<span style="font-size: large;">This is a clutch I have been monogramming a lot of for Christmas presents. It has three compartments plus place for credit cards between the outside and inside pouch. This clutch is great for wristlet or over the shoulder bag.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
I have neglected my blog for a while now. I have started a small home business of embroidery and monogramming. Plus I have requests for sewing as well. It has overwhelmed me in what all you have to do on social media which takes away from my product time. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I promise to get back with it and share items I am making and tutorials I run across or make that might be helpful to my followers.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am getting ready for summer! A word of caution, you must protect your skin, not just wear a hat. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had a melanoma inSitu 4 years ago and I now do not go out with out wearing sunscreen, even in the winter!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QBajDDhNmxA/U2krVgCFp-I/AAAAAAAAA7s/FcaaWaFQ0io/s1600/IMG_0350.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-QBajDDhNmxA/U2krVgCFp-I/AAAAAAAAA7s/FcaaWaFQ0io/s1600/IMG_0350.JPG" height="400" width="400" /></a></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I picked up this hat at <a href="http://www.tuesdaymorning.com/fashion-accessories">Tuesday Morning</a>. I liked it because of the opening in the top would keep you from getting so hot. It's an air pocket, laugh!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used craft foam for the first time, with the embroidery and it worked out great! I wasn't sure, because I have had it in my craft stash for years. You know how those stashes can be. :) </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It tore perfectly when the stitching was done.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used a fast frame with sticky back to hoop the hat. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I highly recommend this if you are an embroiderer and want some substance to your embroidery.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Have a nice sunny day!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Our grandson who is 5 ½ has recently has gotten into BMX biking.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The family pooled together and gave his parents money to by him an "official" BMX bike.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought this shirt at Walmart boys department. It is safety yellow. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is even brighter than the picture shows.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">His helmet is black and gray with red.</span><span style="font-size: large;"> </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found this appliqué/embroidery by chance on </span><a href="http://embroideryocean.com/" style="font-size: x-large;">EmbroideryOcean.com</a><span style="font-size: large;">. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is listed under "racer helmet" .</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They had it as a freebie one day and I grabbed it. I made the 5x7.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I believe you can purchase it now for $1.00.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://www.blogger.com/blogger.g?blogID=2891720366624991744" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></a><span style="font-size: large;">That to me, is great price if you happen to have a BMXer in you family.</span></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It stitched out beautifully. I changed up the colors to match his helmet. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope this help's you if you have that child in your life that loves a bicycle!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My daughter found this bag among my clutter of bags in my closet. I have had it for years.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought it because I love the color yellow and it matches out boat stripe.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She had me jazz it up with her initials and it completely looks like a different bag to me now.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was never used before. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She is all excited about carrying it around on campus to her sewing classes.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This dress is for my grand daughter and was so much fun to make.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is an <a href="http://www.allbrands.com/products/30407-izzy-and-ivy-designs-iid130-macy-giggles-sundress?utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feeds&utm_term=Izzy+%26+Ivy+&gclid=CNypzqWyvr0CFchQ7AodiXcA-Q">Izzy & Ivy Pattern, Macy & Giggles</a>.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The fabric I used is from Michael Miller. I made a self-covered button and put in the middle of gathered fabric for the embellishment.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">In this picture you can see closeup of the button/flower.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The gathering on the shoulders is sweet also.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">On the back I used two self covered buttons with the large loops included in pattern.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The buttons on the bodice can be moved closer to the edge or farther for different sizes as she grows.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The band on the bottom is double, so I will be able to let the length out as she gets taller. She is already 4 years old!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I believe I'll be coming up with more fabric combinations for this one! :)</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I made this wooden cross for my daughter for her jewelry at college. She collects crosses and I thought this would be a nice addition to her collection.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She wants to have a wall in her home someday that is covered in artistic crosses. I too love the idea.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I bought the cross at Hobby Lobby when they were 50% off. I sprayed painted it the turquoise color.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The knobs and hooks were 50% off too. I simply drilled holes where I wanted to place them and inserted screws to adhere them to the cross. We added a hook on the back to hang.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is picture with her jewelry added.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope this encourages you to make a jewelry holder.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">This would make a lovely Easter gift!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My Mom is the State Regent of Arkansas for the DAR. I made a bunch of scarves to donate for raising money for projects. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She asked me to just put ASDAR on them, but I wanted to make them a little fancier. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">ASDAR could stand for Arizona too.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I added the State embroidery and I think it really helped pop the design. The ladies needed scarves to wear when they are standing outside waiting for soldiers to be returned and also to wear at</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> graveside events.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">One of their projects is finding unmarked graves and marking them.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I feel this was a great project to support.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I bought a file from <a href="http://www.emblibrary.com/EL/Products.aspx?ProductID=G9360&Catalog=Emblibrary">Embroidery Library</a> that I couldn't resist. