Wouldn't triplets be fun???

I am sure at some point triplets would be fun,  but I can't imagine having three babies at once.  Robby's cousin Tiffany has a friend who recently had triplets so she asked me to make some burp rags for her to give them.  I sure had fun making matching burp clothes for them but I', really glad that I'm not the one having to get up in the middle of the night!!

 I wanted the first ones to match but not be exactly the same.  They are all pink and brown but with different ribbons.

Then I made another set using the same embroidery file but different colors.  These do match.

I just love these stacked monograms. Years ago, I received an embroidered burp cloth when Libby was born.  It was my favorite burp cloth and I have been making them as gifts ever since I got my embroidery machine.  Hope this new mom loves hers as much as I did mine.

This next design is one of my favorites to make - A baby face (from Nobbie Neez) and the baby's name.  I used a different color for the bow and name to make each one a little different.

I used the Curlz font on all of these burp cloths - it is one of my favorites for little girls.  I just found a new site to purchase embroidery fonts and designs called "Five Star Fonts."  They have some really cute fonts and designs.

Best wishes to the sleepless parents on raising three beautiful girls!!

Halloween treats

Not long ago, Libby, Jessica and I were working on some crafts.  We cut out some circles to use on goodie bags and then decided not to use them.  As I was messing with the circles, I thought they really looked like eyeballs.  Jessica and I had seen some treat boxes in the "Scrapbooks, etc." magazine so we made cards from their designs.

Here's the first one we made - Mr. Pumpkin -

Then our favorites - The Mummy family -

I think we are going to add a bow to this pink one especially for my niece Kadence!!!

And finally, Frankie -

Here's the whole gang looking at you - My son Nathan thinks they look like the Geico money - Ha!!

Our plan is to make some treat bags and staple them under the cards.  I will make another post when we get those done.

Trick or Treat Bags

I was asked to make a trick or treat bag for my great niece, Hope,  since I had made one for her older brother a few years ago.  The original bags were black with glow-in-the-dark thread.  Here is the one I made for my great niece Kadence several years ago.

I couldn't find any glow-in-the-dark thread so I used some leftover glow-in-the-dark fabric. I think I like these bags even better than the originals.

These bags are for my newest "great ones" - (my great nieces and nephews.) Bet they will collect a lot of goodies with these bags!!
