I've been back to embroidery this month. A co-worker's daughter is having a Lalaloopsy party for her daughter. So she asked me to embroider a couple of shirts for the party and a banner for her daughter. I found the
Lalaloopsy applique on iStitchEmbroidery's etsy site. She had the hair in lavender, but since they were doing a blue color for the party, I just changed the fabric color and the thread.
The
alphabet banner design is from
Big Dreams Embroidery. I just love her banner designs. For the buttons, I used her
perfectly round banner and her
banner eyelet and ribbon holes for the holes.
I'm also slowly catching up on some projects. We have these really cool
director's chairs from Cabela's. Since a few of us have the chairs, we wanted to put our names on them. Plus when you get up and someone sits in your chair because it's way more comfortable than theirs, you can finally say, "Yes, it has my name on it". LOL. I used an applique font from
Designs by Juju for the letters. I've embroiderted digital camo fabric onto brown canvas. I think the letters turned otu awesome.
Next, my future niece loves to read. And she had posted a book necklace on her facebook page that we all loved. I really wanted a book necklace, and I don't have the time to put teeny tiny little books together, so I did the next best thing, made a necklace using these pendant blanks. Gunslinger is her favorite book, and Throne of Glass is one of mine. I can see a whole library of necklaces coming up for me.
