I finally did it!

**npeplau** · February 19th, 2009

I just uploaded a few of my projects......a couple of my sewing . My children and grandchildren are the recipients of all these. The designs are not all mine, I harvest designs from various places and taylor them for the moment! Some I digitized from clip arts, and all the large fonts I also digitized in 4D Quick Font. I "customized" in both 4D Embroidery and directly on the Diamond. I hope you enjoy as much as I did creating them. All in good fun, Nancy

I love the underwear pillows. I remember when my boys read the Captain underwear pants books.

Is that snow outside your windows?

**npeplau** · February 19th, 2009

Yep! Lots of snow! I love it!
My grandson reads Captain underpants, but he is a bugger about wearing underwear, he hates it (my daughter is constantly after him about this issue). Well, being I'm the grandma, I thought I would make light of this very serious issue! I found all these cute little underwears on line and made a little poem to go with them. Captain Underpants was sombody elses design also, I just added the words. Pillows was the medium of choice for his new bedroom. Thanks for peaking! Nancy

You have been busy! Your items are lovely. Such lucky recipients.

**npeplau** · February 19th, 2009

I come here for inspiration...so naturally I find time for that! Thanks.
The trees on my wall I painted there.......any flat, plain surface regardless of composition should be considered a medium for embellishment! I use to sit in that room with my son everyday when he came to pick up my grand daughter after work and the trees were his idea, what you can't see is the flowers along the lower part, I have to much stuff in the way! The room has all four seasons represented, one on each wall,representing the seasons of life. The room is a memorial to my son as a drunk driver ended his life, it is an ongoing work, and a very peaceful and joyous room for me, a room full of good memories, a room that will always be creative. Thanks for stopping by, Nancy

What a great tribute to your son. And I'm sure you get much enjoyment from the room and feel close to him there too.

Simpleuser2000 · February 19th, 2009

{{{{{Nancy}}}}}} I am sorry you have lost your son.
I am glad you can enjoy the room and have nice memories of your son.

Probably the more fuss your daughter makes the more your grandson will want to not wear the underwear. LOL Kids.

You have some lovely work there. Thanks for sharing.

**npeplau** · February 19th, 2009

Thanks ladies.........and Elaine, I read the bottom of your entries all the time......Everyday I have to tell myself not to let a sad old lady take over my body! Seriously! You never know when you write or say something how it will effect the next person. Thanks for being part of this awesome group of folks.

.....and you are also correct about my daughter (it's to funny)...it has become a HUGE issue in their house, and I just find humor in it, thank God for humor in the little things!!! Nancy

npleplau - I love the underwear pillow and the one about loving it when my brother plays with me. It reminds me of when I was a kid with my baby brother - and yes - I did turn on the faucet - lol. He had to learn some way!

**ginny1960** · March 15th, 2009

Nancy, very sorry to hear the lost of your son. The paintings on the wall are beautiful along with your embroidery. Thank You for the pictures and sharing.

**quiltersblock** · March 16th, 2009

What a busy beaver with such lovely items! How creative?!!!! I especially like the trees on your walls. What a lovely memorial to your son. My deepest sympathies. I lost an uncle, a cousin, and three friends to drivers who were under the influence.
Quick Font certainly makes things easier, doesn't it? Thanks for the laugh about the underwear. Laughter is always good medicine.
Thanks for sharing!
Hugs and Smiles, quiltersblock

thank you for sharing your space and time. You are very talented..I love what you did with the sewing room walls. It must be a cheery place to be, looks like it to me anyway..such a wonderful imagination too..The underwear pillows make me laugh..I am truly sorry for the loss of your son. He was Blessed to have such a wonderful mother and so much love. I am glad you have so much around to be grateful for and that you have found away to brighten everyones days. By the way, Nancy, you have my china..The first picture I saw was your beautiful table as you are setting it for a holiday? Remided me that I need to use the china more. And how blessed I am. My mother in law gave it to us when we married. She's been gone for 20 years now and I think of her often. She was a joy and loves the kids..Sorry,I am rambling..GOD BLESS you

I love them all, but my favorite is the quilt. I bought my little machine used, just to do quilting easier. I love that Im not alone in that. Wonderful wonderful ideas.
