What do you do in January when your still in the holiday mood and there were so many wonderful projects you didn’t get time to do before December 25th?
Keep on CRAFTING!!
In a perfect world I was going to do a week long Christmas in July, but then again I don’t live in a perfect world. This will be my third time writing this post. Yep. Third time’s a charm!
I wrote this post the first time only to come home from work at two in the morning (working a concert) to see the Hubs on my computer. I asked him what the weird noise was on my computer. He quietly answered, “Oh, nothing” and then shut down the computer fast. It wasn’t till the next morning that I realized that the coward {lol} got a serious virus on my computer! Lost everything.
The second time I wrote this post I lost everything again, only a few short months later, to a bad storm storm in May! ugh
Feeling a little nostalgic and wishing I keep my kids little forever, I was inspired by Sugar Bee Crafts Handprint Holiday Pillow. Of course her pillow is so cute with the little hands and my kids are not so little anymore. Boo hoo
Who doesn’t love to see their name embroidered?
Certainly my kiddos are no exception.
I even embroidered the date on the back.
Oh, look at those mitered corners! It’s all about the details, baby!! ha ha

I love this idea! How cute. I must do this with the little ones handprints.. now! ha-ha
ReplyDeleteYour pillow turned out fantastic. Those corners are awesome, girl! The date on the back is a good idea, too.
You've inspired me to make one!
Amazing works and pillows Carri, I like it! Very creative work!

I'm so so envious of the sewing skills you have! Pillow looks fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could sew! I can barely sew a button on! I love that pillow! I loved my fall handprint trees so much I am doing another family craft night and we are going to do a handprint Christmas tree! I may not sew, but I can paint a handprint like a crazy woman!!!
ReplyDeletePoor little post! But so glad you finally got to share this - the pillow is so darling! Wish I had my little grand daughter close by to make her one! You'll cherish for years and your embroidery work is very nice! ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for popping in to see me.
be a sweetie,
Shelia ;)

OMG, Carrie ... fabulous! I love the details and am so impressed by your embroidery skills! I'd love to make one with Jax's handprint ... alas, I'm afraid of how it will turn out. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWhat a sweet idea for a gift for mom or grandma! Thanx for sharing...Tiff
ReplyDeleteCarrie, This is so beautiful. I am assuming that is their real hand print?
ReplyDeleteSo neat. So glad the computer didn't crash this time. Blessings, Ginger
Oh wow. This is just so nice and so special.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful job with the pillow! I can sympathize with the technical difficulties, only I'm dealing with them with my camera. I love how you embroidered the date on the back, too. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThis is so sweet, Carrie. I'm delighted you joined Potpourri Friday and hope you make it a weekly party stop!
