Apron sightings

While shopping with my daughter I spotted some aprons. She laughed when I brought out my cell phone to take a picture. I told her , hey see your Mom was ahead of the trend last year when I started sewing aprons, well, that didn't help ;) So here is a picture from World Market the aprons ranged from 19.99 to 24.99 the black and white one even had a flounce!

Remember May 12th !

National (and International) Wear Your Apron Day is May 12th

The Day before Mother's Day

Today is the day before Mother's Day and I spent the day with my daughter, my grown daughter :) We went out shopping and then to lunch at Bahama Breeze, YUM ! It was good to just spend the day with her. I'm so proud and glad she is my daughter. I love you.

Proverbs 31:30

"Charm is deceptive, and beauty is fleeting; but a woman who fears the LORD is to be praised."

A girl needs fancy toes :)

Fabric storage

So I have all this fabric and have tried several ways to store it, in such a way that I can SEE it. I do still have a lot of fabric in a dresser and that is nice I have it sorted by color and just open a drawer to look at all the green or black etc.... But I still have a lot of fabric and if it is just in a stack I make a mess looking through it..... soooooo... I turned a box on its side and rolled the fabric and slid it in there so I'm going to give it a try to see if it will stay in some sort of order.

Memo Board

I picked up this ribbon board kit so today I put it together here's how it went.

so I took it all out and tried to come up with how to lay it all out.

There was a lot in there to chose from, so I started with the ribbon board part of it. It was a little hard to line up but once I started I got the hang of it.

So then I put that down then attached the side paper

Added the hardware for the clip board area, and a pocket for notes. It was fun, I'm not usually to into kits but this was fun. I picked it up at JoAnn's

A ruffled apron for May

Over on The Apronista the group project for May is a Ruffled apron. I have apron patterns with ruffles but, a tutorial was mentioned and I made this apron from there.


Also I made this with my daughter in mind, she like black/white and red.
