Funky Roosty Designs

I've just loaded photo's of my Funky Roosty machine embroidery design set on the "for sale" page.  There are 10 designs in the set and are all applique designs.  I thoroughly enjoyed digitizing them and think they are quite, well, Funky!

Bathroom make over

After getting out of the bath one too many time without any towels in sight, I decided to embroider our names on it and now my towel stays put.  I embroidered multiple sets for customers over the last 12 years, but never made time for ourselves.  Whilst busy with the towels, I also dressed the windows with new curtains.

Struggling with multiple unfinished projects

At the moment there are unfortunately not much embroidering going on.  I'm trying to finish projects started and left unfinished due to the fact that I decided to embroider bibs and baby shoes for the Eunice Christmas Market last year.  It was however, a complete waste of precious time as I didn't even break even with my expenses. 

This is what 65 bibs look like:

So, if anyone needs a gift for a baby shower....

Luckily (for me) was my husband between jobs at the time and he helped embroider the shoes.  Yep, he really loves me.

Well, I'm not playing that game any time soon.
