Birthdays and Aprons too!

My grandson’s birthday party came and went really quickly. He enjoyed a visit from Elmo and opening his wonderful birthday gifts. But not only did we celebrate the 3 year old’s special day, but his mom’s too.

 My daughter-in-law’s special day is August 19^th and since that will be a very busy time (she starts law school the following day), she got her birthday gifts early.

Two of the gifts I gave her were a set of aprons. I bought these blanks at Michaels and Hobby Lobby and used my Brother Embroidery Machine to make them special. These designs came from the Embroidery Library, online. My daughter-in-law is the owner of the blog “Will Cook for Smiles.” She is also participating in a photography course sponsored by Sears. Through that class she got a brand new giant grill! She loaned the “Grill It” apron to my son, but she does intend to be the “Grill Master” of the family.

Wearing Elmo!

 He is almost 3 and in love with Elmo. Isn't my grandson adorable! I have to machine embroider him another shirt, white cotton will be a much cooler and comfortable shirt!

Elmo T-Shirts for a Birthday Boy

I just discovered my little grandson is in love with Elmo! One day while he and my daughter-in-law were visiting a park, a birthday party was underway , featuring that well known Sesame Street celebrity, Elmo! Well, seeing Elm in the flesh or shall we say fur, was too much for the boy! He couldn't contain himself. The boy wasn't a guest at the party, but he ran to Elmo and kissed and hugged him and was none too happy about leaving this funny fuzzy creature either.

That's when an idea popped into my wonderful daughter-in-law's head...her son will turn 3 in August with an Elmo party! You have to see her blog at  http://www.willcookforsmiles.com and all the things she is planning around her theme for my grandson.

In case you aren't familiar with Elmo, check out the T-shirts I machine embroidered for my hubby and the birthday boy!

 I practiced the machine embroidery on a shirt for my hubby first! Of course, when I went to take the picture, he started to mess around making funny faces!

 I actually did two small blue children's shirt, since a baby relative turned 2 years old this month. Maybe he likes Elmo too! If not now maybe later!
