I love my job!

A couple of weeks ago, a guy came wandering into my store and wanted a cake for his wife.
In my business you tend to feel out that guys general don't care about what cakes look like. They're just food.

After many questions (what's her favorite color, what does she like...).
I got out of him that she likes sewing.

So, I got to draw a sewing machine on a cake! Two of my most favorite things together!

The only color that I could get out of him was red. He said to do it all in red.
Ooook, whatever.

Finally I can post this!

Owls!!
I had to wait to post this because I didn't want to risk the Bride to be (now bride) to find this and see.


I made her a cute apron with whimsical owls on it and I wanted to embroider something that matched.


I attached a little handle on it so it can hang easily.
I hope she loves it!

Simple drawstring bag for my new camera

This is just a very simple drawstring bag that I made for my new camera.
It took me about 5 minutes to whip up.


I wanted to keep it covered so it doesn't get dusty, and a little protection for the screen.
Haven't decided if we will buy a nice bag for it or not. So this is it's home for now...

Magnetic Recipe Card Holder

This little cutey is hand sewn and made of felt!
He was born out of my frustration in finding the perfect chocolate chip cookie recipe.
He has a pocket to keep recipe card in him, and also has a magnet on his back so he can hang out on the frig, which is conveniently next to my oven.

I am currently in the process of making more to sell in my shop. I bought some lighter colored felt to give it the right color of a cookie (This little guy looks a bit burnt).
He was extremely easy and fun to make.

Summer Solstice

I would like to wish everyone a warm and happy Summer Solstice. Although it's storming here, it's still a beautiful day!





Stitched on a tea towel. I love this victorian-ish style.



I made this for my sister-in-law for her engagement party. She loved it!
I used the pattern from Urban Treads

Birthday gift of my mom!

I picked up this cute vintage style design from Aunt Martha's iron-on transfers.
I turned out great! My mom loved it.


I'm still working on to improve my satin stitch. It didn't turn out as bad as I thought.
I posted the link to Aunt Martha's on my links spot. There are nice and simple and have a great nostalgic feel.

I love gnomes in a major way!

Gnomes kick ass! I love them, not only for the yard, but I'm a gamer (pencil and paper), and love to play them in D&D.
When I saw this giveaway from Calamity Kim, I squeeeed!



I LOVE LOVE LOVE this apron! It's soooo cute!

Ok, sorry I'm done now... :)
