style font, I chose the script font. It has a diamond quilting pattern that it stitches out.

The second one is the Quilted binky holder 5x7
This one is a quick stitch out as well, and has a stippling pattern. Also it has different wording like girl, boy, etc. I wanted it to say a name so I skipped over the step where it stitches out the wording and added my own.

This one seems to be a little big in my opinion but maybe would work for an older baby I will let you know as she gets older, but for now I do not care for this one I do think however that it would be cute to hang on a bag or diaper bag as a bag tag and leave off the clip.

For both designs the way that it is finished in the hoop so that you can turn it right sides out is not my favorite choice as it leaves a little pocket like thing in the back. I will have to take a picture of the back so you can see what I am talking about.

M.I.A

You may have noticed that I have not been around lately. Well I have a good reason behind that, not only have I been busy but we just welcomed a new little princess into our family.
I can't believe she is a week old already. I am getting accustomed to having 6 kids and keeping up on everything I have to do.

I have many projects planned and some done to share, but I have no computer which means I have no photos and no embroidery (have to get the designs off my computer and put on the machine)right now. I am hoping to get it back in the next week.

Check back soon and hopefully I will have lots of cute fun things for you to see.

Thank you cards and March Card swap.

After all the baby gifts and meals I received I was in need of thank you cards to give so I went to my stash of cards that I have been getting from my monthly card swap and found that I only had 5 thank you cards so I had to make my own.
Here is what I came up with. I think they turned out really cute. Now my only problem is, is that we are doing thank you cards in one of the up coming months so now I have to come up with a new idea dang it.

I also have card swap coming up so I finished putting together my cards. I have had them cut out and mostly assembled since November, but I had to add the finishing touches I guess you could say.
Our theme for this month is actually friendship, but I made these before we had decided on the monthly themes.I assumed it would be Easter because that is what it was last year, but I guess I was wrong. Too bad they are all getting them anyway because I did not want to make new cards.

 I think they turned out pretty cute.
