Embroidery Day

It seems like it always happens that when I am to have a short week at home, I start getting embroidery orders.....oh....I'm not complaining, just an observation.

Yesterday evening  a client text me about some embroidery she needed and was to see me today, so I waited. 

Today I received an email about two other orders....yea...a few extra dollars coming my way.

I really didn't get much accomplished today because I was searching my computer for a particular design that was requested.  I searched most of the day while stitching out the other requested items.  I finally found the design.  I had downloaded the design from Embroidery Library.  Thank goodness they keep a history of the designs I have downloaded from them.....so now the order is complete.

True to form.....I received a facebook msg for another order....yea....but I only have until Wednesday.

For Baby

A client ask me to embroider a blanket for her grandchild.  The baby is not here yet but they know it is a girl.  I thought I would add a little something to the order.  I love using the Lacy Girl font  (can't remember the digitizers name) and Monogram Wizard's Party Time font, so I put it on a diaper longways to use as a burp cloth.


Now I guess I should try to make a card to go along with it.

Trying to Get Organized

Carmen has a 52 project challenge to get organized...here is my project.....1 not 52 ha ha.

My PR600 embroidery machine and my computer dedicated just for embroidery designs.   I can send designs straight to the machine from the computer.  Thread rack is only half of the spools. 

Organized bin system sits on an old desk.

Cricut and ribbon rack sits on the right side.

This space, on the other side of the desk,  is dedicated for my new endeavor of card making.  Also, the other half of my embroidery threads. The thread racks are hung on the back side of two bookshelfs.  My other sewing machines are stored on the shelves of one and more embroidery thread on large spools are stored on the other bookshelf.

Hope

This card started out a "Think Spring" card. Can you tell I am tired of cold weather!! However, I never could get it to come together with the wording, but I did have a "Hope" stamp. Then I thought it needed something else and I thought about tying a ribbon around the tree but I had already glued the tree down. After that, it took an all different meaning. We have the military in our thoughts and prayers every day.

Sharing

It has been so unusually cold here in the South.  My little Boston Terriers love warm weather.  Today two of my fur babies are sharing a small pillow in front of a small space heater near my work station. It is not quite big enough for one much less two, but they are making it work.....sharing.
