Happy Wednesday, everyone!

Well, really hoping the new background color on this blog is easier on the eyes when reading text.  Jake and I are still working out the quirks and we love, love, love feedback so, by all means, have at it!!!

Today I thought I would share another idea for a wedding gift that I made for another cousin's son last year.  Much bigger but along the same lines and, also, with their particular color scheme...

Now for some close-ups...

 

If you have a wedding coming up, you can always write to me and together we can customize a kit for you to make in your bride's particular color scheme and size in which you would like your handmade gift to them.

If you are pressed for time and I happen to have the time, perhaps I can even stitch one up for you myself!!!  No promises, of course, but you never know when you'll catch me at a down time or I just need a break from the biz hussle bussle! lol

I love to sew as much as I love to design!

A Wedding Gift...

Wanted to share with you the wedding gift I made for my cousins son last weekend and, of course, a photo of the lovely couple!!!

This was started by knowing that his wife-to-be was very much into a being a princess ever since she was a little girl.  THAT was a real GIFT for great inspiration! LOL!  

So, the first thing I came across were these adorable buttons to use... 

Was that a lucky find, or what???!!!

Okay, so next, I had to make a little wedding cake for them with their theme color which was pink!

So, the size had to be appropriate for the buttons but also I thought it might be nice if I made it a pocket, too, to hold the very sweet wedding invitation they sent us all, which I will show you later.

For now, here is the beginning stage of our gift...

,

Since the wedding invitation was pink and had a pretty little crystal rhinestone on it, I decided to use some rhinestones in the design and since there was pink in the cake, I had to come up with another color for the background that wouldn't   take away from the pink, yet still went with the theme.  This purple seemed to work.  Then I pulled the thread colors from it all.

So now...drum roll please...the finished project!!!...

                    ...and here is the wedding invitation to fit inside the pocket..

Below are just some of the details of the embroidered writing I wanted to include for memory sake with the date, of course...

...and just like a quilt, I was taught YOU MUST ALWAYS sign your work!!!...

...and now here is the adorable couple themselves...

 Princess Rebecca and Prince Mark

...we wish you both the very BEST that God has to offer!!!!...

Welcome!

Hi Fellow Penny Rugger's!!!  This is my first attempt at writing on a blog so please, please bear with me as I slowly get used to it! lol I'm looking forward to sharing so much with you that I don't even know where to start but there is no time like the present, especially when your son is home from college to help! ;)

We are still in the figuring-out-the-design stage, obviously, so hopefully it will get nicer and more informative as we go.

For now, thank you for joining me on this learning curve.  I hope I can eventually make it very special for you!!!
