We got home at about 2:00 and I ran upstairs and started playing! Skimmed the manual and watched some youtube videos and I was ready to go. About 10:00 I was still playing with very little downtime!
Here's a couple of things I have made :)
Monogrammed pocket!
It's a boy cut tank top from Wal-Mart and fabric is a grey damask from Hobby Lobby :)
I just added my first initial.
These aren't monogrammed but I'm considering seam ripping them and putting an initial on it now that I have a vibrant purple embroidering thread. Its also a boy tank top with an animal print duck cloth fabric from HL
Full view
Mini pocket tee's for my 2 sweet baby cousins, Lily and Laney. Found these for $1 at the Dollar Tree
Couldn't find one small enough for tiny Leah.
Both will be thrilled it matches Hailey.
Laney will be especially happy that its her favorite color, purple or "puple" as she says
I am most proud of this out of all my shirts. The anchor is from the website www.embroiderydesigns.com in there free section. You can download up to 3 free designs a week. Loved this anchor for this pocked. And it was my first project with two different colors. The anchor is navy blue and the robe swooped around is black.
Its also a boys tank top and fabric is from HL
At the Dollar Tree picking up those tees for the little girls I stopped by the baby section and picked up this blanket. I got brave and did it my first night. Its a baby present for a friend of my Dad's baby that is due anytime this week.
Wrapped inside it is a baby wipe holder with her initials from the Cricut my mom put on it and inside of that is a mini pocket onesie.
The best place to find plain single onsies is Hobby Lobby.
Walmart only tends to carry packs of 3-5 in either white, or with a design.
Love this name!

The next day we went to a horse show and got home around 10:00
What did I do?
Played with my new baby!
I already had Minnie Mouse ears from my previous Disney World trip so wasn't really planning on buying any but I really like the idea of the headband ones. Mine is the traditional hat with the elastic on the neck which gets aggravating. Especially when its 100 plus degrees in the South.
So I whipped these up!
I covered the headband that was houndstooth white a plain black ribbon, use a candle top for the template of the ears and a roll of duct tape to cut out foam circles that are on the inside to keep them standing up. The actual ears are just black felt. Mine was thin felt, thick would work better.
I then monogrammed two picked of black fabric with my first and middle name and then cut them to fit the ears and simply hot glued them on. I then added the polka dot bow since I am all girly like that and I HAD to be Minnie Mouse! :) The middle is black and white chevron where I added a rhinestone stud :)
Simple and cheap! Took about 30 minutes.
Everything was laying around my house useless.
This would be perfect for a trip to Disney or a Mickey/Minnie Mouse themed birthday party.
At WalMart today in the party section they had single packs that were much smaller and the ears were cheap plastic and the head band part was extremely flimsy. They were over $2 FOR ONE!
That would add up with a big party!
The embroidery is NOT necessary for this project so this is something anyone could do.
-------------------------------------------------------
Today was my brothers 13th birthday. I made him this shirt. The design came free from the website listed above. I then changed out the thread and added his name. It isn't perfect but he was very happy with it!
Walmart has dollar section sort of like Target but it isn't near as big or at my WM, organized!
But I found this, and decided to pick it up for a whole buck and put Kyleigh on it for a friend of mine that is actually at the hospital at the moment waiting for her to come :)
These were my first bows I made with embroidery.
This one is for my neighbor and family friend Mattie that cheers a on a small youth park and rec squad.
They are the bulldogs and there colors are navy, white and gold.
This ribbon wasn't the best, it was silky rather than matte.
This one I made for me, and it just had a simple H on it for Hailey! :)
I'm a cheerleader and always wear bows! I love them! :)
Even considering make some Disney ones ;)
I am a freak, I know.
Last thing!
Fancy smancy napkins I made for mom!
We've had these laying around and we decided to jazz them up!
A simple P for our last name, rolled them cute, set them with a small rubber band, and tied bows onto them :) Made 6 of these for our kitchen table
That was LONG!
Anyways, thanks for reading!
xoxo- Hailey :)
