Thanks to my "sister-in-law", Andrea, I was reminded of my old sewing days BEFORE all the embroidery. She recently requested this pillow for a baby boy. I had fun coordinating the fabrics and getting back to "basic" sewing.<br />

I have done alphabet letter pillows in the past, as well as more decorative pillows embellished with home decor fabrics, fringe, piping, etc. I'll have to dig those "old fashioined" pictures out and scan them to my blog so you can see!</div>

I've already got orders for "baptism/christening" pillows! Even one for a teacher made from the school colors! Clever!!</div>

Although it may take longer to feel a weather change here in Houston! It also means an end to the mayhem! By the end of the school year, I'm SICK of routines, but come August, I'm DESPERATE for structure again! This year also sends my youngest to "real" school! Kindergarten! She's been ready for years, and couldn't wait to ride the bus with her big brother and neighborhood friends! She's been the send off and welcome committee at the bus stop since birth!<br />

I don't know how to make a web-site... YET! I thought I could certainly figure out how to "blog"! I mean, it's just typing and journaling, and posting it to the internet, for ALL to see! I can do that!<br /><br />I want to use this as a means to show off some of my "wares" that I make; mostly crafty stuff, but now that I have an embroidery machine, my world has gotten BIGGER! I'm not limited to hand painting names on pillows!<br /><br />The name "EmmaLemmaLou", came from a nickname my husband gave to our first born; Emma Louise. He even made it into a song, but just READING the lyrics, wouldn't do it justice. You'll have to wait til I can figure out how to download a video to this blog! Maybe tomorrow...<br />-30-Karen M.
