UFO's 2011n0

Last year left me with a TON of UFO's. I am the type of person that will get excited to start a project only to get side tracked and put it aside. I then see another project that I have to start and the other one never gets done.

Well, my goal for 2011 is to finish some of the unfinished projects from previous years. (there are tons!)

Little by little, I will finish up the projects.

More Hooded Bath Towels

I have been busy making hooded towels. Some are for orders and others to put into my Etsy shop.

This one is for an order

And this one is for her brother


So, how many of you have a Brother SE-270D? Don't you just hate the threading system? I had been having a heck of a time trying to get the machine threaded. It just would not catch and thread the needle. So, my dh came up with the idea of taking the thread through the steps but NOT cutting it at the end but instead, pull it up and hold it at the top of the threader. Then when you put it down into the machine, it seems to catch and thread better then if you cut the thread. Does this makes sense lol? I will try to take photos so you can see what I mean.

At any rate, I absolutely love the machine (other then the threader) and no longer feel like tossing it out the window!

Off to sew some more towels :)

Hooded Bath Towels

I have been making hooded bath towels for a while but just recently was able to add applique to them. Both of my embroidery machines were not working properly but DH managed to fix them and I am back up and running.

This little hedgehog came from Planet Applique


This cute penguin was also from planet applique


Both are available in my Etsy shop!

Scentsy Wickless Candles

I have just recently found the Scentsy products and OMG do they smell awesome! I had my rep bring over a basket party for me to have at my husbands transmission business. Our shop has never smelled so good! I just cannot get over how just a couple of small wax pieces can make the entire office smell like homeade sugar cookies.

If you have never seen Scentsy, you can browse the product at https://47009.scentsy.us (this is my rep) or you can add in your zip code to find a rep near you. I am having a basket party so anyone interested in placing an order through my party, just send me an email at apluspalmer@aol.com and I will let you know what to do!

Owl Towel

So my embroidery machine (brother 750D) has been broken for some time. Or so I thought lol! I bought some prewound bobbins and my machine works like a charm! I guess this machine just does not like certain bobbin thread.

Anyway, I saw these adorable towels on one of my favorite blogs Coles Corner and Creations. I found the design here at TigerLilyHill Embroidery and stitched it out last night. I love the way it stitched out and am so glad my machine is working again!!



Happy Stitching!
