Here I am, back on the Blog and less than one week since my first-ever post.
I'm really excited about embroidery and love testing out a new design. In the last couple of weeks, I've tested three designs and been so thrilled with the results that I've added all of them to the website. http://www.peekaboutique.com.au/store/embroidered-gifts/
The little zebra was first used on an embroidered gift to celebrate the birth of baby Dean; hence the naming of this design 'Dean the Zebra'. I embroidered this on a bamboo cot blanket so I hope Dean will enjoy it for years to come.
There's a bit of scepticism about bamboo fabric which I admit I was part of before I got to feel it for myself. It's actually the softness fabric I've felt. Extremely cosy and snuggly!!! http://www.peekaboutique.com.au/store/embroidered-gifts/bamboo-blankets/
The next design was also used for the first time on a bamboo fibre blanket given as a first birthday gift to little Lily from her grandparents. They told me they'd love a ladybug design if I had one available (which at the time, I didn't). Anyway, I found a stunning ladybug image and it looked even more stunning in the colours I chose for the embroidery on the blanket. This design is quite bold and strong in red, orange and black yet it's cute at the same time. It has been added to the website and appropriately, called Lily Ladybug.
Then, there's the flower-child hippo (Hippy Hippo). She is adorable in pink. She was embroidered on a bath towel for baby Ayla. Each time I come across a new design it becomes my favourite - for while anyway, until I re-visit them all and realise I just love them all! Personalised gifts are always so popular because they stand out amongst other gifts and usually do become a treasured keepsake.
I'm working on a new project with embroidery which is soon to be released. This is a customised and embroidered gift and definitely a 'one-of-a-kind'gift - a true keepsake. I've already made one of these which was a big hit with the recipients and I'm sure the little man for whom it was designed will enjoy it!
Make sure you visit again as there'll be more to discover!
