Fun Kitchen Towel for Wine Lovers

I made several things for my Mom for Christmas and I forgot to take pictures! I did snap one of this kitchen towel after she opened it. I wish I had taken one of the presentation. It was folded and wrapped around a bottle of wine with ribbon.
The towel is one of my thick ones from Williams Sonoma, the best I have found. Luckily, Mom bought me 6 more for Christmas! The embroidery is from Urban Threads. It stitched perfectly.
Happy 2015!!
I hope to do more posting in 2015. I have done plenty of sewing, I just need to take some pictures and get them posted!

The Stockings Were Hung...


Merry Christmas 2014! We had a wonderful Christmas Eve and Day. This is my family room, all ready to go last night. I finished embroidering 7 stocking cuffs, which I will share in detail soon. We had a lovely church service, lots of good food, and thoughtful gifts! Tomorrow we will do it all again when we spend Boxing Day with my parents. Then we will relax for the rest of vacation!! Hope you all had a great Christmas with many blessings, too!!

Snowman Cousin Outfits!

I had so much fun making these "cousin" outfits for my Andy and my god-daughter Ella. This was a gift for her second birthday this weekend and I like to make something with a winter theme so she can wear it past Christmas.
Ella's jumper is Children's Corner Lucy, size 2. It is a very soft featherwale corduroy, purchased from fabric.com. The shirt was purchased at Walmart. The trim is a tiny red ball fringe.


Her leggings are from Gymboree, size 3. They have snowmen on them and the corduroy I had just happened to match perfectly!

Her hairbow has the snowman feltie I digitized in the center. If you want to get the design for free, check my last post!




Andy's outfit has the same snowman applique, from Planet Applique. I stitched it on the corduroy and sewed the patch to a white t-shirt. The pants are Peek a Boo Patterns Castaway Cargos, both are size 6. I forgot to take a picture, but the pants have a soft knit waistband, which Andy loves for comfortable wear. I love it for easy trips to the potty! This pattern is my favorite pants pattern ever- you can whip up the plain version (no pockets) in half an hour!!

I think these outfits turned out SEW CUTE!! I hope the kids can wear them together during Christmas vacation so I can get some pictures.

Back to working on stocking cuffs. I have finished 4 of 7 so far!
