Custom bows

This bow was definately customized to match an outfit Ciara received for Easter...I know, I should post it with the outfit, but I didn't think about it when I took the picture and I'm not going in her room and taking the chance of waking her up just yet!

The dresss is the same pink as the center and the collar has the bright colors in it. This hairbow is definately cuter when you see it in person!!

I can make it bigger or smaller, but I think this one measures nearly 4" across. I can also do this in other colors!
Hairbow $5

Go Boilers!

This is one of the hardest designs I've done, but now that I have it figured out, it's not so bad! The train was in reds, blues & greens, but I changed it up to fit my needs! Keep in mind...just because you see a design in certain colors doesn't mean that's how it has to be!

Things for boys!

Yes, I know, it seems like everything I post is for Girls! I guess that's what happens when you, your sister and most of your friends have girls! I have lots of designs for boys too!

I've told you to be creative! My hairdresser wanted something for a family member's baby. Dad is a US Marine, so this is what I came up with...

Don't miss out!

Be sure to keep scrolling down! I've posted 5 different posts on here this morning! That's what happens when Matt wakes up coughing at 4am and at 5am you've seen the clock probably 10 times! Back to the laundry...then I'm going to work on cleaning up the basement a bit before going garage saling!

Design Websites

Some of you have asked what kind of designs I can do. To make a long answer short...if you have an idea what you want, let me know what it is and we'll work with it.

I have a lot of designs and there are tons of them on the internet that I can buy or download for free. The following are a few of my favorite sites so far...

**http://www.bunnycup.com/ (mostly kids stuff) - I have Pudgy Farm, Nursery Rhymes, Barnyard Redwork, "Free Retired Sets" & "Free Downloads".
**http://www.embroiderydesigns.com/ (everyone) - go to the top and click "Free Embroidery Designs" and search to your hearts desire!
**http://www.embroiderthis.com/ (everyone) - go to the left and click "FREE Machine Embroidery Designs".
**http://www.needlework.ru/ (Disney) - Check out the free Disney designs in the left-hand column. I have not tried any of these yet, but they are cute!

Here are a few guidelines:
*Remember, I do embroidery, not applique.
*I don't like the way cross-stitch designs turn out, so I would prefer not to do them.
*Just because a design is in certain colors, doesn't mean I have to do it in those colors.
*I can personalize any design in most any font.
*Use your imagination, but be open-minded!

I will post more pictures soon! I have lots of projects in the works! ....bibs, bath towels for graduation & wedding presents; dish towels for wedding presents, Mother's Day, etc.
