Second item in a Lamb shower gift project I am making for a friend. This is a favorite design of mine - it is very dense but always stitches fine. Thanks for taking a look!! Hugs to all, Laura
Our kids got together and purchased this Kam Press for me for Christmas (sweet hubby mounted it on a beautiful piece of mahogany). The container behind it has dies for pressing snaps, grommets, covered buttons and rivets. I was blown away by it all. I
I came across a well written article (in BBC News) about the invention of the sewing machine and how it somewhat liberated women. I was blown away by what I read. Of course,I knew everything sewn before it was sewn by hand (think of those long dresses a
Doing a project for a friend who has a baby shower to attend. It has a lamb theme - but, I was instructed not to use any pinks or blues. Everything must be in blacks, greys and whites. Here is my first item finished - a hand sanitizer. I will be workin
I wanted to show our family's Thanksgiving craft we did in Frankenmuth, Michigan. We gather together from all over the country now. And what a fun group we are! Everyone participates in a craft we use as our Thanksgiving centerpiece. This year we pai

I promised a picture of our hearth with our new Christmas stockings that I embroidered. I think we must be working on a second row - lol. Thanks for taking a look!! Merry Christmas! Hugs, Laura
Do any of you sweet Cuties remember my oldest son, Alex and his beautiful Aussie wife, Alira, adopting Henry back 4 years ago. Well, guess what - they are pregnant!! Truly!! They decided to try IVF one more time - and it worked. We will have a new Gra
We needed new Christmas Stockings. The stockings were purchased, but, I embroidered names (with a font from my machine) on each and place a Christmas metal brad next to each name. Thank goodness, we have a very large fireplace mantel. Already know that
Stitched these men's wallets over the last week or so. The design comes from the same site that my cross shoulder bags came from. I am not a digitizer but, honestly both designs needed a little help. Thank goodness I was able to make some changes. But
The last of the cross-shoulder purses for our family - at least for a while. I wanted to get it finished and sent out - real life will probably keep me from stitching for a while. It turned out so pretty - this one is for our dear Aussie daughter-in-law
Just a quick update: Hubby came through the procedure just great. His heart does have some problem (Thank goodness his arteries are clear!) He will be referred to a specialist soon. He most likely will have to have surgery - but, we will cross that br
I purchased this design last week and decided to make a tray for my sweet hubby. He has been having health problems lately and I wanted to make a little something for him. It is a Celtic knot tray - made with vinyl and Kam snaps. He really likes it. Tha
New thread - feels like my Birthday (it isn't). Anyone else feel that way when they get new thread? My machine loves Isacord thread. The place where I buy it has a semi annual sale and if you buy colors in two, they reduce the price even further. Hugs
Did a little toy bag for 3 year old Grandson, Henry. I am finishing up his Mom's cross shoulder bag and he'll be looking for a small gift from his Lala. He has called me that since he was 10 months old. I tried to make it masculine - it probably will
