Designing Again

But not scrapbooking things this time around. . .

My sister has an Etsy shop where she sells embroidery designs (that you purchase and then sew on your own project with an embroidery machine). After seeing some things she had for sale, my mind started churning with ideas. I couldn't sleep. Ideas poured out. So I started sketching (and sketching and sketching). Since I'm not a real artist, my little drawings left much to be desired, but I sent her a dozen or so papers covered with sketches and ideas and notes and jibber jabber. It was amazing she was able to pull anything from those sketchy things, but she did. Here are a few that have generated from what I sent her.

Just a note about the birthday one, it is a birthday count down calendar that you make from a muffin tin with the embroidery designs put on magnets. It's not been a favorite of shoppers, but it's definitely one of my favorites!

If interested, check out her entire shop. Hopefully I'll catch a slower spell soon so I can curl up with my sketch book again. Too fun for me!

Super cute! Glad you had a chance to let the creative juices flow. (Maybe you could send some of that creativity my way?)

I have always loved the birthday countdown Darcie! Could I buy one from you?
