Apron Swap!

I participated in an apron swap through Hand Made By Desi and this is the apron I made. I had grand plans to get it done and sent off by the second week of July, but alas, time flew away and I finished it and mailed it off the tail end of the last week. It was still July though, it may have been the last day in July but still!=)

This is the beautiful apron that I received. I got it this week, Thursday I think, but in between working, house sitting and all the other things that go into living in a house with 7 people in it, I didn't get a chance to take pictures until today! It came all the way from Bermuda, awesome right?=)

A big thank you to Desi for hosting and to Eden for my beautiful apron, this was my first blog swap and it was loads of fun!=)

Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries

I have had the same apron for three years now and it was literally falling apart. So, I had to throw it way after putting up with the foot long holes and the skirt falling off of the waist band. The burn marks on the front made me realize I need to watch my self a little closer when I'm by the stove! Yikes!

I morned for a little while then set about making a new one! It's from a pattern my Mom and I made from another apron we liked. It was narrow and because I'm a "butt wiper"; my term for wiping my hands on my rear leaving finger smudges on an area I don't really want any attention brought to!(hehe) I made it a fuller skirt by adding another panel. The bodice is a double layer to prevent spills from soaking through and the edging is double fold wide bias tape.

I love cherries!
