Another Gingerbread Project

Spring has arrived here, which makes me feel so happy. My tulips have bloomed, our Oaks have already started sprouting leaves and the birds are busy tending their nested eggs.

Well, I was finally able to get pictures of my Daughter-in-law and the twins with their custom aprons I made, and baker's caps for the twins. They turned out so cute with the Gingerbread pocket topper design.



JJ's cap is also embroidered with Head Chef across the band, while Holly's cap is decorated with a ribbon that ties into a bow.

I have another apron and baker cap set to do for another grand-daughter and hopefully I can get that accomplished very soon. Right now, I'm working on some sewing for yours truly :)

In the meantime, I'm also working on my newest set of designs, Night Fairies. They are so pretty and can be made even more so with a little bling...hot fix crystals! Here's a preview of the first design in the set.



The designs are two colors, so you can change the look of each design, depending on the project you are creating. And, that means you can also use different colors of crystals, which is always a lot of fun. They stitch quickly as the only fill area is the fairy, with all the lines as triple stitch. I can see these designs sprinkled across the curtains in a fairy princess bedroom. Hopefully I can complete this set of designs and have them tested before the end of May. So many things going on really interferes with my play time!

Speaking of curtains, I'm also working on a new set of curtains for my kitchen. They are embroidered (of course) with these beautiful cutwork tulips and a cutwork bird designs from S Embroidery - Just scroll down the page and look for the New Birdie and New Tulip designs. They are so pretty and stitch out so well. I'll be taking a picture of my curtains as soon as they are completed.

Have a great week,

Shari
