I love these Christmas gift bags. They are sturdy and I have green polka-dot and red snowflakes. The green is cute when you use pink lettering or even brown. The red bag is FABULOUS with black lettering! Of course they come with BLING!
I always have tea towels on hand for those needing a quick gift. Here are the latest creations.
Baby Burp Cloths
I have been wanting to make some burp cloths and didn't know anyone having a baby. I am so glad that Wendy asked me to make her some for her sister-in-law! Great excuse to go fabric shopping!

Quilting at 40?
YES! I love it! If you would have told me a year ago that I would've been quilting...I would have never guessed it. This is only 1 square of the Crazy Compass Quilt that I am participating in at Nimble Thimble. You can find the Crazy Compass pattern on the right hand side of my blog.
Christmas in July?
I participated in an "Art to Heart" class and we made these tea towels for gifts at Christmas. This was sooo much fun!
Bayli's 13th Birthday!
Bayli picked this bag out at Karen Horton's for her birthday. I added her name for a personalized touch.
Happy Birthday, Blake!
He LOVES Elvis and wanted me to make him a pillowcase out of this fabric. Cute!
Monogrammed beach towels make fabulous gifts!
Thank-you, Michelle, for allowing me to monogram your kiddos beach towels! Aren't they cute!

Happy 13th Birthday, Audrie!
This is a funky new pillowcase that makes great birthday gifts!
Rylie's Book Bag
This was one of my first monogramming projects. It is monogrammed in a metallic purple thread. Sooo cute! This would be a great birthday gift. I believe you can pick this up at Wal-Mart for around $12.00.
Laura
This was a project from one of my first Art to Heart classes at Nimble Thimble. I ended up making 3 of these towels because they make great gifts!
Anna's Music Bag
This is Anna's music bag for piano in the fall. She was so excited to see it! (Font: Curlz)
Tea Towels Make Great Gifts!
This tea towel came all the way from Canton. Laura bought it for a friend for her birthday. The monogram makes it personal!
Sewing With Christie
I knew who Christie was because she is a Stampin Up! consultant and because her kids/my kids attend Grace Community. So, when I saw her at Nimble Thimble we became fast friends. Christie made this tea towel "Give A Hoot!" as one of her first creations at Art to Heart. I was extremely jealous because she did an awesome job! I've completed several little projects and hers still looked better than mine! :) Because Christie has helped me on so many projects, I monogrammed her towel for her. Loved it!
Emma's Pillowcase
I wanted Emma to have something monogrammed since I monogrammed Anna's bag. Bayli and Blake picked out the fabric for her pillowcase. They wanted to capture the theme of soccer along with a fun and whimsical pattern.
Sewing Lessons???
I don't think so! :) When Megan came to see me before she went back to A&M in January, she did not know how to sew. So I thought! After showing her a few techniques and familiarizing her with my sewing machine, we made a pillowcase. It was sooo cute! Imagine: black damask and turquoise. I monogrammed it for her mom, Kay. Megan left my house WITH homework. You can't take a class without homework. :) Kay emailed me a few hours after I gave her homework...and she had already FINISHED it!! Before I knew it Kay emailed me and told me that Megan had been sewing and sewing and sewing! She made 5-6 pillowcases and who knows what else! I then receive this pic. from Kay. LOOK!!!! Is this apron not ADORABLE????? Megan, you have a talent that just needed to be unleashed! I'm soooo proud of you!!! Look at the ruffle!!!! You ROCK!!! Maybe I need to take lessons from YOU!
Great Graduation Gifts!
Choose from chocolate brown, bright orange, or hot pink ($24.00) ***monogrammed, of course!
My TOTAL FAVE!!!
I have had several people who wanted tea towels that were not so Christmasy so that the recipients could leave it out all year. This is what I created this morning! I am thankful to have a husband who likes to cook because he has cooked the whole Thanksgiving meal. I kind of feel bad about that, but I sure have had fun creating!!
Ruby and Lily are going to be sew happy!
Are these pillowcases not yummy?!? I am going to have to look into this minkie fabric very soon. You probably can't tell, but this fabric is the softest fabric I have ever laid my hands on! I want one of these pillows for ME for Christmas!!!
Fabulous Blankets!!
Wouldn't you love to curl up with this blanket on a blustery night like we are having tonight? LOVE these cool blankets!! You can purchase them at Old Navy or Kohl's for less than $10 and I can monogram it for a personal touch. What a fabulous Christmas gift!!
I love this green blanket with a black monogram!!! Soo Cute!
Don't forget about your boys! They love blankets, too!

I have ordered 15 towel wraps. (chocolate, hot pink, and bright orange) I have already sold 8 of them and they are not even here yet. I will get them this week.

This is totally out of my realm of intelligence. Yes, I am creating a blogspot. I am creating this site so that you can follow me in my newly found creative journey. Monogramming! Ever since I can remember I loved receiving personalized gifts. My grandmother, Mam-maw, would personalize everything that she bought me. When long white socks were in in the 70's, she would have my name monogrammed on the cuff in every color. She had several (3 to be exact) blankets made for me that were monogrammed and that added many personal messages. Can you believe I still sleep with my yellow blanket? If I get brave I will upload a picture of it!
