It's probably silly of me to even attempt this as busy as I am. I won't be adding much, if anything, else until life slows down a bit, but I was curious to see if this generate any interest.
We'll see!

Burp Cloths
I realized that I have posted very few of my sewing pics on here. I'm gonna try to get a lot of them posted in the next few days. Seems I posted most everything to Facebook. I'm trying to do MUCH less Facebooking and get back to some real blogging.
The flowers in the pic below came from the Flower Power Alphabet by Julia's Needle Designs. I din't love the J from that font, so I just used the J from Curlz font that I purchased form Jolson's Designs.

The polka dot frame was free from Five Star Fonts. You can find it HERE. The square frame below is the same frame, I just stopped the machine when it had completed the frame. You should check out their FREE designs. There are lots of neat goodies there.
I got the Curlz J with embellishments free from the Sew Crazie Designs Yahoo Group.
I cannot remember where I got the applique W, but the transportation frame was free from Embroidery RN.
I made these quite a while ago, so I'm having trouble remembering where I got all of the designs.
I have Personalize N Stitch, so a lot of my fonts come from there. I do know that the frames on the bottom three pics all came from THIS set from Jolson's Designs. Jolson's has a lot of fonts and all of their designs are $3.00.
Labels
I spent a good bit of time working on my labels this morning. Hopefully my blog is now more organized and will be easier for people to find posts on particular subjects. I'll try to do a better job of keeping them up.
Homemade Eye Make-up Remover
We have allowed our girls to begin to wear a small amount of make-up. I bought them a good waterproof mascara. When they took their showers last night they both came out with raccoon eyes. I had recently given the only eye make-up remover that I had away, so I began to look online for homemade recipes. I'm trying to make more stuff like this out of natural things, to help us avoid chemicals. This was one of the easiest things I've done yet. I modified what I found online a tiny bit and it worked FABULOUSLY.
All you do is mix equal parts canola oil and olive oil (you can also just use olive oil). I mixed 1 Tbsp. of each oil and added 1 drop of lemongrass oil for scent, but you could totally skip the added scent, I just like my stuff to smell good. Put it on a piece of cotton, gently wipe it over your eye, repeat until there is no residue coming off on the cotton. Then was your face as usual. Works great to get the make-up off and to moisturize the area around your eyes.
