My friend Ashley was thrilled to have a baby girl. She already had two little boys and now she was ready for some pink. I asked Ashley what colors she liked for her daughter's room and she said that she was going with pink and green and she really liked owls. The funny thing was, I had just the right fabric to match her wish without heading out to a fabric store. I will be honest with you, I don't like the fabric stores in my area at all. I have a few favorite in Utah that I love to go to. So when I am there I don't feel too guilty buying fabric because I know I will use it, and I know I will never find anything that I like as much back where I live. </div>

My embroidery machine is my friend when it comes to gift giving. Before I bought it I would look in boutiques and be drawn to pillows with embroidery on them, or monograms. That got me started with wanting a embroidery machine of my own. Here are a few pillows that I would like to share that I have made up for gifts.</div>

The Gone Haunting Pillow is something that I put together for a service auction that we had at our church. It was a fun activity where people made things to auction off, or they auctioned off a service that they could give. I really do enjoy making things, but when I give them as gifts I despise being around when the gift is open because I get embarrassed. I worry if my friends will like it or think it is dumb. This was hard for me to have it auctioned in front of me. It turned out alright and it was well received but it was horribly frightening to me. I bought the spiderweb download at <a href="http://urbanthreads.com/" target="_blank">urbanthreads.com</a> . The fonts are things that I design on my ART program.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The next pillow, the Sensiba, was for part of a wedding gift. I knew the couples parents well, but didn't know them, so I thought I would try something personalized. It took about an hour to just stitch out the monogram alone, not including the name underneath. I think it came out nice though and I hope they like it. </div>

<span style="text-align: center;">I love pinterest. It helps me when I am trying to figure out what to do for my friends when their birthdays come up. Sierra was having a birthday and so I went to her pinterest board and I found something on there that I thought I could duplicate. Here is my attempt to mimic a RELAX pillow that she had pinned. </span>

<span style="text-align: center;">I have a whole board on my pinterest about pillows I love. The board is called pillow talk. If you want to check it out click on the red P on the side bar. For my next pillow project I want to try something more on the feminine side, a little ruffle or retro. I have some vintage handkerchiefs that I would like to find a fun design for. Any ideas?</span></div>Pamela Peepshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11810154851433701569noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605217615837598544.post-14598486051450485862012-04-16T22:59:00.000-06:002012-04-16T22:59:35.676-06:00Grand baby number 12<div style="text-align: center;">
I have been having so much fun in Utah. My son Marcus and his wife Jacque had a new baby. I was able to spend two weeks with them and I enjoyed every minute of it. This makes four babies for them, with their oldest being four years old. We were busy. I think the hardest job was keeping the new baby safe. Little Mason was so welcomed and loved by his older siblings that they just didn't want to leave him alone, I mean ever. What a sweet little family. I am so grateful to be able to share this with them.</div>

Jacque is incredible. She gave birth in a birthing center just two hours before this picture was taken. Seriously, no touch ups with a brush or make up. I was surprised when they came home with the baby so quickly. Jacque is a happy mother. Some women just don't seem to enjoy motherhood as much as others, this lady loves motherhood and it shows. Little Micah didn't mind not being the baby anymore. He stepped up to the plate of big brother quite well. </div>

When I was first considering buying an embroidery machine I wasn't sure that there were enough embroidery designers out there that had updated designs. As I did my research I was pleasantly surprised by the fresh downloads available. <a href="http://meringuedesigns.net/" target="_blank">meringuedesigns.net</a> was one of the companies out there that dazzled me with its modern touch. I bought this wonderful home sweet home design from them a while back and I have loved making these pillows.</div>

