2011 has been a very good year so far. I have several new customers of which I am so proud to have. This business allows me to be at home with my family and to also pick up a little extra play money so I appreciate ALL of you so much. I am always looking for new things to try so if you have any ideas I would love to hear them:) Here a just a few things that I've done recently.
My most favorite thing to do are appliques. I've seen them referred to being "grown up coloring pages" and I LOVE THAT. It is so much fun to take a blank item and with some really cute fabric combinations make a design. Well I've added several applique fonts to my library and they make great name or initial items. They can be put on anything! Clothing, bibs, burps, bags, towels, etc. etc. etc. Below are just a few examples but aren't they just CUTE< CUTE< CUTE!!!
I found these really cute designs that are called "in the hoop" designs. They are completely made in my hoop. One is a cute cupcake that can be made with or without the candle and it has "rouching" for the icing which is gathered fabric or ribbon. REALLY CUTE!!!!! And the next is a quilted key chain. It includes the Monogram. The cupcake design is 20.00 or 25.00 with the monogram and they key chain is 10.00. I love 10.00 designs cause they are great little happies for someone special.
These are called badge reels and are a cute way to dress up your badge - great for nurses or anyone who has to wear a name badge. A new way to use them is to also attach one to your key ring and just slip it over the side of your purse. Then you never have to DIG for your keys again - (Thanks Pauline for this tip).
