New projects!

Hi guys!  It's been way too long since I've posted!  About 3 weeks ago, things went INSANE at work, my Etsy store and business picked up big time and I discovered 24 hours in a day wasn't enough to do it all!

We've had two of us doing the work of four and I've been working a lot of overtime.  The paychecks will be nice, but I'm done!  We have a new person starting in 3 weeks, so the countdown is on.  All this overtime would have been tolerable on its own....but for some reason, I got a gazillion orders and projects during this time as well.  Now, I'm not complaining about God blessing my business.  I am just tired!

Since I haven't had time to craft for myself and post, I thought I'd at least share some pics of what I've been doing....



My co-worker asked me to make this "faux" ticket for her to give her dad on his birthday.  She and her sisters got him tickets to the Lakers/Thunder game and this was how they told him.  What a cute idea!  I would have never thought of that I totally enjoyed it.  I laminated it so he could keep it.  She said he loved it!

I also did several Easter baskets.  I forgot to take pictures of a couple, but here are two of them.

Please ignore the bad pics... I took them at my desk at work.


This is an Easter basket for a very sweet, lovely young lady.


 She loves horses and wants to grow up to be a vet. 


Her mom chose the colors to match her room, so she could use the basket after Easter.


This is for her brother, Trey.  He loves super heroes and his favorite is Batman.

One last project...


I made several personalized bunnies for Easter.  This was for a co-worker to mail to her niece.

I have several other projects to share, but not today.

Hugs,
Cheryl

Happy Heart Day!

Happy Heart Day, folks!  I have been far from blogland lately, but I'm trying to make my way back.  I got a heat press.  OMG!  I love it.  How did I ever live without it?  

Needless to say, I've been playing a lot.  (And happily working a lot on orders!)  I have several things to share with you.....


I've seen these little bags all over the FB groups I belong to, so I figured why not try them?  I got the bags at Michael's and the hearts from Dollar Tree.  I hadn't seen any with a religious twist, but when I saw this phrase online, I knew I had to do it.


In each bag, I put 5 red hearts and 5 pink hearts. It's a little hard to see, but the arrow is glitter vinyl.  Sooooo pretty!  I love it.

When I ordered my heat press, I got a deal where I ended up with quite a few colors of HTV (heat transfer vinyl) and this is my first try at glitter.  A word or advice - You need a sharp blade to get a good cut on the glitter HTV.  This brand (Siser) is really thick.  It cut very well, but took a few tries to get the right blade settings on my Silhouette.

I'll show you one more project for today...


I made these for my hubby for valentines day!  They are boxer briefs.  I saw this idea online and couldn't help myself.  Now, I will say I made two more pair, but they were a little risque, so I decided not to share them here so as not to offend anyone!  But, hey, I'm married - it's legal!  LOL!

Anyway, I'm just having a fantastic time with this new toy.  I'm sure I'll share more heat projects soon.

Toodles!
