Bath Towels
I designed a monogram for our bath towels... One with my initial on it and one with my husband's... this way, we can keep track of "Who's towel is it anyway?" - LOL!! And I REALLY liked how they turned out...
Have a great weekend!!

MIA & Top Secret
Lately I have been working on various things, among them a surprise party... Reason why I cant write or post any of the cute little things I have been creating!! I cant wait to show you what I've been working on... It will be soon.
On another note, I just became a BeautiControl consultant... well, sort of... I want to try the products first (try them more than just one time)... The first time... well, the results were pretty good, so I'm giving it a shot - will keep you posted on the results!!
Today I met with my friend Kathy to go over some patterns and try to decide what our next "sewing project" will be... well, well, well... I believe we will be working on the professional tote. It seems challenging enough and I cant wait to start... She is working on her blog - so I'm pretty excited... she makes the cutest handbags...
Well, I am ready for some needed rest.
Thank God for the Sabbath!!
God Bless!

Vacation & Community
Away we went... it was one amazingly relaxing weekend!! A weekend cruise to the Bahamas is highly recommended!!! :)
Well, now that you know why I havent been around... I have also been networking on various community events... among them, I went to a meeting from the Altamonte Springs Chapter of WOAMTEC (Women on a Mission To Earn Commission). "Its a social, stress free, networking atmosphere where women can just be women" I just went as a guest and had a great time. Got to meet some great business women in this area.
I also went to drop off some of the handbags that were collected at the Handbag Event. We went to the Cancer Center in Apopka (next to the Apopka High School). It is a neat place that provides a bunch of services for cancer patients. A great experience!!
In addition to this, today I started working on some burpies... I've been struggling with "how to make it easy and cute"... well, I finally got it!! And I love it!! I promise to take some pictures soon and post them...
Hope you all have a great night... and TGIF soon!!

Sewing Machines & more...
What brand and model do you have?
Husqvarna Viking Designer SE LE
How long have you had it?
1 1/2 years
How much does that machine cost (approximately)?
a bit spendy... $6,000... but so worth it!
What types of things do you sew (i.e. quilting, clothing, handbags, home dec projects, etc.)?
Everything from baby blankets, baby clothing, blankets, quilts, hadbags, & embroidered on almost all types of fabric (including leather, towels, silk, etc)
How much do you sew? How much wear and tear does the machine get?
Almost every day... so it does get a bit of wear and tear...
Do you like/love/hate your machine? Are you ambivalent? Passionate? Does she have a name?
ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT!! Passionate enough that I work part-time selling them!!!
What features does your machine have that work well for you?
First and foremost its the sensor system that got me sold on it (I step on the pedal, the foot goes down and it starts sewing)... the thread cutter and the "fix" option is another favorite!! And last but not least the EMBROIDERY!!
Is there anything that drives you nuts about your machine?
Not yet :)
Do you have a great story to share about your machine (i.e., Found it under the Christmas tree? Dropped it on the kitchen floor? Sewed your fingernail to your zipper?, Got it from your Great Grandma?, etc.!)? We want to hear it!
Nothing exciting... I just decided I deserved one...
Would you recommend the machine to others? Why?
Yes! Everyone I know that owns one - absolutely loves it too!! There is so much you can do with this machine, its amazing! Once you try it, you dont want to use anything less...
What factors do you think are important to consider when looking for a new machine?
First thing is deciding what you're using your machine for (if you're just going to mend clothing or sew on home dec fabrics!) Certain machines dont work well with heavy fabrics! Buy something that feels good - make sure you try before you buy!!
Do you have a dream machine?
Yes, I own it!!

Back in the game...
Here's the set...
We also worked on some "bombacho" shorts which are some baggy-baby-trousers/shorts... these are my favorite!! We also added a different shirt to go with this one which closes in the back side and added a cute embroidery in the front. Used a baby blue irish linen for this one... Here's what it looks like...
Here's the set...
So, just a quick update... I do have a lot more to share... but I will pace myself this time... THANKS a bunch for checking out my creations... it means so much to me.
Have a wonderful week! ...K

Genesis...
The first christening gown I made was for my friend Lourdes' baby girl... Cecilia... and that was THE BEGINNING!! My mom helped me out with this one, since it was a BIG thing for me... What can I say, she's my mom and I think she's the best!! Well, after this one I made two more on my own :)
Well, then comes the packaging... I do fold them a certain way so the front and back can be seen when packaged... here are some of them packaged and ready for delivery...
So, this is it for now... I have to get back to work... Have a Happy Friday!!
