4 Bean’s Clutches

It’s been a busy, yet productive evening!  I finished up four Bean’s Clutches which have been cut and ready for production for at least two months.  Now it’s time to get them into my shop before I’m off to dreamland!

Downpour!

Today we experienced two torrential downpours, and we’re not sure we’ll make it through the night without another one.  I don’t mind the rain…except when I’m nervous about it taking the power out and my sewing/embroidering machine along with it! 

Luckily, the power did not go out, and I finished two custom embroidered onesies.  

One of the onesies I created today had a special request for a little duck on.  I think it’s turned out very sweetly!   I can’t wait to find out what she thinks of it.  I might need to add the little duck to my shop as an option.

When I finished embroidering, and it had stopped pouring, I put my L.L.Bean wellies and splashed outside in the puddles!  I bought them for using in the rain and snow (with the warmers,) and they’ve been awesome!  It’s fun to act like a kid sometimes, especially when you’re not getting wet or muddy!

Bird Brained

I'm off to a baby shower this afternoon, but before I drop off the gift, here's a peak at the packaging!  My friend decked out her nursery with birds...so I had to follow suite! 

I found a crafty pom-pom bird kit while bargain hunting containing four birds that were so simple to put together.  The kit even came with a little bottle of glue, and it was as easy as gluing the eyes and pre-cut beaks to a small pom-pom, then gluing that to a larger pom-pom, adding on the pre-cut tail and twisting together some little pipe cleaner feet.  It would have been a simple project without the kit!

I adorned some faux dogwood branches with the birds, then stuck them in a gift bag, that also matches the nursery's colors!  I hope she loves it!