This is another pillow that came to life in my sewing room. I have made others for gifts for family and friends. I even made one for a white elephant gift exchange at Christmas time. You can see why I love meringue designs. You should click on their link above and see what fun things they help you make. I would like to see some of your creations, e-mail them to me, that would be great.</div>Pamela Peepshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11810154851433701569noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605217615837598544.post-91479662151632258412012-03-04T21:27:00.001-07:002012-03-04T21:27:16.725-07:00Project Linus and Kaps for Kendall<div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I belong to a women's organization at my church called the Relief Society. This is an world wide group of women who try to offer relief to their congregation (ward), to the community, and to those in distant lands, where ever the help is needed. I was a ring leader for this project. I finally collected the last of the blankets and hats to be given to projectlinus.org and kapsforkendall.com. Many fabric stores take the donations so there is no need to mail anything. Just take them to the nearest drop off place. I was pleasantly surprised to find that my local fabric store took the donations. The blankets were for the project Linus, you know, as in Charles Schulz's Linus character with the beloved blankie. Project Linus tries to get cuddly homemade blankets to children who are seriously ill, traumatized, or other wise in need. Our group pulled together 22 blankets of varying sizes. From an infant size to 93"x 93". </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This one, I am really proud of. A friend of mine has been wanting to learn how to machine quilt but has been nervous to try. She made this cute little blue and yellow blanket and made her first attempt to machine quilt. I think she did a great job. What a smart way to practice too, on these little blankets that you know someone will love.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Many years ago, maybe even a decade ago, I had my first go at machine quilting. I am sometimes too hard on myself, so this red and white blanket was stuffed away never to be looked at again. I was too embarrassed to give it as a gift because I just didn't think I did a good enough job. After I saw my friend's first try and how much I liked it, I decided to pull this out and add it to the pile. Really, it wasn't doing any good hiding away at the top of my closet. Now someone somewhere won't judge me on the stitches, but will just cuddle and love this little guy. Why are we so hard on ourselves sometimes?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">We collected 48 little caps for our Kaps for Kendall Project. You can give any type of hat to them, crochet, knit, or sewn, and they deliver them to patients who have lost their hair from medical treatments, such as chemotherapy or radiation. We have one lady in our group who had to undergo chemotherapy. She said that she loved to wear hats after she lost her hair. Not just because of her lack of hair, but she told us how cold she would get because her hair was gone. A hat would just keep the warmth in. Here are a few shots of our collection from my thoughtful friends.</span></div>

She bought some hats from a lady with a little company called A Chick with Sticks. This company gives much of their proceeds to a charity. So she actually ended up giving two ways, bought for a charity and then gave it to a charity. The little hats were so cute too. I tried to find this company on line, but I couldn't make a match. I didn't try REALLY hard though, if you wanted to try yourself.</span></div>

I have had company for 6 weeks and haven't had much sewing time lately. So, as you can imagine, it will be hard to see my little friend go in for a few days. Hopefully she will come back purring like a kitten. My last little project on my machine was this CTR towel. Our ward (church group ) provides the towels for the children getting baptized and I put a simple CTR on them in the primary colors. CTR stands for Choose The Right. I have seen some very fancy baptism towels with names and dates on them, but this works well for our purpose. We have a large primary, and this way they are ready for any child to dry off with on their special day. The child of course gets to keep them as a memento. When my machine comes home, I will finish the stack of other towels so they will be ready for their moment to shine, or dry, or whatever.<br />

One thing you will learn about me is that I absolutely love aqua and red. This wreath is in my living room. It worked for Christmas because my decor is none other than aqua and red, and it was ok to leave it up long past the season, because it still matches in there.</div>

I used the thick yarn to wrap around a styrofoam wreath. It took me about 2 1/2 hours of wrapping. I tied a knot in the beginning wrap, and then just wrapped over it. At the end, I did the same, tied a knot and hid it under some wraps.</div>

