Opening Day!!

I'm excited about starting a blog about my new love of embroidery!  Back in Dember I bought a new machine and I haven't stopped since.  I keep returning to Thimble Pleasures in Chapel Hill, NC for "just one more roll of thread" and coming out with much more.  Now, that never happens to anyone else does it?  Thimble Pleasures is one of my favorite stores.  It's primarily a quilt store but it has the most beautiful fabrics I have seen and the staff is so friendly and helpful.   Special thanks to Celeste who let me borrow an embroidery machine until my new one was delivered.  I guess she knew there would be no turning back for me after that !
I have been busy with childrens item as my initial focus.  The crayon aprons I have created are so cute!  They have stitched pockets for holding crayons or pencils/markers and the kids look so cute wearing them.  They also keep their clothes semi-clean.  I can personalize each one with a name or anything else you'd like.
A friend of mine liked my crayon books and ordered one for her little daughter Grace.  The books hold a coloring book and/or pad of paper and have stitched pockets for holding crayons.  They are great for taking to a restaurant or anywhere you go where your child may need some quiet "entertainment"
