I'm recovering...

Whew. It's over. The Christmas rush pretty much ate me up and spit me out again. I have the bags under my eyes to prove it. I would have loved to have blogged lots of pretty photos of all of my cool projects but this is all I have. Apparently I didn't have any time to even pick up my camera!!!

Slumber Girls

Plain white pillowcases from Wal Mart became canvasses and treasured party favors at Miss Kaylee's birthday party. Her mother asked me to embroider the name of each guest on the pillowcase and then the girls flexed their artistic muscles on the fabric. So cute!

They even used the pillowcases to catch their pinata loot. I'll bet they had sweet dreams!

Sleep Hard, Play Hard

Another cute pillowcase I made. Since I shared the girly version I thought I'd pass along it's mate!

Now I lay me...

Suddenly pillowcases are my hottest item. I made three today! Here's one -- a pillowcase for a little athlete.

A yellow dog with new tricks!

Although I'm on hiatus, I've been doing lots of sewing. An old friend had a baby a few weeks ago so one of the things I made was this cute Big Sis pillowcase for her older daughter. Since I didn't know what size t-shirt Kendall would wear, I dreamed up the idea of a pillowcase...something she'll never grow out of! Another huge development on this project is the designs -- although I bought the Big Sister design from another source, I used my new cool software to edit it and make the design more suitable to this project. Also, I digitized a new font for the first time -- doesn't it look great?!?!
