Embroidery on my new embroidery machine is pretty slow. I mean, not like hand embroidery-slow, but still pretty slow. I'm making a Baby Bunting for Kim's baby, according to the "pattern" at the link below. It's a good chance for me to try out the embroidery on my machine. I'm doing a bunch of Halloween designs and the baby's name because he's supposed to be a Halloween baby (due Oct. 28th or so)... unfortunately I don't really like Halloween designs that much... I think I'd be enjoying this more if I was embroidering flowers or something. Oh well. My mom wants me to also make a little something personalized for each of my other two nephews as they will be along with their mother for the shower. I'm not really sure what though... I mean, I've got lots of frog and bug designs that I know they would love, but I'm not sure what to put them on. I want it to be something easy to make, and I want to put their names on them... but I'm not sure what, I was thinking of t-shirts, but lots of people think kids shouldn't wear clothes with their names on it for fear of getting abducted. Frankly I think my sister is too protective of her boys to let them out of her sight long enough to get, but that probably also means she wouldn't want them wearing t-shirts with their names on them. Perhaps my mom will have an alternate idea. I also want to make something for Kim that would just be for her... because that would be an excellent chance for me to use the pretty flower fairy designs I have, which I know she will like. But again, I don't know what... I was thinking of a diaper bag, but if I'm also making things for the other two children, that might be biting off a bit more than I can chew before September 23rd when I fly out for the baby shower.
