What I made for her. What I made for me.

This is what I made Avia this year for Christmas, minus the headband I already shared because her brother opened early for her. She loves unicorns. I embroidered this shirt for. She said, "I love it even if the unicorn does look kind of fat."

I think the chub is cute myself. The rainbow hair was fun to sew. I wish it showed up better in the picture. Need a new camera.

She got her ears pierced earlier this year. Cute girly fabric + embroidery hoop = perfectly cute earring holder. 


I just finished my Christmas present to myself. I didn't start it until after Christmas but that is beside the point.  
My friend gave me this hoodie years ago. It came to her from some mystery source. Less of a mystery. More that I do not remember. She gave it to me because she didn't like it. I never like it either because there was a big pimp, gold-toothed, skull on the front. You read that right. Complete with the feathered hat and all. 

I was going to get rid of it but I've always liked its fit and feel. I decided to up-cycle it. I was going to include a before picture but I didn't really want to put pimp skull on my page. 

It was a fun project, good practice, and a little shameless self-promotion never hurt anyone...maybe...I think...hope. 

Avia called it my uniform hoodie for my company. The husband said it is very "me" which it is and I hope that is a good thing. I call it warm.
