Beauty in Bloom

Going crazy over.....

I found my next embroidery project. More owls! You will be seeing these babies on bedding and clothing and maybe a burp cloth or two. Too cute!

I found this stuff the other day. Its called happy tape. Check it out!

 

This project was found on a blog I just started reading. I plan on making this for my home, but customized to go with my decor. Find it here & here.

  

I love her jewelry! So beautiful! Check it out here.

Just a few things that are pretty to look at. Enjoy! 

 

Fun with fruit

Today at Project Motherhood(a mom's group I belong to) we made onsies for Arms of Love(our local pregnancy resource center). They turned out great so I thought I would share pictures of the one that I made for my little one.

We bought apples, pears and oranges to stamp the onsies with. First, cut the fruit in half and blot dry. If you use oranges cut them in quarters.  Use a paint brush to apply the paint to the fruit. We used fabric paint, but acrylic paint will also work. I took an orange slice and painted it a pinky-red to get a watermelon.  Let them dry for 72 hours before washing. Next, I will be stamping some white bibs for the baby and t-shirts for my older girls. This project was simple, cheap and easy. You could also get your kids involved!

My new hobby

 

I received my new fabric that I designed from Spoonflower.com yesterday.  Isn't it just precious?  I can't even tell you how bummed that I am that I just found this website 2 weeks ago.  Designing fabric is my new hobby. Maybe now I will finally learn how to really use my Photoshop program for more than just cropping.  I am not sure what I am going to use it for yet because I am still learning to sew, but I can't wait until I can put it to good use.
