This and That

I really enjoy taking something plain and adding a personal touch to it. It is like a piece of art to me. Like taking a blank canvas and bringing it to life. Before my "grown up" life I particitpated in art classes and wanted to minor in art in college. Any type of art medium is fun to me. It is very relaxing and allows time to escape the realities that weigh so heavy everyday. I miss the time to create and just escape for a moment. However, I have learned that embrodiery allows me the opportunity to create by taking a bag, towel, shirt, anything and give it character and life. This is something that is fun and relaxing to me. So, today I just want to share some things I've done in the past few months. It is fun to share this with you and give you ideas so feel free to leave me a comment and let me know what you think.

Fun Holiday Applique

Ryland is here! I have not posted anything the past two weeks because I have been a little busy with a new little life around. Things are finally getting back to normal and I really wanted to share some holiday ideas with you. I really enjoy creating an applique design on most anything. Today I want to share with you two holiday appliques that I used to spice up a plain white bib.

The first one is a three pumpkin applique. I used orange fleece to really make the pumpkins stand out.
The next one is a turkey applique. I really like this design because of all the detail and colors you can add to make this unique.
Both of these would be really cute with a name added for your special, little cutie pie as well. I bought these plain, white bibs at Hobby Lobby for any of you who want to do a little holiday bib of your own.
