WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO TEAM USA!!
Okay, maybe I am going overboard a little but I thought this picture was too cute…

When I signed-up for this event I thought I had some clever ideas about what to make. Maybe a dress or a hair clip. But if you know me then you know my  mind quickly thinks outside of the box and I thought that since this is the OLYMPICS an all and I live the KANSAS CITY area (home to this years MLB ALL STAR GAME) I figured what better time to finally write a tutorial on how to make a BASEBALL CUFF BRACELET. Here are2 that I made way back when…And here is the latest addition the ALL STAR EDITION, complete with custom embroidery on the inside of the cuff. So do you want to make a baseball cuff?? 
This tutorial is now available here. 

Red, White, & Blue Custom Orders

Just to show you all a few of the items I have been working on this week.

While this first one may not be patriotic it is red and blue. It turned out so wonderful that I could not resist showing them to you!! ROCK CHALK!USA Embroidered Bead Necklace onesie.Embroidered Future Miss America OnesieEmbroidered Captain IndependenceThis one is my fav! A little Mister Stars & Stripes tie onesie (applique)And the All Star Game 2012 Baseball Cuff. (I even embroidered the date on the inside of the cuff...I am thinking MEMORY KEEPER.) It is here in KC this year!! So we are all super excited. I made this for a friend that has tickets. She is one LUCKY girl!!

Did I show you all this already??

You know before my trip I really was not a fan of baseball. So, I went into my trip thinking that if I had to sit and watch baseball (and be miserable) then I might as well be looking cute!! Little did I know I would come to LOVE baseball over my 6 days but I did. However, I also looked SUPER cute doing it!! Here are some of the things I made/embellished for my trip to Arizona.

I love this one! I bought the iron-on wings at a craft store and was SUPER skeptical that it would work but I LOVE the way it turned out. I made the baseball my self.

I used Embroidery Garden’s Frayed Flower design to make all the little flowers on a white knit that I had left over from a previous project. Then I cute each one out and attached to the shirt with my sewing machine. This certainly was a labor of love and was FEATURED in Embroidery Garden’s Newsletter!! Pretty Sweet!!!

Kansas City Royals BLING T-Shirt!! I made the pattern myself. I think it is a little crooked but hey I am human and make mistakes. Plus making your own bling pattern…not as easy as one would think. 

BASEBALL QUEEN Bling Tee!

Obviously, I wore this one before I took the pic! And leave it to me to stain up a white shirt like a baby! I spilled coffee on this before I actually had the coffee in my hand. Please tell me how that happens. Then I spilled salsa all over it. I tried to TIDE-To-GO the spots but it only made them worse…EMBARRASSED!!!

I LOVE BASEBALL Bling Tee! LOVE THIS ONE!! (Okay, I love them all!)

My bestie had her bday a couple of days before we let for our trip so I made her this necklace. To get the KC Royals on the pendant. I used a tattoo and 3D Glaze. It turned out soooooo well!!!
I also made her this little monogramed flower for her bag. I thought it was/is super cute!


So what do you think? Were we cute or what?? I thought we looked great!!! However, after our first game on Sunday (and SPF 50) I looked like this…Very LOBSTER like! No joke about the SPF 50 either.
