She's Back.....

Ms. Emma is back! That's right Ms. Emma my sewing/embroidery machine is finally back. She seems to be rested and in good shape after taking her mental health holiday. So I am currently working on kitchen towels. I have plans of making softies in the near future as well, so check back to see what kind of cuteness is hatching out of the Nest....



Aren't these cute? I made a set of the blue ones for a friend of mine who has recently moved into a new home. The tea towel embroidered in red will be added to my Etsy store.

Days Like This...

I've heard that boats who go unnamed are plagued with problems and bad luck. I wonder if the same is true of sewing machines? I'm beginning to think it is... I have really had just the worst luck recently with my new embroidery/sewing machine. She is shredding thread (giving me the worst fits) and the repair shop can't seem to nail down the exact problem. I'm totally frustrated because I have so many sewing projects in the works.

So I've decided to name my machine Ms. Emma. Ms. Emma is a powerful, mature sewing machine with much potential and many years of good stitches in her. Unfortunately she is prone to accidents and must be monitored vigilantly. While she is on vacation (due to her emotional breakdown of course) I have moved on to card making and crochet. Hopefully that will keep both my hands and my mind busy so I don't wind up on a mini-vacation like Ms. Emma!


These are little thank you notes I made to leave with service tips. I love the googly eyes on the owls!
