One More

I had to do one more apron post before I get off the computer and tackle the house.

First, I received my apron from Frieda for the Sassy Flirty Apron Swap (the one I made the pink apron for down below). I LOVE IT. I love the pink and black, and I love the pattern. And Frieda is much better at working with bias tape than I am. I found myself looking closely at the corners trying to figure out how she got them looking so perfect. She also included some goodies for me and even some Valentines treats for the kids.

I loved the apron pattern that Frieda used so much that I broke down a paper bag to try to duplicate it (thanks for the tip, Candy). I have a former student that I taught in Jr High that I have reconnected with on Facebook that has been handed some pretty rough challenges. So I made her a little pick-me-up package. She loves cherries, so I have been collecting different cherry fat quarters, not really knowing how I was going to make them work together. I had thought of attempting a patchwork/quilted type apron, but I could see myself just ruining a whole pile of fabric that way. So I used the pattern from Freida's apron and extended the bottom a little so I could add four different flouncy layers, and put a pocket in the front to bring in one more cherry fabric. I really think this is my favorite new apron pattern. It's just so sassy. I need to make one for myself. The package is going out today. I hope it cheers her up and that she loves it as much as I do! Now I'm off to sweep up more thread.

And just one more of my cute boy with his "pikey" hair -- becuase he's just so cute.
