Screen Print Pillow

Tried my hand at non chemical screen printing and loved the results!

So this saying has been my mantra for a while now.  And now that the hubby has retired I am thinking my online shopping is really going to suffer......

Mirror Makeover For Christmas

Wanted to dress up our mantel mirror for Christmas with a little vinyl.

Used a Silhouette file from the Silhouette store.  Added a few extra stars.  Super simple but in keeping with my desire to keep Christ as the center of  Christmas.

Feed Sack Apron

Just finished a really cute apron last week.  It is made from Feed Company Sweetwater Moda Feed Sack Fabric.

 I had bought the fabric while visiting my sister in law in Idaho.  It only took one evening to sew and wasn't very hard at all even though it had curved seams.  I hate curved seam piecing.

 Lots of rick rack.  And really cute plaid fabric!

 I haven't decided if this is for me or a gift for someone else..........

Tea Towels For Christmas

Getting a few of my Christmas gifts done ahead of time!  I machine embroidered and sewed up about 11 tea towels.

 I did a few with the french utensils and a few with the rooster.  The material is bought by the yard and cut into towels.  The printed tea towel were made from fabric I got on spoonflower during the fat quarter sale a few weeks ago.

 This is definitely my favorite!  Love the pretty silverware.

So pretty......Hope everyone loves these towels as much as I do.

WiFi Password For Guests

Do you know you can change you WiFi password from that ridiculously long string of numbers?  I googled it and followed the instructions and then......lost all access to the internet.  Called my provider and found out you also need to delete and then re establish your internet connection.  WITH ALL YOUR DEVICES.  Not hard once I knew how.  Then my printer wouldn't work.  Same deal.  Reconnect.  I think I am all set now.......  Back to the reason I changed my password.  When we have guests it is annoying to have to give them that old password.  So now I have a cute little framed Welcome and WiFi info picture in the guest room for them.

So much easier for them now. 

Got the frame at Walmart and printed the info.

I think it is a cute way to make my guest feel welcome.

Santa Bag Using My Silhouette

Been spending a lot of quality time with my Silhouette lately.  Today's project is a Santa bag for a young family at our church.

 I used heat transfer flocked vinyl from Silhouette and a cutting file from Fynes Designs.  She also has directions for a bag!  However, I used my own pattern because I wanted my bag to have a round bottom.

The file took forever to cut.  I used double cut and blade set at 4 which seemed to work well for this material and file.

Using my iron worked but it was more time consuming.  I did have a 12x12 tile under the fabric to help increase the heat from the back of the design too.

  

My bag is tied with a ribbon and is stuffed with a few goodies for there family.  Can't wait to give it to them.

Update on Dr Who Tardis Ornaments

Had so much trouble getting the vinyl to lay smooth against the glass ornament.  Found out if you hit it with a blow dryer or heat gun the vinyl magically flattens and is totally smooth!  So cool.
