Here We Go!

Here we go with my first attempt at blogging!  I've been thinking about it for a while and trying to decide if I should go with the blog or a website to showcase my embroidery.  Since I like to spend so much time creating gifts and embroidering I finally decided to start with the blog.  Hopefully one day soon I will transition into my website itspersonaldesigns.com.  Until then we'll have to see how the blogging goes.

I'm feeling so much more organized now since my husband, with a lot of help from the neighborhood gang, built me two great tables for crafting.  Now if I can keep the little girls out of the room long enough to keep it clean I will post a picture. 

I spent most of the fall creating items for our neighborhood holiday vendor fair but since we are well past that time of year I thought I should start my blog with some of my Valentine Day gifts.  Some of my favorite new items are created with covered buttons.  They can be put on giant paper clips that can be used to gather papers or mark your page in a book.  I also use buttons to make magnetic clips that can stick on your fridge or a file cabinet.





These are for my neice for Valentine's Day

They can also be made with just an initial





Remember, it's personal!  Initials, symbols and words can all be personalized along with fabric color choices and thread color choices.  A set of 4 bookmarks can be purchased for $8.  Just let me know your color and design choice at itspersonaldesign@gmail.com
