fun stuff

This past Christmas I had fun making a lot of our gifts. One gift that I really had fun making was a bag for my nephew! I used my nifty embroidering machine to put his name on top of the bag and then I chose a special picture for the front.


The reason this picture is so special is because my nephew loves Sesame Street and because once upon a time this picture was on the front of a shirt that my sister and I both remember wearing. This past summer my mom dug tons of stuff memorabilia out of her trunks at home and told us to take what we wanted. Well, a couple of things held fond memories for both of us. This shirt was one of them. First off it was made of polyester - definitely a 70's icon and second we both remembered loving the picture on the front of our coolest shirt! Anyway, she ended up with the shirt.


A cute picture of my nephew opening his bag and Toy Story 2 DVD!


When we were on our return trip from visiting with my parents my daughter spotted the shirt in the back and said, "I thought Aunt Rebecca got that shirt!" I was surprised to have it and that she had tucked it in among my things. When I got home I knew I wanted to pass it back someway and thus my nephew's Christmas present was born! It is fun to have a sister to share such fun things with.

Embroidering Again....

My husband's cousin just had her second baby, so I decided to try my hand at another embroidering project, personalized burp cloths. I thought they came out pretty cute!
