I WON!

If you are a faithful blog reader, you surely know that I use alphabets from 8 Claws and a Paw on many of my projects. I submitted pictures of my items for their Project Showcase, and my name was drawn for the monthly subscription giveaway! WOO-HOO!!
I am in the process of downloading the alphabets that have been recently added to their site, and it will take me FOREVER to unzip all these delightful files. But now I will have over 200 fonts to wade through whenever I have a new project in mind. (In reality, this really is more overwhelming than helpful! HA!)
Take a look at all my options!
THANKS JULIE!!!

While I'm at it, let me share something else...

Right after Dashiell was born, I made mini wall hangings that spell out his name as a decoration for his room.

The monkey/letter designs are from OregonPatchWorks. When I was finished, I submitted pictures for the Customer Projects Corner of their weekly Embroidery Newsletter.
My project was immediately met with great enthusiasm! Jackie of OPW asked me to write directions for how I made the individual wall hangings, with pictures showing each step. Well, I was already done with all the letters of Dashiell's name, so I created another little wall hanging to use on his door. I used the same letter d design, but I deleted the duck and added the text instead (using Embird Alphabet #2). As I stitched it out, I took pictures of each step.

I've waited all this time to post a picture of it (I wanted it to be a surprise to Kathy who also subscribes), but it was never mentioned in the weekly newsletter. I can only imagine how many amazing submissions they get each week!! However, the pdf that Carlin created for me is now available for download on the OPW Member's Only Club!
