A Pretty Felt Playhouse -Part 2

Finished! And with a little time to spare. We decided to just button down the sides instead of sewing them. It will make removing it from the table and folding it up for storage a little easier. Kate got to see it during the final fitting since she is doesn't talk much and is too young to remember...

Re: How to combine individual fonts to form a name

I did the exact same thing 10+ years ago as a newbie. Congrats on that machine, it is a great machine and will be a work horse for you for a long time. (As a side note, embroiderers tend to keep their embroidery machines rather than trade or sell them.) I traded mine and eventually bought a new one because...

Going Green - Recycle a T-shirt

A couple of weeks ago, when we were out and about, my oldest granddaughter saw some college girls sporting wide, stretchy headbands with their monograms embroidered on them. Of course, since she thinks that anything the teens do is "way cool" she immediately asked if we could make them. I,...

Gotta Love a Baked Potato

For several years I have seen and heard about bags made to bake potatoes in the microwave. They are touted to produce fluffy, moist baked potatoes. So when I had all the cotton stuff out to make the tortilla warmer I decided to make one and see. Hey, what do you know, it works pretty well. It was the...

What's a Tortilla Warmer?

Sometime ago, I saw an advertisement for tortilla warmers and loved the idea. They looked fun and useful but the cost was $8.00 - $12.00 each, depending on the size, plus shipping. "What a great way to use up scraps!" I thought. So, I tore out the ad and saved it. I came across it the other...

A Quick Gift for Father's Day

At our house we always seem to be slightly behind and end up cramming to get our father's day gifts done the night before that special day. Sometimes they don't go as planned and we spend a frustrating time figuring out what to do. This year we decided to change this (maybe the rain, rain and...

No More Excuses!

I am so delighted to say that I belong to a group of enthusiastic embroiderers who meet once every month to laugh, share and learn from each other. According to Oprah (and Goldie Hawn who was her guest that day), if you attend and participate in a monthly club/group with a common interest, your over...

Keeping It Simple - Owls Are In

I know that I have told you about all the babies that are on their way. And their mother's are now doing the decorating. Many of our daughter's friends have seen her baby's room and when she asked them what they would like as a shower gift several requested the framed names. You can see the...
