Yesterday we went to a friend’s daughter’s one year birthday party. This freaks me out because it means Mira’s birthday is rapidly approaching. I can’t believe in less than a month my baby will be one, it feels like only yesterday I was rushed to the hospital in an ambulance to have her.

Anyways… Back to the party. It was a monster themed party, so I decided to make some monster embroideries. The invitation was covered in goggly eyes and I thought it would be fun to bring them into the embroideries.

I drew about 8 monsters but these three made the cut. The hoops are 5″. I wanted to make sure the monsters weren’t scary looking, since they were going to be for a one year old. When they were opened, the birthday girl was extremely interested in the one giant eye.

Evie made a card and just couldn’t help covering it with googly eyes as well. She was extremely proud of it.

I’ve been doing a lot of gift making lately – the wedding embroidery, the bridal shower embroidery, and now these. Thankfully I think there’s a lull in projects for a bit now, so I can take a little break and try to get some projects finished!
