Aprons

Got my apron from the Booming Aprons Halloween in July swap. We were to choose Fall or Halloween aprons. I picked Fall and here is the apron I received from Kathie V as seen on my unwilling model. Who agreed to model only if I would not show his face. Isn't he adorable,LOL. Kids are so funny sometimes.

Anyway it is reversible and I love it. Thanks so much Kathie.

Look what else she included. A little scarecrow knick-knack, I love scarecrows. and a much needed oven mitt with some wooden utensils.

Kathie chose a Halloween theme and here is the apron I made for her. It was the first Bib apron I had made. I was worried how it would turn out and if Kathie would like but she says it is perfect.

Wow Has it been a week?

I didn't realize it has been a week since my last post. Not that you missed me anyway. LOL I've been a busy girl. I finished painting my other birdhouse and will show ya on Wedenesday.
I've been doing a lot of reading and just finished the Harmony seris by Philip Gulley. Now I'm looking for some good books to read any suggestions? Who's your favorite author?

I haven't gotten very far on my Daydreamer doll but then again it'sjust been too hot to do anything that added to the fact that everytime I sit down to sew I have two furry visitors
who wanna help so I don't get much done and I've got lots to do. It's time to start thinking about Fall and Halloween items. I've had people asking me if I'm gonna sell on Etsy. Well I'd like too but don't know the first thing about doing so. HELP.

Dishes need done, grass needs mowed and thesweeper needs run but I'm just too lazy today to do so and so I tok the day off and did nothing. Tomorrow I will be working overtime to get caght up. YUK! Who invented house work anyway? and why?

I finished my Halloween apron but forgot to get a picture so I'm hoping my partner Kathie V will get a pictre of it for me. It is the first full apron I have made. i just hope she will like it.

Well I think I've bored you enough so I'll say goodnight.

Fun and Flirty.

Still working on those aprons. I love this newst one. It's fun and flirty. I just wish I had bought more than just a half yard of each print. But at the time I bought it I had no idea what I would do with it. I just thought it was pretty. It did make a cute apron. Next is a plan to do a bib style apron.

I don't know about you but I do not like to use the store bought patterns. I find myself reluctant to use those tissue paper pattens. And when it comes to clothes making UGH! I just don't wanna do it. I have no problems making items using measurements or cardstock patterns but when it comes to store bought ones I jsut don't wanna do it.There are alot of cute patterns but I don't like to use them. Is that being lazy or just plain crazy? My motto is Dare to be different! I never did do what everyone else was doing and I still don't like to follow the norm.

Can I help Ma?

Trying to work an apron order is a little hard when Miss Ginger decideds it's about naptime and her spot of choice just happens to be my sewing machine. I had to take a break because I just didn't have the heart to disturb her naptime.

A Cover Up

I’ve been on this apron kick the last few days. They take me back to my childhood. I remember visitng my great grandmother and she always wore an apron for cooking,house cleaning and everyday wear. She passed when I was 10yrs old but I can still picture her in her apron.

I scoured the internet and found this tutourial for making a reversable half apron. I set to work and made these up in just a few hours. I love them. The pink and brown one is such a big change for me. I a tomboy and not particularly into girly things but this apron was fun and I can’t wait to make another one.

The green one was my first one. It’s plain and simple but made up quickly. I talked my 9 yr old into modeling for me but he refused to do the pink one. Too girly perhaps? LOL

I will definately be making more of these. I have plans to try a full apron too ut right now I’m having fun with half aprons.

I also joinned the Apronista forum. I’m still learning my way around but having fun while I do so. I hope to be able to join a few apron swaps this some also. Well thats all for now. I’m off to check out some more aprons. Hope you are staying cool and have a nice day.
