Coffee Mugs - vinyl

Here is another holiday gift. It is hard to show the whole name but the
beautiful hand model is my niece B and her coffee mug I personalized with
her name. (I forgot to take a pic before I gave it to her so she graciously
took one and sent it to me. Yeah! B! Thank you!) I tried to use the highest
tack possible for the mug. But Who knows how long it will last. We shall
see. I am not sold on doing more for the future. It was very hard to put on
the mug so I used Green frog tape on the letters rather then transfer tape
and I also used the Conical Warp in Make the Cut for the First time. I
cheated though and typed out the letters and tweaked them in Illustrator
first. I love my illustrator.

Well just wanted to share. And for those asking. Yes there will be another
QMC it will start in February and it should be a whopper wait til I tell you
the rest woohoo!

Have a wonderful day!
Enjoy!

Team Jacob Bag - HTV

**Update ** H&H has the Siser Easy Weed Pack on Sale for the month of January I believe. If you want to try some.

My second HTV project was a gift for Christmas. I used one of the files from my friend Lori. I alterered it slightly so I wouldn't have overlapping Heat Transfer Vinyl Material. My niece is super int Team Jacob. The first one is without rhinestones and the second is with. I got the bag on clearance with a few others for cheap. I love the ease of Heat Transfer Vinyl. I am not sure why I waited so long I loved it and my niece loved it as well. If you want Lori's Team Jacob file she has it in the store here.

I just wanted to share as I downloaded photos today from the camera and the holidays.

have a wonderful day!

Enjoy!

First Sewing endeavor...

Okay so I am not a fantastic sewer I would even put myself just below well kinda sewer. I tend to pull it out when I am done looking for something I like that would work for home decor. I can say fabric does not seem cheaper then buying a finished product. so for me it is purely a ... I want this... and don't like that!. haha. I have sewn a cover for a bench, window coverings, pillow coverings and even shown a friend or two how to sew a fancy pillow with fringe. Well in my last "I want this" adventure I was spear headed by my son who wanted camo covering his closet. My son's closet is slightly offsize of a standard set of doors. And it would be a rebuild to use a standard door. I am done looking at the mess of toys. So I decided to buy a shower curtain rod that is brown and some hooks and huge amounts of camo to make the "curtains" for the closet. So we went to the store and looked and looked (Picture of the curtains at another time. Came out quite nice I must say) anyways. my son saw this fabric he just had to have. Very "red baron snoopy-esque" and we brought home a yard of it. after I was done with the curtains. the sewing machine sat on the table with a curiouser and curiouser little boy. So finally he said. can I? I said yep. I sat next to him and worked on some lists and had him run the whole deal in as "straight" a line as possible to make the pillow out of his loved fabric. Which he did and then proclaimed a serious concern... WE SEWED It inside out!!! AGHHHHHH!! Mom Mom. I laughed and said you flip it inside out and stuff it that is why we left a little hole. He stuffed it and helped me sew the little bit more difficult seam to close it and asked when he could go to the fabric store again. Very cute very fun and he thinks it was pretty cool. So yeah! I love it. Had to share. (and yes that is a puppy sleeping underneath it)

Oh and here is a picture of a very cute little terror running through our house. I asked him if he had emptied his food bowl on the floor again and this was the look I got. Ahh yep... he did. totally cute!
Enjoy your day!
