New appliques and gift ideas

It's been a while since I've updated anything - in the meantime I have some new appliques I've ordered, but haven't gotten a chance to try them all yet. Plus, I've gotten lots of new fabric just waiting for a project! Here's just a sampling of a few things I've done lately, and another snowman & snowflake - although we're almost past that time of year now. I also have several new valentine designs, but I still have one more to do, so I'll hopefully post that later this weekend.
I really like the new circle initial design - It can be personalized with fabric for girls or boys - and would be great for sibling shirts too. (It's one of the few designs that my husband has labeled "cool" for boys!)This one is a great year round design for boys! This is done on a hooded sweatshirt for the winter.This is a cute birthday shirt - with any number/name combo.
Burp cloths - cute girly & spring designs. I've said it before, but this little bird is one of my favorites!!These backpacks are the cutest thing! They're from Hobby Lobby and are only $8.99, plus they are frequently on sale at 50% off or you can always use a coupon - so they make a cute and very affordable baby or birthday gift. They come in pink or blue as shown.

Ho Ho Ho and Snowmen

These two cute Santas I did for two of my favorite babies celebrating their first Christmas this year.
Here are examples of several snowmen, done in coordinating green & blue/pink for matching brother & sister shirts.
This ornament, done on a red shirt, can be really cute with an initial in the middle for girls. These last two shirts were for a friend - the first is a simple name shirt done in coordinating browns & pinks and the second is a cute preteen applique monogram example.

Tractors & Trucks

With all my recent orders, I finally squeezed in some time to make some shirts for my own kids. I love this little tractor patch, just for something different than the typical tractor - done in coordinating (not identically matching) fabrics since my husband doesn't always like our kids to match! I really like this green/brown/orange color combination for the fall - I'm going to have trouble not making all my boy designs in these colors!

Here's another new tow truck - very time consuming because of all the colors & details, but it's so cute when it's done.

Finally, here's my first snowman, of many, for this holiday season. I have several different snowman designs and would have to say this guy wasn't my favorite (my friend picked him out for her son's shirt) but I like him now that he's done - especially on the red shirt. I hope she likes him for her little guy!
