Bike Whores

Ralph and Will decided to get motorcycles. Yes, bikes! They both decided to get Honda Phantoms - one grey, one all black. These are cruiser bikes and, believe it or not, I can't wait until I get to ride also. This pics were taken the day they got their licenses and were "official". That date was Wednesday, December 23rd.

Now every time I can't find Ralph, he's with Will "cruising" on 27 LOL

Pop-Up Christmas Cards

I got an Anna Griffin kit on HSN that makes at least 50 (yes, 50) pop-up cards!!! I made like 9 and Maria made a bunch also. Teri and Deli only made like one each. Anyway, I still have like the templates for over 30 pop-up cards (guess what I'm making for next year...LOL) and these are just some of the ones I made. I accidentally deleted a bunch of the pics, including Erica's Hanukkah one :(

Trevor's UM Toilet Paper

I was Trevor's Secret Santa. Of course, I had to make him some UM toilet paper. LOL

Liam's and Elijah's First Disney Trip

Diana bought these onesies and hats. I embroidered them for the boys' first Disney trip.

JoAnna's Christmas Towels

Erica and I always go in together for JoAnna's gift. This year we got Mike a Sur La Table GC and she bought JoAnna a beautiful initial necklace. I embroidered the towels as a little bonus. She loved them, BTW!

Samantha's Kitchen Towel

Loving these Urban Threads designs. This one was for Samantha.

Will's Birthday Card

Since we are all going on a Disney cruise in April, I added Mickey ears to the penguin and then put a Disney gift card inside. Will loved it!

Giselle/Alina Christmas Presents

Nothing fancy, just a little something so the gifts are personalized. Giselle got a scarf, Alina, a kitchen towel.

Sewing Machine Cover - PFAFF Passport

My little Passport is a real gem. What a workhorse! I know she's made for travel and classes but I keep her out all the time now and use her for everything. I love the IDT and all the stitches and feet. I am so happy I bought her. With that being said, I couldn't leave her out gathering dust ... so I made her a little dress. Matches perfectly with my Paris seamstress theme.

The black quilted fabric is sold by the yard at JoAnn's. I embroidered the design, added trim and a ruffle, then finished with the bling closure and some embellishment to cover the line of sewing over the ruffle. I still think it needs a little something...maybe some red Swarovski crystals? Update soon :)

Natalie's 15th Birthday Card

Natalie turned 15th on October 30th. I got her a Pandora charm - Belle's tiara - and made her an Audrey Hepburn-inspired card. She loved it because I focused on blue as that is her favorite color.

Jon Michael's 28th Birthday Card

Jon Michael turned 28 on the 3rd of October. Wow. My baby is 28. The balloon is on an action wobble so it "shakes". Thought it was the perfect card since he leaves on the fifth to San Francisco.

Fun Cards

Just some cards for my stash. Never know when you'll need one...

Baby Liam

Some things for little Liam, Jonathan's and Michelle's baby.
