My unevenly fake tanned hands aren’t even notice

My unevenly fake tanned hands aren’t even noticeable are they? If you see a tutorial of me using only one hand... well.
•
Thank you everyone so SO much for your support tonight with Shop OklaRoots! Small business is such a gamble for everyone, and knowing these items bring joy your way means so much to us over here. For all of you thinking of starting a small business, this endeavor is also a learning experience I plan on sharing in detail soon. So if you’re looking for stories of failures and success, get ready.
•
After this round we are taking a break from snack pouches and sanitizer holders. We love them, but ready to try some other items. Baseball caps are coming soon! As well as some other handmade goods... to be continued.
•
I hope you have the best weekend, whatever it looks like! I now have a massive amount of TV watching and snack indulging to take part in.

I’m getting a lot of questions about the pattern

I’m getting a lot of questions about the pattern for the snack bags coming to the shop tomorrow. It’s a self drafted modification of the snack bag tutorial I have on my channel, so I don’t have a specific pattern I can direct you to (though there are many similar options out there).
•
Would you like a new tutorial for this? I’ve been playing around the measurements and additions, and I have a cute beauty bag option we could also include in the video. Let me know!
•
(Also - shop opens tomorrow at 6pm EST! Lots of snack bag options.)
•
Fabric from @backstitch_fabrics , cork from @sewsweetness and labels from @heartwoodandhide

We’re adding a couple little items to help with

We’re adding a couple little items to help with your Easter basket planning this Friday 🐣! These sweet bunny bookmarks are such a fun keepsake. With a long ribbon and the body split in half (yikes!) they’re just cute and weird enough to be a hit!
•
Since we’re adding a few unique items, let us know if you want to see more! We love being a part of your celebrations 😍.
•
Pattern for these is from @ohanaappliquedesigns and there’s a tutorial on my channel 👍.

The longest I’ve ever lived in one house is 4 ye

The longest I’ve ever lived in one house is 4 years (military kid and restless adult). So at the age of (almost) 36, my home design choices always have the resale haunt in the back of my mind.
•
Is this too much ship lap? What would buyers say? Is this color too wild? I know it’s what we want, but would it hurt us later? UGH!
•
I hate hate HATE making decisions with other folks opinion in the back of my head. I’ve always been rebellious with my clothing and accessories, doing my best to never wear the same thing as the rest of the crowd. But the home decor area is a whole different beast.
•
All this to say, this is now the 4th room of my house with white shiplap and if you have a problem with that too dang bad 🤣.

These little Pong Pong Pouches are such a favorite of mine! This would be such a great teacher gift bag, filled up with treats and gift cards. I especially love pouches that stand upright, it just make it easier to use.
•
I hope you’re having a great start to your week!
•
Vinyl is from @mypunkbroidery , large pouch fabric is from @hapafabrics , the medium pouch fabric is part of @damasklove ‘s line and the small is made up of random scraps 😍

Beasty’s home has some decor! I need so many more bins and thing-a-ma-bobs, but we have a start!
•
Also, I cannot tell you how happy it makes me to see all my zipper tape in one spot. Previously I kept them in a storage bin and didn’t really know what I had. Maybe this will prevent me from buying so much more (says the girl who just 10 minutes ago purchased 15 yards from @geekyhardware 🤣).
•
Thank you to everyone who joined in on the Patreon only live tonight! Babi and I had so much fun. We still have some kinks to work out, but we’ve got a camera working!

I’m so excited for the day my extended family can visit us in Florida and we can take that big family Disney vacation. You know I’m going to make everyone matching shirts for EVERY SINGLE DAY (my father in law is going to LOVE that 😂😂).
•
Today’s tutorial is all about embroidering on these chunky sweaters. They’re snuggly and fluffy, and easy to stitch on. And using my @ricomahq 10 needle EM-1010 these are crazy fast and easy to make.
•
Although it’s 70s today and these sweaters are currently being used as pillows, I’m holding on to them for a cooler day!

Here’s the thing about my tutorials: I do my best to show you how I (🙋‍♀️) accomplish a task. It’s not always the best way, because I don’t know all the ways, but it works.
•
Embroidery is still such an unknown field for me. Just when I think I understand one type of stabilizer, I see another type being discussed and it’s like I’m reading a different language. There’s A LOT of stuff that goes with this practice. But just like you, I chip away at it one project at a time.
•
So what I’m trying to say is, I could really use some tips on appliquéing clothing on an embroidery machine 😂😂.
•
I have a method that works.... but I bet some of you know better.
•
Happy Tuesday and THANK YOU for being the most supportive friends!
