Sew Sew

Making gifts for people comes much easier to me than actually shipping them out. Here I’ve made some baby wash clothes and some reversible fabric coasters.

Embroidery

Attended my first embroidery sewing class today, and all I have to say is “wow”, the possibilities are endless. We made an embroidered mini pillow that buttons up on both ends. Super cute. I need to work on the final touches and voila, awesome mini pillow. I’m really excited to go to the next one and learn even more, but for right now I am happy to experiment.

The two on the outside are the front and back of the pillow, and the dragonfly was something I tried after getting home.

I am proud to report that my seed starting success rate has been fantastic. 

Herbs include: cilantro, basil, as well as, lemon basil, dill, oregano, thyme, savory, italian parsley, and sage.

Vegetables: broccoli, 4 types of tomatoes, 7 types of peppers, 3 types of lettuce, cucumber, and lemon cucumber.

Flowers: way too many to list, but to name a few: lupin, red hot pokers, hollyhock, purple and white gayfeathers. 

Of course I felt compelled to share a few pictures.
