Halloween Tree

Exciting news! I've been accepted to a design team with PSA Essentials! They manufacture peel & stick rubber stamps in all themes and patterns. I will be posting all of the designs that I create using these stamps so get ready!

First project was for Halloween and I created a Halloween Tree.

Hand Embroidered Cloth Napkins

Luke bought me an interesting new book all about embroidery called Embroidered Effects by Jenny Hart. The designs and techniques are very modern, it's not your grandmothers embroidery!

There are many stitches to learn so I came up with a little project to work on as I learned the stitches. Split stitch is by far my favorite. Check out these napkins I monogrammed with different fonts and colors of the letter "D".

Baby Shower Tea Pouches

A few of us girls planned a baby shower for a great friend, Ashley. I was in charge of making the party favors for this Afternoon Tea themed party. I came up with the idea to sew pouches and put a couple tea bags in each pouch. My sewing skills were rusty in the beginning but my work definitely improved as I made each pouch.

UPDATE: Owsley Anne Gammon was born on September 27, 2010 and is a healthy and beautiful baby. Congrats Gammons!
