Getting Ready for 1st Show

I'm starting my preparations for the horse show this weekend. I went over and got both girls tails brushed and braided to help keep them nice. I brought the horse trailer up by the house so I could clean it and prep it. Found out that something is wrong with the electrical system in the truck because only a portion of my trailer lights are working. One more thing to get fixed before the weekend. I still have to hem my show pants, but that shouldn't take too much time.

I'm posting a picture of two shirts that I embroidered for my mom's husband. They turned out pretty good. I got the placement alittle high on the one, but it was the first one I did. Now I'm waiting for my mom to find some shirts, so I can do them for her. She told me that lots of people have been asking who embroidered the shirts for them. I guess people like the design. I'm pretty proud of myself for figuring it out. I had to shift the design sideways because of the way I had to put the shirt in the hoop. I really enjoyed doing those shirts for them. Hopefully I'll be able to do more in the future.

Embroidery

I've been doing some embroidery work for my mom and her farm. I made a couple of test ones for her and she & her husband loved them. I made a towel for her, but I didn't get a picture of it before I gave it to her. They came over last week and we made another test one to see what it would look like on a shirt pocket. Well they loved that one too, so now they are bringing me some shirts to embroider. Hopefully I will get it right and they will be correct on the shirt. I always worry about lining things up correctly, so that the embroidery is centered and straight on the shirt. They are suppose to bring the shirts over to me today, so we can get them done.

Mom is also going to help me hem some pants of mine. I can't do it by myself very well, so she volunteered to help me. Its hard to bend over and fold them hem correctly. I have to get these pants hemmed because they are my show pants and I've only got a couple more weeks to go before the first horse show.
