Coffee-themed Bookmarks

I finished the coffee-themed bookmarks.  Yay!  I plan to sell them.  I'm not sure what I should ask for them.  I still have to get them laminated.  I get them laminated at Staples for a few bucks. Hopefully I can do that on Saturday or Monday.  They turned out very nicely, I think.  I just picked some floss colors I wanted to work with and matched the cardstock to them.  Unlike regular embroidery you just use one strand of floss in Dutch Embroidery.  They don't cost much to make, just the time involved.  These are the first 8.  I will probably make 8 more.  I tape the front to the back with double-sided tape.  You have to do something like that to cover up the thread and the tape in back.  I'm really happy with these, even if there are a few mistakes.

Coffee Themed Apron Update!

Last weekend while watching episode after episode of Smallville, I had plenty of time to embroider.  I have all three big motifs on the coffee themed apron done and I've started on the little motifs.  The funny thing is, when I'm stressed I love to embroider, but when I'm relaxed, like I have been the last few days, I find other things to do.  Not one person commented on the blue musical tote on my creativity websites. :(  I guess they are used to me posting embroidery by now. I'd like to embroider one of those long half aprons that waiters wear for my brother.  Does anyone know where I can get one, not online?  I'm thinking maybe the Cash & Carry in Olympia might have some aprons.  So here are the pics!

And ice cream cones, in progress:

Musical Tote

I finished my friend Janet's musical tote bag!

 I also ordered 1000 yards of DMC thread from Herrschner's. It came unsorted.  Not sure what I will do with the colors.  It was kind of an experiment.