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If you embroider you will feel the same way. I have been told that all beginners feel this way,</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">"If It Stand Still Embroider It."</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I still have this sitting in its hoop. The embroidery was close to 40,000 stitches! I am going to put it in a frame and hang in my studio. The stitch out took over an hour. There were 16 color changes. I think I am beginning to like appliqué embroidery more. Laugh out loud!!!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I used colors that I had rather than follow the chart. I highly recommend this, because the stitch out is fabulous.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a friend that's daughter is getting married on the beach.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She asked me if I had any idea what to give a grandmother as a gift.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">That really caught me of guard, because my Mother is the hardest to buy for and come up with a gift idea.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">If she doesn't have it already she will get it or doesn't want it. She is into decluttering her life and I do not blame her. I need to do more of it myself!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Then that night I remembered a sample pack of blank handkerchiefs that I had and suggested we embroider something on it for her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This is what we came up with. She is in her 80's and Caroline, my friends daughter, is going to give it to her as she walks down isle on the BEACH, March 1, 2014.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I just love this idea! I bet she starts crying, I know I would. I cry at all weddings!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wish I were going to the beach! The weather down in the South has been pretty horrid this winter. We are expecting more winter weather this weekend. I am so ready for warm weather.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am so excited about this latest embroidery I have done. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am always looking for ideas for adult shirts. I came across this one at www.Urbanthreads.com</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have made this for my Step Son that is 34 for his birthday. He loves going to concerts and listening to music. I thought this was perfect.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Isn't this a perfect idea. Go to Urban Threads if you do embroidery and you will find a lot of idea like this one. I am in no way affiliated with them. I just want to share what I find.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">My grandson was at a BMX track just riding around on his little bicycle. He was offered an entrance in a race. His bicycle was way smaller than the other boys, but he entered anyway. He just turned 5 years old. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">HE WON 3RD PLACE!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I found this embroidery from EmbroideryDesign.com</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made him this t-shirt for celebratory fun.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He loved it. I hope to get a picture of him in it soon!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Today I thought I would share a work in progress. I don't know about you all, but I am constantly rearranging and messing with the creative space.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">At the start of Its Sew Jodie I shared with you all a picture of the outside of my new studio.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here is the area in the front room where I embroidery and sew. I also have picture of area where I cut out. I often do that on the floor as well! It all depends on the size of the piece I am working on.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The blue cover is over my 10 needle embroidery machine. The black cover is over my BabyLock Ellisimo. The two covers along the side are my serger and addition sewing machine Pfaff 2170.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Here you will see my cutting table which always has something on it. I have to clean it off every time I start something new.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The robes are some embroidery projects I am currently working on for a bride and her maid of honor.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">You will notice I collect a lot of sewing books. They are stacked up on the right and in the cubbies.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you all are having a great week sewing and creating!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I have a sewing student that comes to me on Thursday's. We have become such good friends, even with age gap of 23 years. I love working with her because she is not afraid to try anything I propose to her and many are her own ideas!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am bragging on her today because she just finished two tote bags. She did a wonderful job picking out fabric herself. I think she has great taste. Tell me what you think!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I embroidered NEW YEAR pj's for my grand children this Christmas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We spent New Years Eve with them and had a Bon Fire!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was lots of fun. : )</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">They have recently moved to a new house out in the country.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I live in the city and it was so much fun getting up in the morning and seeing cows out in the fields.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It can't get much more relaxing than that!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made a big BOO BOO on my grandson's pj's and didn't realize until my daughter pointed it out. I used a file a just bought that said Happy New Year 2013.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Not thinking old files would still be up i bought it and was in middle of embroidery before realizing date. I added "EVE" to bottom so it wouldn't look like a mistake. Lol</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Bazze of course, didn't even notice. He is 6.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I got a picture with the three in their pajamas.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My niece is a deer hunter with her father. I ran across this deer cap, and I apologize because I bought it over 6 months ago and can't remember where I found it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I had been seeing the cute patches added to caps around on Pinterest and thought it would be a cute idea to do for her.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My machine doesn't have a hat hoop so I made a patch and glued with 6000 glue.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is hard to see, but on the side the cap came with a deer already embroidered on it.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I went with bright yellow to keep it with the neon orange color.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Dark Brown was used for circle and lettering.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think it is fun, now how much she wears it is another question!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It was fun to make.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I hope you all had fun making Christmas gifts. I would love to see them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I made some organizers for Christmas presents this year and they have many pockets.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Everyone loved them!