Tressa's Christmas bag











I made tool belts for matthew, michael, and brayden







Stockings for the kids. They each got to pick out the fabric they wanted.

Here is the burp clothes for my new niece ANALISE.
These were the first time I tried these fonts on my machine. I got the flannel burp clothes from Target.













I made a diaper bag, I monogrammed the A and added a small name underneath. I found the fabric at Walmart! The inside is butterflies.










On this one I did the butterflies on the outside and polkadots on the inside, found the ribbon and fabric at Walmart.

Etsy Shop

I have just decided to set up an Etsy Shop. They site is beckydevries.etsy.com. I have not listed any items yet but as soon as all my supplies come in I am going to start with burp cloths embroidered with many fun pictures and characters as well as personalized. I plan to add items as I am able. Hopefully the winter months will bring more time and calmer children!

My First Embroidery Project!

This is my first embroidery project on my new machine. I just got a Brother PE-700 and love it. I used white Laura Ashley towels on the "B" with Silver polyester thread. The "H" is cream Linder towels with dark gray.

Flower arrangement I made for a client of John's for their new lakefront cottage. I got all of the supplies from Hobby Lobby.

Matthew and Michael's Yearly Pictures

Matthew at 4 years old. I decided to take the pictures myself. This is by the neighbors shed. He loves his picture taken and didn't want to stop.










Michael is almost three years old and very big already. He has a very naughty look. The background is the neighbor's fence.








This one is by our house. I don't really like the brick on our house but it looks great on pictures.








Here is Matthew again by the house. I was able to edit all of the photos on Picasa. Walmart Photo Center even asked me if I had a release from the photographer before they would let me have the prints. Awesome.
