Are any of you interested in directions for making a bedside caddy for someone in a hospital bed or to use on a walker? I was asked to write the directions out for the caddy that I've made, and thought you might be interested. If so, PM me, and I'll
I shared on here before about my first grandchild being born in May. Well, in our church family, another baby was also born in May--this baby weighed only 20 ounces, and had spent his entire life in the NICU. That baby passed away yesterday. I'm goin
a while back, I had posted the idea that I was going to use a panel of a lace bowl for a "modesty panel" for a shirt. Well, here's the model! The colors somehow don't show up as well as in real life, but the panel is the perfect size. A huge thank
As I was babysitting my machine today, I had the germ of an idea--almost every bit of advice about machine embroidery can be used for our spiritual life. So here's my bit of advice for myself--don't forget the fundamentals. For me, that means my quie
I'm sure this question has been asked before, but I can't find it, so here goes: When I bought my Brother machine, the dealer told me that she never hooped the fabric, just the stabilizer, no matter what. That works ok for me most of the time, but tut
I haven't been on here in months--I've been diagnosed with neuropathy in both my hands and feet. Walking is so painful. But, the important thing I want to share is that the neurosurgeon is positive that it is caused from taking a statin drug to lower
My first big project--a Christmas village tree skirt for my daughter and son-in-law. I used designs from designsbyjuju and created the skirt pattern myself. What do you think?
Sweatshirt with snowman juggling cupcakes. For my 21-year-old daughter. Wanted to use the juggling snowman from gramsbear,with the snowman's nose pointing up, but I wasn't smart enough to figure out how to add the cupcakes and take off the snowballs.
May I ask those of you who pray to pray for my mom? Her name is Virginia, and she is a four year colon cancer survivor. This year, her tumor marker number has been rising, and two PET scans have shown nothing. My siblings and I, as well as my mom, are
I feel like such a grown-up! I cleaned my machine, took the top part apart and found a thread nest (and wondered when was the last time I used that color!), cleaned the bobbin, changed needle, and put it all back together. Here's the important part--no
I embroidered sashes for our local peach festival pageants a couple of weeks ago. Here is how they look on the winners. One little girl is missing--her pageant won't be until July
Do any of you make wish lists of things you'd like to make with the designs you purchase? I feel wasteful. I have so many designs, and have good intentions of trying them, but then life happens and I get sidetracked and it seems like I never go back an
Here's a funny for all of you. Yesterday, I had to have a procedure done to remove an embedded kidney stone. So I was still a little goofy earlier today. You know that funny movement we all do when we are putting up the footrest with the lever and lea
Hoop problem--have any of you broken a hoop? The tightening "thingie" just broke off my jumbo hoop as I was unhooping a project. These things aren't cheap, and it was the plastic that broke, so it won't even glue together! Am I just too rough on it
I've read several posts on here about the loss of a precious life. I wanted to share one idea that I've used several times in my "circle". I've used a purchased throw (I keep several on hand and purchase them usually on clearance after Christmas)