When you are wrapping your wreath, make sure you keep pushing the wraps close together so there aren't any spots of the actual wreath showing through. This is not an original idea, but it is fun to take an idea you have seen and make it your own. Our ward made some for a Super Saturday and it was fun to see how unique everyone's turned out.</div>Pamela Peepshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11810154851433701569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605217615837598544.post-17875085392274472122012-02-15T09:32:00.000-07:002012-02-15T09:32:34.265-07:00Mary Engelbreit rocks<div style="text-align: center;">
My daughter Elizabeth gave me this book about 8 years ago. I am a Mary Engelbreit fan. I love her sweet illustrations and the bright colors. This little book is full of Valentine little posters. Sometimes I want to cut this book up and frame the pictures, but that poses some problems. The first is my book would then be messed up, the second, I would have to decide which side to use. All of the drawings are so cute, that would be hard. So, I have decided to leave it in its perfect condition and just adore it as it was meant to be adored.</div>

We made these little wooden stands at a Super Saturday at our church. I will do a tutorial of them soon. I was teaching another class at the time so my friend Staci put these together for me. I need more, so when I make them I will share it with you. My friend Marcia sent me that puppy card last year. It was a must keep for my holiday decor. I just love it. The blocks were a fun find in the Target dollar bins one year. I love a good bargain. Those poor blocks keep getting switched around to say all kinds of things this year. Little hands keep spelling a certain not so Valentiney word. Good thing I checked before this pic was taken.<br />

I found this door at a Good Will store for $35. I was with my daughter at the time and we were fighting over it. I won. It hangs in my courtyard by my front door. I tried to decoupage again. This attempt was a little more successful. I sprinkled some glittery stones on them before they dried. I waited a few hours, (maybe not, I am not that patient while crafting), and then hot glued them onto a ribbon.<span style="text-align: center;">. </span><br />

My Be Mine blocks came from a party I went to last year. My friend Sierra won them. She knew I liked them, and she liked the prize I won, so we switched. Friends are good. I found this white metal tree at a store called Real Deals. I like to decorate it for different holidays. Some day I would like to find little frames and decoupage pics of my family in them. The little keys were found in the $1 bins at Micheal's. I couldn't pass them up. Too cute!<br />

I made this Be Mine banner on my embroidery machine. I have been getting into the banner mode lately. This one looks a little vintage to me. It was tough to take this photo because my dog kept wanting to get in the shot. She can be pretty sneaky at times. I am sure you will see her in some other post. I also made that love pillow on the table. I love decorating for the seasons.<br />

I have been married for 33 years to my Mark. That may seem like forever to some, but to me, it is just a beginning. I made this little pillow for fun. It is nice to have some things personalized. I love my husband. On the Friday before Valentines Day he took me out to dinner. While we were driving there, he turned to me and asked, "Why aren't you wearing any earrings"? I reminded him that my ears closed up about 6 years ago. I noticed the panic in his eyes, and I asked him if he got me earrings for Valentines day- which he did. That night after dinner we went to the mall and got my ears pierced again. That was a fun night.Pamela Peepshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11810154851433701569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605217615837598544.post-78167467212459109442012-02-15T00:30:00.000-07:002012-02-15T00:35:40.063-07:00Valentines Treat Bags<div style="text-align: center;">
February, the month of love. I had a few friends that needed a little sweetness, so I came up with this from an idea I saw on <a href="http://www.clearbags.com/catalog/product/view/id/176" target="_blank">pinterest</a>. Aren't they cute? <a href="http://www.clearbags.com/catalog/product/view/id/176">These little bags are awesome</a>. You will want the 1x8" bags. They even have a self seal top. I bought the heart toppers at JoAnn's Fabrics, or you can make your own pretty toppers. These came together really quickly, and every one likes chocolate, right? Skittles would also work. I love how you can buy candy in colors to match any holiday. </div>

My daughter in law, Jacque came and brought their two children. We had so much fun. We made barretts and went to the Pumpkin Patch, and just emjoyed being together. The week went by too fast.

