Christy's Birthday Gift




This sewing box is what I made for my youngest daughter Christy. She loved it!
The pin cushion is attched to the lid. And I put in a pair of bird scissors in a case. Everything she would need to do any minding job. I'm really enjoying my embroidery machine.

Payton's Birthday Gift


I have been working on this for set 3 weeks, a little every afternoon. It is a fabric tea set made in the hoop on my new embroidery sewing machine. It is a setting for 4 with 4 plates, 4 saucers, 4 cups, the tea pot, sugar bowl, creamer, the box in the center containers 4 teabags and 4 sugar packets. Not shown is 6 cookies in a bag.
The set is for my great granddaughter Payton who will be 2 on Saturday.
For those that would like to buy the pattern here is the site address; I increased the Pattern 150% and the sugar and creamer only 125% I did this because the set is a miniture and I wanted it to be normal sized.

Tea Party

       My sweet great granddaughters turned 14 this year, they are cousins born in the same month 2 weeks apart and they love being with each other.
We always have a Tea Birthday Party every year. This year we wore Fascinators. The menu for the Party; The tea was Green cherry blossom. and a flowering green tea in a clear glass pot. 
Tea sandwiches, Homemade Pimento cheese, Egg salad, Peanut butter and Orange Marmalade, Deviled eggs.  For desert; Fancy cookies, Chocolate covered strawberries and Cupcakes.
  I asked this year if they were getting to old for tea party and the said no they love it. That made this grandma very happy because I love it to!
 This year the party favor is a fabric tea cup, if you look close they are setting on the plates in front of them, inside is a matching teabag that held money for them to go shopping.
 Next year I hope to take the girls to the big city Charlotte or Raleigh to have High tea for their birthday, that would be so fun. All these years I have been trying to teach them manners and etiquette so I'm sure they will be comfortable in a formal setting.
