For the Graduate

I've had my new sewing machine since New Years but I hate to admit I haven't had much time to sew...and really little time to embroider anything {bummer!} 

The first great grandchild of my family just graduated from high school. She's a lovely young lady, and I am seriously in denial about the possibility that she is old enough to go to college because I clearly remember the day she was born. {Scary!!!}

While I was on vacation at Strawberry Hill my Mom and I ended up running to the laundromat to clean all of the linens in the house...while we were waiting we decided to go to this adorable boutique. I saw this jute bag and loved it:

{it's made by the same people that make Willow Tree Angels}

So I decided to find some stuff to fill the bag with...and ultimately decided on giving her shower supplies she can use at college: towels, flip flops & soap: 

And I even got the chance to monogram some towels for her using my new sewing machine!

Here are all the goods I collected:

 The bag stuffed to the brim:

 And wrapped in cellophane:

I also created a fun gift tag using the software the goes with my Silhouette machine:

The long awaited TOOF.

See it? Can you? Maybe even TWO toofers?

This guy might officially be the longest teether on the planet. 

He's been taking his sweet time growing these...and I have to admit, I'm glad they are finally here. 

Now for the bottom teeth...(Seriously, who gets top teeth first?!)

I'm going to miss that big gummy grin. But boy do I love this toothy(ish) grin.
