CURIOUS GEORGE....


Happy 1st Birthday Daniel! Hope it is a fun filled day with lots of love and yummy cake all over you. Can you believe how fast birthdays come and go? It seems like yesterday I was being blessed with my three children. Enjoy the moment you are in right now, we can never go back only forward.


This appliqued onesie was made using Curious George face with a "1" behind it. The main color was blue for the "1" and "Daniel". Hoping it will make a little boy happy!


Curiosity...."My Father has given me authority over everything. No one really knows the Son except the Father, and no one really knows the Father except the Son and those to whom the Son chooses to reveal him" (Matthew 11:27). Praying that you know Jesus Christ as your personal saviour and that you seek him and not the things of this world.

ROLL TIDE…





Bryden Beare may only be “1”, but I believe he will definitely be an University of Alabama fan as he grows up. I have been told by his aunt that his family is such a big fan of Bama that he was even named after the great “Bear Bryant”, hence his name above. Happy 1st Birthday to Bryden Beare, a little boy I have never even met.


This design was a learning process for me as I had to merge 3 designs by overlapping the stitches. I was very proud of myself using my embroidery software to accomplish it. If I do say myself, it turned out really cute, I think. The “1” is appliquéd with cardinal red thread and a velour material inside, so very soft. The elephant was a design I purchased from Stitch on Time, which has thousands of cute designs. The elephant is appliquéd with a grey striped cotton and his clothing had to be none other than black and white hounds tooth. To finish the design, the name was stitched across the top of the “1” in black thread.


As I conclude this birthday shirt design, my question to you is have you had a new birth experience with Jesus Christ? Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born? Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again" (John 3:1-7). Praying that each person that reads this has truly been born again! Jesus stated “I am the way, the truth, and the life” (John 14:6).

PEACE (CAPRI SIGN), LOVE AND ANNA LAURA

HAPPY 5th BIRTHDAY TO MY SWEET LITTLE GIRL ANNA LAURA! I LOVE TO MAKE A BIRTHDAY SHIRT FOR MY CHILDREN IN WHATEVER PATTERN THEY DESIRE. THIS YEAR ANNA LAURA PICKED “CAPRI SIGNS”. “CAPRI SIGNS” IS ACTUALLY A PEACE SIGN. HOWEVER, ANNA LAURA HAS CALLED THEM “CAPRI SIGNS” SINCE I CAN REMEMBER! WE WENT SHOPPING FOR FABRIC, AND THIS WAS WHAT SHE CHOOSE. HER CHOICE OF FABRICS DEFINATELY REPRESENT HER OUTGOING PERSONALITY. SHE WANTED A ONE-SHOULDER DRESS AS WELL, WHICH I MADE WITHOUT A PATTERN, AS WE COULD NOT FIND ONE. SHE LOVED IT. I ALSO MADE THIS PANT/SHIRT COMBO OUT OF THE SAME FABRIC. THE PANTS WERE LIME GREEN WITH A ZEBRA/CAPRI SIGN/HEART PATTERN RUFFLE. HER T-SHIRT WAS CUSTOMIZED WITH A COORDINATING RUFFLE AND TRIMMED WITH ORANGE RICK-RACK AND A BOW. “I AM 5” WAS EMBROIDERED SO ALL WOULD KNOW SHE WAS THE BIRTHDAY GIRL! SHE LOVED IT! WE ALSO ASKED OUR DEAR FRIEND, REGINA, TO MAKE A HER CAKE TO MATCH. SHE TOLD ME AFTER HER BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION THAT “HER BIRTHDAY WAS AMAZING AND SHE HAD A FANTASTIC DAY, THANK YOU MOMMY, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH”. MEMORIES I HOPE SHE’LL ALWAYS HAVE IN HER HEART. HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY ANNA LAURA! I LOVE YOU ALWAYS AND FOREVER!
