Oof! I can’t believe it’s been so long since my last post. I got sucked into the whirlwind of Halloween costume making, then planning an outdoor craft-themed birthday party for my 7-year-old, right into Thanksgiving meal planning, followed by the inevitable insanity of making gifts in time for Christmas day. Then in January, we got caught up in some unexpected house construction. Not the fun kind.
So, long story short, it feels like I blinked and rode a rollercoaster straight from September into February. And while the bad news is that all that craziness stopped me from blogging, the GOOD news is that I’ve been keeping track of my crafts and creations over the past 5 months. In other words, I’ve got some GREAT projects all photographed and lined up to share — I just need a little time to get them typed up. It will happen!
In the meantime, I’m gonna share some oldie-but-goodie projects that I used to sell. Since they haven’t been available on the Etsy store for a couple years, I’ve decided to go ahead and throw them up here for general public consumption. First out of the gate is this fabulous tooth fairy pillow with a tiny pocket that I’ve made for my own kids as well as for other friends and family members as gifts. There are two versions of the pillow — one with appliqué for the fairy dress and one with only embroidery. Both versions are available in the same download along with embroidery instructions and thread instructions. And, of course, instruction videos for all the embroidery stitches in this project are available on my website in the “Embroidery Tutorials” section.
To personalize the pillow with the name of your choice, you can also check out my tutorial on how to easily create your own embroidery lettering pattern with any word processor.
