Colorful Polka Dots

This was the last Apron Swap for 2013. It was nice to end the year sewing and getting back into the groove. I was partnered up with Kaara from In The Kitch With Kaara.

I did my best to fulfill her request on her apron likes. I think I did pretty good:

She likes turquoise, orange, pink, red, ruffles and half aprons. And as an added bonus, it's a reversible apron. It's hard to tell, but the apron is scalloped at the bottom. Hope she likes it. I also included a few goodies along with her apron!

Thank you Katherines Corner for hosting this apron swap!

Happy New Year!

Confetti Eggs

Colorful confetti eggs.

I had bought confetti eggs for my kids before. And boy did they have fun cracking them on each other's head. I decided to make my own for them and collected 3 1/2 dozen eggs. Phew! Took a few months to get that amount.

Before & After...Abstract Dress

I cleaned out my closet over the weekend. Some spring cleaning in the winter. Why not, right?! Had piles for keeping, donation, and maybe keeping. So the maybe keeping pile turned into a project pile.

I decided to recycle some of the clothing pieces I had in the maybe keeping pile. The rest I placed in the donation pile. I wore this dress about 3 years ago...yes, 3 years ago.

Sister Sister

I've been in full sewing mode...oh yeah! Loving it! A friend of mine asked if I could sew some aprons for her daughters. One as a birthday gift and the other as a Christmas gift. Of course I could do that! She requested full aprons and gave me color preferences for each and the rest was left up to me to decide...yikes!

National Tie One On Day 2013

It's that time of year again! Thanksgiving is a day away. You know what that means??? Aprons!!! Yeah, it's National Tie One On Day! This year I only did two aprons. But of course, they went to two very special people.

I'm back into sewing and was looking forward to doing this again. Unfortunately, I didn't get around to doing it last year and I wasn't going to let it happen again this year. So with that being said, here are the apron beauties:

New Venture...

Dia de los Muertos apron. My first apron sold on Facebook!

Busy, busy busy...and more busy! I've taken the leap for...wait for it...wait for it...selling aprons on Etsy. It's been something I've been thinking about doing, but wasn't sure if I should or not. So I said, what the heck! Why not?!