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Right now JoAnn's has the organizers on sale for $28.97.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">The Old English Font on the first two were requested. I chose the font on the bottom picture.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I prefer it over the Old English.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I recommend the oval shape over the square. It has larger pockets and lots of divided ones. You could use these for craft items, cosmetics, jewelry, travel, etc.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">My grandson just had his 5th birthday on the 23rd.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">He had a bowling party and I found this appliqué to make him his shirt to wear.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is the first appliqué I have done, I am learning to get more confident about picking out fabric to go with appliqué. I get so nervous it's not going to look good together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I was having problems coming up with a gift to give to my husband, step-son and son-in-law.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Shopping at Sams I found a bag of 3 chef's aprons and bingo the idea hit me. Here are my samples. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The first embroidery came from Smart Needle, and the second came from Urban Threads</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">The big thing right now is jumbo embroidery on sweatshirts.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I made one for my daughter which I believe turned out great and an additional on different color sweatshirt. She absolutely loves them.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am really enjoying my 10 needle embroidery machine.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have had LOTS of orders for Christmas presents, so I have been able to experiment on many items. I have done bags, backpacks, jackets, t-shirts, pajama pants, casserole carriers and scarves.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now to get on with finishing up MY Christmas gifts!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I found some plates at Target and grabbed a couple because I knew I could come up with something to use them as gifts.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My first one I used a dear head shape from Silhouette and made me a round red nose to put on it. This gift went to a couple that the husband hunts a lot.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">My daughter and I made some Christmas gifts over the Thanksgiving weekend.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I want to share the recipe, because my husband tried it out and came back for more.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now that is a testimonial of how good this stuff is!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Supplies:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2 ½ cups granulated sugar, divided</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
¼ cup coconut oil</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1 lemon</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Put sugar in a large bow. Set aside. Measure out ¼ cup of coconut oil and place it in a microwave safe bowl. Heat coconut oil in the microwave for about 30 seconds, or until the oil is melted. Pour oil over sugar and mix to continue.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Using a zester or small grater, zest rind of the lemon. Then, cut zested lemon in half and, using a juicer, juice the lemon. Remove any seeds from lemon juice. Add lemon juice and zest to the sugar mixture and stir to combine.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
If the sugar scrub is still too "wet", add up to a ½ cup more sugar until desired consistency is reached.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I wish I could tell you where I got this recipe, but I printed it off this past year and am not sure where it came from. I would like to give the person credit for coming up with recipe. It was not me.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I made this using a shadow box and put ornaments in it that I bought at Hobby Lobby.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I printed the words Christmas and Cheer on my Silhouette Cameo with vinyl.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was so pleased with the way it turned out. It ended up selling for $50.00. I was so happy to be able to contribute to continuing women's education program.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I am planning on helping my sewing student make this bag, which is the Abby Bag from V and Company. My example has double the size loops and I added a pocket on the inside. I just can't get by with a tote that doesn't have a pocket.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It is reversible and is as cute on opposite side as regular. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Since I am a seamstress I fell in love with the Moda ruler fabric. The line is Potluck.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I picked out of my stash the mustache print because I thought they looked cute together.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The mustache's look okay going up or down so the directional fabric worked out okay. This makes a pretty large tote. I will next time use some iron on fleece to make it a little more stable.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The pattern called for light weight interfacing. I think a little heavier would be more appropriate.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">All and all, the pattern was easy and I love the look of the fabrics together. I was going to give it to my daughter, but she is not into the mustache thing. So lucky for me, I get to keep it!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I have a customer that is making a Hanukah table runner for you daughter in law.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She asked me to come up with a Menorah and Dreidel for the ends.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">The table runner is going cross wise on the table.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I am pleased with the Menorah and Dreidel but I feel Happy Hanukah or their family name should be just below to fill up the middle. She is happy with this look. It is just my preference. This is on both sides of the runner.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">What do you all think? I think it looks a little blank in the middle. She is making a really wide table runner for these two embroideries.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Need an idea for a great wedding gift?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I embroidered 16 napkins for a friend to give to her sister-in-law for her wedding present.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dLXvTTLjRDg/UoUporl1UpI/AAAAAAAAAtM/dvM2jiOYHBY/s1600/IMG_1650.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-dLXvTTLjRDg/UoUporl1UpI/AAAAAAAAAtM/dvM2jiOYHBY/s400/IMG_1650.jpg" width="355" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">We debated on monogram or single initial. We think this turned out beautiful. The mint green matches the color in her formal dinner dishes. She also has mint green casual dishes.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This napkin is a poly-cotton blend and washes well.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">She will be giving the napkins today and she is so excited. Her sister-in-law was just looking online this week for napkins. She had forgotten to register any so this will be a pleasant surprise.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I think I want to buy some for myself and monogram me some now!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
