I've been monogramming...

It's definitely been a learning experience! I have made many mistakes and have learned from all of them, hopefully. Most everything has turned out pretty cute, and I love the different fonts we've found!





































I have to laugh about this now, but it was very frustrating at the time! As it was sewing, I was thinking, "WOW, this is looking great! No pulling, no stretching, no looping! I did a really good job on this one." Yeah, then I took it off the machine and tried to take the hoop out...and realized that I had sewn the back to the front!!! UGHHH!!

Then I asked her who it was, and she said "dada"...sorry Michael!

Get Ready to Shop!





Rebecca, Emily, and I are getting the last few things done while our build-out is being completed! Hopefully we will have our doors open in less than a month. We are working on a website, a blog, and our email list. If you would like to be on our mailing list, send your email address to smittengifts@gmail.com. I have spent the past week learning how to monogram and I've had so much fun downloading new graphics and fonts. Here's my latest project:
