Kindergarten Rocks

2011-07-31T09:35:00.000-05:00

I thought this would be a fun shirt for a little girl I know that's heading off to Kindergarten this year.

The design is from Embroidery-Boutique. The t-shirt is from Target.

Wedding Shower Idea

2011-07-30T09:25:00.001-05:00

One of my good friends is getting married and today is her bridal shower. I wanted something fun, not the usual bridal stuff. What's more fun than a picnic basket. I found all the makings for my gift at Target and then added the message on the basket.

Back for Business

2011-07-16T20:20:00.002-05:00

Okay, so I REALLY neglected this blog. I'm going to try to be much better at posting. I'm hoping to give ideas and inspiration for machine embroidery.

So I'm always scouting out things that I can add embroidery too. I went to Target the other in day in search of something for the family and ran across picnic blankets. My 7 year old was with me and insisted that we couldn't live without a picnic blanket. If you are thinking of a gift for some, add a witty saying to a picnic blanket.

Ladies Night Out Events

2010-05-06T21:52:00.005-05:00

I have found a fun way to sell my embroidery items with a larger audience. Many of the banks in Kansas City sponsor Ladies Night Out events.

This little bear is my absolute favorite. She went home with some minutes after taking her out of the box I carried her in in.

Zippered Bags

What a great way to get your name out there. I was also able to hand out my business card and give ideas of personalized graduation gifts.

I'm Back

2010-05-04T20:09:00.001-05:00

I'm sorry this blog has been so neglected. I will definitely be back this week to begin sharing what I've been up to.

Take Care!

Custom Quilt Princess Style

2009-10-24T12:16:00.002-05:00

I was asked by a customer/friend to make a quilt for a little princess in honor of her 1st birthday. This quilt is definitely girly and lives up to its princess potential. I added some embroidery on the 4 corners of the quilt. The princess' name and 1st birthday were also added before the quilt was quilted.

If you have a need for a custom quilt for a special occasion, don't hesitate to contact me.

Ladies Night Out

2009-10-09T07:14:00.002-05:00

Last night I participated at a Ladies Night Out event sponsored by Bank of Blue Valley. There was a great turn out. It was wonderful to visit with everyone that showed up.

Just a few pictures of my booth:

Birthday Presents

2009-09-06T11:01:00.004-05:00

Personalized birthday presents are the greatest thing to give (in my mind anyway). A little girl we know was having a birthday party. I whipped a quick bag, that was filled with makeup, because that's what all little girls want. The E is an applique so the fabric can be changed to accommodate anyone's needs.

There was a very cool shirt to accompany the bag. I think the shirt says it all, since this little girl if definitely a princess.

Boy Scout Attire

2009-08-26T20:28:00.005-05:00

I was recently asked to embroider troop and town information on Boy Scout neckties. Not being a boy or having boys, I didn't really give any thought to the idea that Boy Scouts really might need embroidery. Well I'm here to tell you they do. Be sure to contact me if you have a need.

This is the tie provided by my customer.

Tie after I worked my magic.

New Beginning

2009-08-12T20:25:00.004-05:00

Today is the first post to this blog. My intention is to show items I create or customize for others. I not sure that I will be able to post daily, but I will certainly post once a week.

So let's get started.

Personalization is a great thing. I love creating gifts for people that have their loved ones name on it. I got a call and was asked if I could personalize a suitcase/duffle bag that is going to college with a freshman. My answer, certainly I can. After meeting with my customer we decided on the font style and color of thread. So off to the machine I went. Here is a picture of the finished project with the newly embroidered name. Hopefully no one will walk off with Breanna's new bag when she leaves for Missouri State.