One of the things that I did was sew this little Josie dress. Josie is my two year old grand daughter who is constantly on the move. She will look so cute twirling in this pink getup. The other day I was sent a video of her little brother taking his first steps. Minutes into the video, here comes Josie in her toy car, she smacks right into him, suddenly the taping stops. If you knew her you would have to laugh as I did. Her brother is fine, he has had worse. So... as you can see, she needs this pink little dress. Come and get it Josie... I can hardly wait. Of course we will put a shirt underneath it, it is almost October. (Don't worry J.L., after your move, your daughters will be dancing in theirs too).<div style='clear:both; text-align:CENTER'><a href='http://picasa.google.com/blogger/' target='ext'><img src='http://photos1.blogger.com/pbp.gif' alt='Posted by Picasa' style='border: 0px none ; padding: 0px; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 50%; -moz-background-clip: initial; -moz-background-origin: initial; -moz-background-inline-policy: initial;' align='middle' border='0' /></a></div>Pamela Peepshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11810154851433701569noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605217615837598544.post-1455988944008720132009-09-29T09:58:00.000-06:002009-09-29T09:58:33.949-06:00I needed Halloween<div style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8HCHS0EPSOLAavqw3g2lpaqwmh1WT8NcDh2ocFA8VRxZQ8__sMaThO09eQbfI5g0LD_w4D5H9dqbJZV1wKrkjsINC6Cd1GMFanNHBjazI2nPSYuxDZJ2qlGRTM9BSU40TvV3fMBnUO6zB/s1600-h/HPIM1478.JPG"><img border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8HCHS0EPSOLAavqw3g2lpaqwmh1WT8NcDh2ocFA8VRxZQ8__sMaThO09eQbfI5g0LD_w4D5H9dqbJZV1wKrkjsINC6Cd1GMFanNHBjazI2nPSYuxDZJ2qlGRTM9BSU40TvV3fMBnUO6zB/s320/HPIM1478.JPG" /></a> </div><br />I am so excited for the fall holidays.

Halloween time is so fun. In our area where we live there are many festivals this time of year. the balloon fiesta, pumpkin picking, party after party all month. We have some favorite carnivals that we go to in the fall. So, decorating for this season is a must. When looking at quilt pattern books in the store, I came across this one. I am in the middle of making two of these quilts because quite frankly, it puts a smile on my mug. I just think these are the happiest of halloween quilts ever. If you want to hurry up and make one too, you can find the pattern in Simple Seasons by Kim Diehl. I better hurry up and finish mine so you can see them. This photo is actually a picture taken straight out of the book.</div>Pamela Peepshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11810154851433701569noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-605217615837598544.post-48792476196320363262009-09-18T14:01:00.001-06:002012-05-03T01:06:27.663-06:00Back to the fun stuff...

I have been doing some mending lately. That is not exactly what I have in mind when I say that I love to sew. Hopefully by the end of the day I will have this little quilt ready to bind. I love binding a quilt. That is so relaxing to me. I like to save that for the night. I crawl in bed and watch my favorite 'Everybody Loves Raymond' DVD's and stitch away. </div>

My mom taught me how to sew when I was a young girl, and I really enjoyed my sewing classes in high school. The bug never went away. As a mom I sewed a lot of my children's clothes, and curtains, and things to pretty up the house. I have had the same sewing machine for over a decade. It is such a good machine, I can honestly say I love it. It just was lacking in a few areas. I found myself coveting a bigger, better machine. I spotted it in a quilting magazine and then started watching it on the internet. I thought I could never get it, so I would casually keep up on it out of interest. My friend and I happened to go to a Bernina store and I met the machine face to face,holy sweetness. I mentioned it to myhusband and he told me I should just go and get it. Justifying the cost was a problem for me so my husband helped push me towards the store because I wouldn't of bought this puppy on my own... Now, it is in my sewing room. We have bonded... I enjoy every single minute that we spend together, and trust me, we are together a lot, me and my new machine. </span></div><br /><br />Peeps, what's up with that?<br /><div>That has been my nickname that some great friends gave me forever ago. No, I do not like the Easter candy peeps, yuck... (the only thing I like to do with them is watch them expand in the microwave). Peeps, because for one thing, there are a lot of "P's" in my name. That is what my friends call me, and well, I like it.</div>Pamela Peepshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11810154851433701569noreply@blogger.com1
