finally!

I finally got some gifts sent to my friends Seri & Matt for their new baby. I didn’t want to post them until they got the package-which lived in the post office a few days waiting patiently :)

Their theme is mario for the baby’s room. Along with some burp cloths and baby hats was this:

Bag and Mario softies!

I’ve heard they like them! I hope so-I thought they were cute.

I packaged up the gift set and typed up the description of each item with pictures. I hope it sells! April 9th is the day…

There IS another thing I am dying to share----but it must wait until my sister gets it :) I just made it today-and hope she loves it! Watch for it here soon…

It’s ready!

My flirty Kitchen set is done :)

I wrote a summary of the items that I will send with them so they can put up as much information as they want… I’ll copy it here and add some pictures

Flirty Kitchen Set

Perfect for any woman needing a little refreshing in the kitchen! Remember-Mother’s Day is only a month away!

This matching set features a table runner, a set of two pot holders, a full front apron, and a set of two button-down kitchen towels.

All items are the original design of Michelle Bell and were made using high quality Heidi Grace designer cotton fabric. Everything is hand made, machine washable, and comes from a smoke free home.

Table Runner: Measures 36”x12” perfect to add some charm to any table. Top features random striped quilted pattern and was machine quilted with a meandering stitch through a low-loft premium polyester batting. The binding is hand made and attached by machine. The bottom features a beautiful print and decorative stripe-it’s pretty enough to be reversible!

Pot Holders: Each measures 7”x7”. These two matching pot holders are reversible with the same quilted pattern on both sides. Instead of the typical checker quilting pattern, these were quilted with a meandering stitch to match the table runner. They were machine bound for added durability. With a specialty Insul-bright batting, they are heat resistant and have a nice trim design.

Flirty Apron: This full 25” tall apron will help keep your clothes food free in style. It has a flowing skirt for a fun feminine touch. Long ties make it fully adjustable for your comfort, and the seams are machine serged for added durability.

Button Down Kitchen Towels: Never pick your towel up from the floor again! These towels are perfect for hanging from a drawer pull or oven handle. They’re made with a simple large button attachment, and a layer of fleece in the top panel for a thicker look and added strength. A soft towel is always within reach!

I am excited by how it turned out. Please try to ignore my crooked cabinet it the above picture…not sure what’s going on there… :-/

What do you think? Are my descriptions okay?

I will soon be done with another project-for a friend. I actually have a giant list of stuff to make that I fear will never end…I just keep adding more and more before I get done what’s already there!

getting there!

I’ve been busy learning while perfecting my flirty kitchen set for the auction! It has been a lot of fun so far.

So far I have finished the tablerunner and the apron! They are both my original design :)
