Birthday Gift


I made this gift for my mom to give one of her friends. It's a candy dish with her initial, hand sanitizer with her initial, a post-it note holder with intial. There is also a cookie bouquet and I etched her intial onto the "vase" for the cookies.

Jon-jons




One of my best friends has a little boy, so this summer, she and I decided to learn how to make reversible jon-jons. I had already made several jumpers for little girls, but had never made boy outfits.

We headed to Hobby Lobby to pick out material. Using my embroidery machine, I appliqued the football, the crab, the spider and the star. My friend made a crab applique, her little's boy initial applique, a worm applique and his monogrammed initials. I did not get a picture of his outfits, but here is a picture of my outfits. I left the blue and white jon jon blank to add initials later.

Monogrammed Towels

Matching Pillowcase dresses

This is a set of matching "pillowcase" dresses that I created for a friend at church when she had her new baby girl. I used material in my stash for these pictures but followed the pillowcase instructions.

Clipboard, post it notes and etched glass

One of my first uses with the cricut was creating this set for a dear friend for Christmas. Using vinyl, I created the clipboard, post it note holder and hand sanitizer to match (I didn't take a picture of the hand sanitizer bottle). I also etched plates for her that I purchased at Old Time Pottery.
