A Creative Endeavor

Tuesday brought about a small period of time when I could use some creative skills.  Prior to Mom getting sick, I had been working on some machine embroidery designs for  my neighbors.  They have a small store and sell the best homemade ice cream in town - and maybe in the state.  They also have helped me out with many things and I am doing this as  a "Thank You" to them.

Using some software that I have had for a long time and only recently got to work for me, I created the lettering.  (The software is Embroidery Fonts Plus and it is a free download.) I had asked them what they wanted and it was pretty simple - just words, no pictures.
They also brought me a shirt for each of them on which to embroider the design.

Please note, these shirts haven't been washed after embroidering.  And they look better in person than in the photo.

The larger design is the one he chose.  The smaller one was her choice

.  I learned a bit more about hooping for a logo design on a t-shirt 

while I was getting ready to do these.  

I am pretty happy with the results.

Not a lot going on in my creative world right now.  I did hem a pair of pants on the sewing machine, but I didn't take a picture.

Update -Good News!

I am very happy to report that my Mom was released from the hospital and is resting at home. Life is GOOD.  Thank you for you prayers, warm thoughts and understanding.

I will still be less present since I will be with her more now, but LIFE is Good!
