adventures in embroidery

I have recently realized that I love getting Better Homes & Gardens magazine and that I love to peruse craft blogs. However, I really did not have an avenue for allowing my inner craftiness out. So, I decided I wanted not just a sewing machine, but a sewing and embroidery machine. And my wonderful husband did not so much as bat an eyelash when I informed him that I wanted said machine. So one HSN video later, and I fell in love with the Singer SES 1000 (kinda sounds like a car)! With some moral support from my mom, I went straight to embroidering:










 So I started with burp cloths...




















 
Then tried bibs...




































Next was towels, totes and onesies after that...






Beach bags for my sis-n-laws.







This was a graduation present for Erica's sister.




















Onesies for a few baby showers/late baby gifts (I'm a little behind on my gift giving)

 



















 























So, after one botched bib and two botched onesies and some help from my friend Julie, I think I am getting the hang of this!
