Back to School

I can't believe that school will start soon!  We have had a great summer so far!    Someone recently emailed me about the chair pockets I made for my niece a few years ago.  You can read about them here:  http://daisydesigns-embroideryandappliques.blogspot.com/2010/08/back-to-school.html  If you are not familiar with chair pockets they are great for school!  I wish I had them when I taught 2nd grade.  They are super easy to make too!  I made these out of denim fabric so they would be heavy duty and wouldn't show pencil and crayon marks as bad.  I think they would be great with a cute applique or the teacher's name on them too:)

As many of you know, my daughter twirls the baton.  I found this cute applique and did this shirt for her.  I love (and she loves) the sparkle thread! 

Here's an up close view.

I am still doing burp cloths for a group at my church.  The group of ladies make items for homeless shelters and Save a Life.  They are fun and easy to do and go toward a good cause so I don't mind doing these.

Around here we are looking forward to this!!!

While we have done lots of fun things this summer, taking care of these sweet things has been top of the list!

Thinking ahead

Annamarye has a tank top dress that I put a flip flop applique at the bottom. She wants a beach ball on the top. Here's the sample I did. I haven't done hers yet, but I will post it when I do. Hopefully it will be this weekend!

I went to a sample sale and bought Annamarye a few things for the fall. I bought this for me! I added the "M" and now I'm ready for Bama Football!!

That got me thinking about Fall and Football. Here's a football applique and a pumpkin applique.
