I’ve been doing a lot of posts of family events and not much posting of my creations. I have been creating! Here are some of the things I’ve done. More to come!
Yves bought me a heat press for my birthday back in July. A complete surprise! I love to make t-shirts for friends and have sort of complained that using an iron is not practical when you want to make a bunch. Opening up an Etsy shop has been on my list of things to do for ages. While I am still not there yet, I am getting closer. More on that further down! Some of the fun things I’ve made using the heat press. Once I got over the initial fear of it’s heat inducing powers, it is super easy and fun!
For Sienna’s friend, Sylvie, who turned 5 in September.
This is an inkjet transfer that I printed out and had the cameo cut it to shape. I made this back in September. The transfer is all cracked now, which is disappointing!
I made these 2 pencil pouches for Sienna. I printed the images on fabric and used my heat press to add iron on vinyl to it. This is the front (the bottom one Sienna colored). Of course I didn’t take into account the seam allowance so some of the images get cut off.
The backs
Made this shirt for Yves for Christmas. Found this image as a wallpaper online and loved it so recreated it with vinyl.
Made this baby stats frame for Amy and David. Really happy with how it came out!
So, while I mentioned above that I was getting closer to opening an Etsy shop, I actually posted some items for sale on my Facebook page. Small baby steps! I offered these personalized shirts for kids.

The Santa design
Unfortunately, I did not make any sales via Facebook but there were a couple of friends that bought some! I’m just happy that I finally put myself out there and even though sales were not what I wanted, I survived that and am ready to move on to the next designs to create!
I also offered these floating frames. They look so pretty in real life. It’s hard to take a decent photo!
I made this one for Sienna’s teacher and also included a GC for Dunkin Donuts.
Made this envelope a long time ago and trying to work through my stash. Sienna’s school has a movie night so I put the money in here for it. The woman that heads the PA tells me she kept it and it’s hanging on her bulletin board! It’s so nice to hear!
This was a commissioned wristlet made for a BR mom whom I don’t get to see much. I had made her a wristlet years ago that she loves and used everyday. It finally saw it’s last day so she reached out to me to make her a new one. And I got paid for it! Woohoo!
More creations to come!
