PB Inspired Bakery

When I saw this in PB catalog I got in love of it, but as you can see it is pricy, so I got the idea I could make one for my children. I draw an sketch and use PVC pipes for the frame, and the fabric was from the $1.95 section of Fabric.comI use embroideries from here, here, here and emblibrary.com.

I love to see my children playing with it. They love it.

Have a good day

Darlette's Christmas present for me

She probably thinks that I did not like my Christmas present, but I was waiting for permanent ink to show you what she made me.
First she made beautiful paintings that she turn to cards and she gave me some as stationary I just love them. Also she made me this amazing stamp.
I will be using it to sign my projects.
I do not have much time I have been quilting for the last few days and no way near finishing.
Cheers

Felt Embroidery Cookies

Darlette made this beautiful felt embroidery cookies for the girls.
Alana got this cute cookies with this cute tea bag. Darlette put them in actual cookie containers and look very cute.
Grace got a gingerbread man cookie set ready to decorate and have lots of fun pretending.

Funny thing is that my girls love to bake they prefer to make cookies and this year they helped my with our neighborhood presents.

Have a great day

Doll Beds

Darlette made this beautiful doll beds to give her girls for Christmas. She just show them to me and I ask her if I could share with you. They are just beautiful!
Darlette hizo estas lindas camitas para muneca para regalar a sus ninas en la Navidad. Me acaba de mostras las camitas y le pregunte si podia mostrarselas y dijo que si, creo que estan simplemente lindas.
She made the mattess, Sheets and quilt I think they are adorable.
Ella hizo los colchones, savanas y colchita, estan adorables.
She got the idea and plans from here.
Ella encontro la idea aqui.
A funny story is that when we were in middle school I took wood shop class and Darlette Accounting. Last week mom call me and asked me what I was doing I said "doing the books for Hubby" then she called Darlette and mom asked the same question, Darlette answered "woodwork." Mom laugh the accountant is doing woodwork and the carpenter is doing accounting. Darlette clarify, "yes but Erika studied accounting in College, and I am just trying first time." I think she did great considering it is her first time.
Una anegdota sobre esto es que cuando estudiabamos en la Escuela Secundaria yo estudie carpinteria y ella contabilidad. el otro dia mama hablo y me pregunto que que hacia y le dije "haciendole la contabilidad a mi Esposo", despues ella le llamo a Darlette y le pregunto lo mismo y ella contesto "haciendo las camitas para mis hijas" mi mama se rio y dijo "mira la carpintera esta haciendo contabilidad y la contadora carpinteria" Darlette le aclaro, "Si pero Erika estudio contabilidad en el Collegio y yo apenas estoy aprendiendo carpinteria" En fin creo que le han quedado hermosas las camitas.

Anyway as I said I am working on Hubby's business and I haven't done much crafting that I can show you right now. Hopefully soon I'll be free.
For now...
Enjoy the Holidays!

After 3 years or so...

I really don't remember when Darlette made this for me. she just said "finish them, they're almost done (half of them)" well today I finally finished them. It took me about an hour How bad I am. I have a few UFO's in a box that I am determine to finish. This is one of them. I have presents that are part of that box, sorry I will show them after Christmas. for now here are my snowman finish.
I add the yarn for hanging and put a button on the bottom like the pumpkins I made before (the first set was for my mother in law two years ago) my set was done just a month ago... Anyway in this case I added the buttons on the back because Darlette did not leave much space for the front.
Also you see one with pon-pon trim, she made that and I do not have any so I just left it in there.
I will add them to the christmas Tree decorations and leave them on the shelf for January winter decor.
Have a great Weekend

Darlette made this bag for her iPad. Her hubby said it is a bit too big. I think it is Okay.

Darlette hizo esta bolsa ara su iPad, su esposo le parecio un poco grande para el aparato pero creo que esta bien.She used the most delish Bliss fabric.
Ella uso la tela de la line Bliss tan linda.

And Added some of her machine embroidery touch.
Y agrego un toque de bordado a maquina.

I like the way it turn out and the many compartments.
Me gusto como le agrego tantos compartimentos.
Even a zipper bag on the back.
Hasta un bolso con cierre en la parte trasera.
And adjustable handle...

More cookies

Since Darlette made cookies for Cosey's presentation the twins asked mom if she would make some for their preschool song presentation. So there Darlette went to make cute cookies each referred to a song for the twins and here I show them to you.

Como Darlette hizo galletas deoradas para la escuela de Cosey, las gemelas le pidieron que si les hacia unas galletas para su presentacion de canciones en su kinder. Asi es que hizo unas lindas galletas con los temas de las canciones que las gemelas cantaron.Have you seen a bear with such cute underware?
Alguna vez han visto a un oso con tan lindos chones?

Have a great Memorial Day Weekend!
