Introducing..

Sweet Southern Monograms...

Thanks to Natalie over at Team Imhoff for helping me come up with the cute, creative name to call my little embroidery business. (Natalie: Let's chat about what kind of things you would love to have embroidered with your monogram and I will get that too you soon!)

I will be showcasing new items as soon as I can get them completed, photographed and posted.

If you are interested in having me embroider something for you, leave me a comment or send me an email and we get talk about creating one of a kind, unique items.

Now, I hope to convince my husband to make a website/blog to keep separate from the personal one.... JP -- I know you are reading this...

Don't Forget..

Leave me a comment on this post to be entered for a one of a kind gift made by me. Just leave a comment with a creative name for all things embroidered by me.



Comments will be reviewed and decided upon on Saturday, January 30 by 12pm.

Toodles!

Winter Weather 2010...

Seriously, this weather forecast needs to be 100% wrong.



From the latest forecast I heard, 6-8 inches of snow are headed our way in just a few short hours. I couldn't be more over it.



I am scheduled to have my first embroidery machine lesson and if the weather does what it supposed to, then the class will be pushed back. I have already had this little dandy for a while and not even tried to figure out how to use it...



Please snow gods... keep your snow...

Spoiled Rotten..

That is one way you could describe me. I was so spoiled this year at Christmas to receive a gift I am excited about. For a while now, I have been wanting an embroidery machine. Well, I got it!


Here she is!

With the machine, I received free one on one classes. I have my first class on Wednesday night and am so excited to learn how to use it.

I can see it now... my monogram on EVERYTHING!!!

Stay tuned for an update...

Introducing Smooches..

Ya'll, I am so excited.  I have something that I want to share with everyone. 

Not to long ago, I bought this little beauty: 

It is a Brother CE-5000 Project Runway sewing machine.  

I had little experience with a sewing machine -- let alone, a needle and thread!  But I have been practicing and guess what--- I can sew!! And I am pretty good at it. 

Back to the announcement.  I have decided to sell a few of my creations.  I will be doing a lot of blankets, taggies, burb towels, changing pads and a few little girl tutus at first.  Why? Because I love babies and there are so many option with these items!

My line will be called *smooches* and soon, I will have an Etsy shop open.  If you have any questions, want to see some of my things, please email me at southerngirlnortherncity@gmail.com and I will be happy to send you some information.  We can even work together to come up with a creation you like! 

Over the next few weeks, I will be showcasing some of the things I am working on.  Keep an eye out and let me know what ya'll think of my things!
