Cards for Family & Friends

Birthday Cards for my Grandsons, Thomas who was 8 on the 20th May and Matthew will be 15 on the 3rd June. We are going for a visit this weekend with presents and a cake, I am looking foward to seeing them again.  The other two cards are for a very good friend and my Daughter-in- Law. I found this little paper dress pattern here at   MeiJo'sJoy Blog and thought how nice it would be on a card so I just had to make one.
                                                                

                                                                                                              

Finger Puppets for FNSI !!

For FNSI I made finger puppets for my grandchildren and their cousins. They are made from felt and made In the Hoop on my Embroidery Machine. I had been wanting to do this for a while and FNSI was the perfect time for it. I would like to thank Heidi and Bobbi for doing such a great job with FNSI so I am organised to spent my friday night sewing.

Have a Wonderful Day !!!!

Flowers to all  Mothers.  Hope you all have a wonderful day.

Hot Stuff !!!!

My grandson is football mad.  He plays Touch Footy and Rugby League. When he is not playing footy he is watching footy games on T.V...  He is a great little footballer.  I thought that this would be a great design for him.   They were two different designs but I think that they work well together.  He put it on straight away so looks like I had a win with this one.  Boys are soooo hard to make things for.   It would have looked better on a  black T-Shirt, I only had a dark grey.

Lest We Forget

I would like to share with you all a photo of my father who served in World War II on this ANZAC Day, 25th April 2012.   He passed away five years ago at the age of 84 years.  We miss him a lot  and are vey proud of him. 

LEST WE FORGET

Pillowcases for FNSI

FNSI was very special this month as it was for an organization called Conkerr Cancer  - Giving sick kids a reason to smile one pillowcase at a time -.   I made two pillowcases hoping that they can help to put a smile on a childs face. I would like to thank  Handmade by Heidi and Craft Vegas Mom for organising this  wonderful  challenge.

Easter T Shirt

This is a T Shirt I embroidered for my youngest grandson for Easter.   I only have  grandsons and I am always looking for designs suitable for older boys.  This design is from Urban Threads and they have some great designs for boys of all ages if you like something a little different.

I'm Enjoying It !!!!

Once again I am doing something different, Hand Embroidery WOW !!!!.   I am really enjoying it.  I found a little book that I had bought many years ago.  It is called 100 Embroidery Stitches and has a lot of photos with a great explanation of the stitches.  I have been trying very hard to get the stitches right.  I am getting better as I do more.  I have made two lavender sachets and a doiley for Christmas Presents.  These great patterns by Cheryl Goss  are free and can be found at Willowberry Designs.
