I Need Your Opinions

I embroidered this apron and as you can see, or not, the lettering doesn't show up.  It says Kiss the Cook.  The apron is a kind of royal blue and the lettering is black.  I'm thinking if I outline the letters in red it will show up fine.  What do you think?  Do you have any other ideas?

This is another embroidery design that I cut out to make a magnet.  I used the colors the design called for and I don't like the combination, so I would change it up if I make it again.  I love magnets on my fridge but I don't buy holiday ones.  What about you?  Would you or do you buy holiday magnets?

I look forward to hearing what you have to say!

Blogtoberfest Day Four: It's A Magnet

Remember this cute guy from the bib that didn't turn out?  Well, now he's a magnet!  I used the bib fabric around him to make the sachets and my daughter suggested using the embroidery to make a magnet.  I never would have thought of that!  She's quite clever and creative, that girl.

Erin did the intricate cutting, being careful not to cut through the edge embroidery.  I then traced around the cut out piece on cardstock, cut it out and then glued it to the back of the piece.  I dug through my bin of supplies and found a roll of stick on magnets, cut the size I wanted and stuck it on.  I think he's just adorable.   Who wouldn't want him hanging out on their fridge?!
