March is gone, embroidery is addictive.

I finally took time to take a few pictures of what I have been doing with my new sewing machine. I can say I have learned a lot in the last 2 weeks while I have been using this machine. I have a lot to learn and I am impatient with not knowing it all right now. I guess the last 30 years I have been so involved with working and raising kids that I did not realise how much progress had been made with sewing machines. I am glad that I went ahead and got this machine, but I do have to figure out a way to stay away from the stores, lol. The kids here have decided that it is time for intervention, that I am addicted to this machine and my computer is neglected and that I have not been on the Wii since I got it either. Brooke asked me tonight "When do you sleep?" I guess to her it seems that I never do, since I am still up when she goes to bed and then I am up when she gets up every morning and lately she finds me at this machine most of the time that I am home. This morning I was late for work even because I was trying to decide what I was going to do on the little shirts for the little kids. I have found that deciding what to do and what colors to use and where to place it takes up more of my time than the actual sewing does. I hate making decisions some times lol.







This is the EASTER apron I just had to do when I saw one on Saturday at the sewing machine shop. It is so cute and I wanted to make all the little kids a shirt with something Easter on it and dang time is getting close, so I had to realize that there is just not enough hours in the day to get all done I want to and go with something less time consuming in order to get the shirts mailed before I leave here on Thursday headed to Bama. This is the 1st t-shirts I have done so I am sure I will get better and get plenty of experience on shirts.

So this is what I came up with, and I know its not nearly as cute as some of the other things, but its done and its ready to mail tomorrow soon as I get off work. I have not got Nylah's done yet because dang it I do not have a N with the Easter egg or I can not find it in this computer anywhere. I just might have to do her one next week and just make it a spring t-shirt, but I will come up with something.

This is a bag I am fixing for guess who, lol.

This is bath towels that I had bought for the new bathrooms at the lake house and I brought some home with me to embroidery on and will bring more back next week. This monogramming on towels is working out good here. We all have our own towel and use the same towel for a few days rather than washing towels every day I was towels twice a week its never been a problem anyway cause we all have different color towel but now its even better with initials on them.
