Wedding decor, birthday gifts, and USA Rugby

My niece is getting married in a few months, and I've been helping her with some of her wedding decor and gifts.  Here are the bridal hangers that I made for her.  These are done with wooden hangers and gold vinyl. These were so much fun to make, and really easy. 

I've seen these on pinterest and on etsy.  And after figuring out what colors she wanted, I cut the vinyl out, placed them on the hangers, then sealed it with mod podge. 

 She also wanted a couple of signs made, here are two that I did so far.  I still have 2 more to make.  I bought the top wood sign from Michael's, then decorated it with vinyl.

 

 The above sign I got in the $1 section at Target, but it was $3.  LOL  Then decorated that with vinyl.

 

 She also wanted a little banner for her card box, so i created this from white burlap using the banner file from Big Dreams Embroidery.

 Since I had my Silhouette out, I decided to make some labels for my canisters.  Normally there's not a problem, until you need to figure out which one is flour and which one is bread flour.  LOL.

 Then I whipped out some coffee cup tags with my Sizzix and Tim Holtz's Fresh Brew Bigz die. 
These were really fun to make!  I love being able to make them the colors I need for gifts.  I think I might need to package some up to give as gifts.

Then I made a sign for my niece Kat.  She LOVES to read, and I thought this would be a cute sign for her to have around while she's reading.  Plus she sent the saying to my nephew as a meme, so I knew it would be perfect!!

 

 Next project I did was for my step-son, he wanted the USA Rugby logo for his megaphone.  So I made him some logos.  It was my second time to use multi-colors in a decal.

 This is him at the USA Sevens tournament last weekend.  LOL  And those are the decals on the megaphone.  Glad he's got the USA spirit in him!!

Fabric projects

Happy March! It has been a few months since I've posted, sorry that it's been so long.  And it's not like I have had a ton of stuff to do since I'm not working at the moment.  But I've just been forgetting to update some of the projects I've been working on, and it's been a lot.   First up are the fabric projects I've been doing the past few months. 

 One of our friends had a baby, and I had this baby blanket that I needed to embroider something on and to give as a gift, so I decided to embroider it for them. I appliqued the letter "B" on the blanket, then used my embroidery software to type in his name. Easy peasy.  Then I remembered I had some bibs, so I embroidered some monster faces on it with embroidery designs from Urban Threads the Monster Factory design pack.  I've had this set for awhile, and it was the first time I've used them.  I think I need to make more of these!  Maybe on some shirts or a blanket.  LOL

 Next up are some hearts that I made for a swap I'm in this month.  I usually only make the minimum amount of anything, but these were so fun that I made 2 sets!  I think I need to make some for myself! And definitely for my sister to sell for her charity.

 I also started using my silhouette to cut freezer paper stencils to use to paint on fabric.  My daughter-in-law asked me to help her make some destination pillows.  I had no idea what that was till she started sending me photos.  LOL  She wanted one that said "Portland" for their Air BNB room. I sent her the pillow case and the sample.  So she put the sample in a frame, and took a photo of the pillow on the bed.  Very cool!  Makes me want to do more painting!
