Apron Love

I found a pattern for child's apron and decided to make one for my dear, sweet awesome, fun great niece. I then started to realize that her father may like one too so of course I used some of the fabric on hers, on his.  The Beatles fabric is on both as well as the peace signs.  I think they both really like to wear them and it brings them together.

A family that wears robes together cooks together.

Thanks for Thanksgiving

This Thanksgiving my dear friend and her  husband had the extreme pleasure of meeting her son's new girlfriend.  She and her husband were extremely excited about this event occurring and could not wait see them and share Thanksgiving together. They were spending the night in Chicago so I thought there needed to be a cool gift for the cook ( the new girlfriend).  I found this apron but it did not have any straps on it.  So I added the scraps and hipped it up with Beatle fabric.  This really made the apron young!  I made a few potholders and added the Beatles fabric to them as well as some peace sign fabric.  I left some tissue  and a Nordstroms bag to wrap this cool - ass hostess gift in. I was told it was a big hit and was worn that night while the duck was being prepared.

So sorry for the shadows.

Fits perfect.  Duck looks great.

My "Cousin Ricky" (that is what we call  him) has a son named Ryan who is marrying Nicole.  YAE.  For their wedding shower I decided to make them something I thought they would remember.Young couple been awhile since I've been there so I started looking around the kitchen and this is what I came up with .Aprons. You never buy one when are young.  Only older people where those. Mmm. But they have made a come back with all the cool retro fabrics and all other  cool fabrics.   Then, I came up with my own pattern for aprons. I just took an apron and placed it some paper and outlined it. Simple to make.  I made the back side out of fabric of it made of  music note fabric.  The groom to be is a big music head and I think he turned his wife to be into one too. I also had left over guitar fabric (he plays the guitar) it so I "re purposed it" (as Vern would say) I bought the floral because I thought it was cool and hip as this bride to be is.  Then I had left over so I made them into pot holders. I placed everything in the tote bag and I went green for the shower. Ride on.

 I put all of this stuff into the tote bag and made my own card.  (Go green) Some of MY favorite things were the napkins from IKEA  (I love that place) The spatulas were what they had registered for the knives were just cool colors so I had to buy them and the plastic bags were also some of my favorites from IKEA (I love that place) I also threw in the chip clips from IKEA (I love that place)  because I love those too. This was really fun and special for me.  I am planning on making a quilt for the wedding gift.  Oooh la la

 This is the picture they sent me the night of their shower.  I think they like the aprons.  I was  just tickled to see this picture. Thanks happy couple you touched me. :)
