Weekend Projects

Well, I did pretty good and kept my nose to the grindstone. I made two darling aprons for my granddaughters to use when helping me cook. When I tell Peanut it's time to cook dinner she says "where's my apron", so now I have one for her at Mimi's house.



I also did a lot of work on crib size quilts but didn't finish anything... these really are longer time projects. But I did finish a little cross stitch stocking.



I also got in a few WII workouts. I'm finding the boxing really works out my 'back fat' :). Still haven't done the 'bike' workout but I'm getting better at the soccer and I actually caught a hula hoop... I know I know everyone is doing better than me, but it's still a workout. Both of us are really enjoying it.

Oh yeah, look what else I found on my camera. Peanut playing Farkle with us :) I think we took this right after Christmas.

Win a Garden Apron

Well, you could win a garden apron - if I wasn't winning. You have to go over to Apron Goddess and check out her site. It's one of my favorite places to browse around. I have always used an apron, but she makes them fashionable again. Wish me luck and okay, you can put in an entry too.

Fun New Apron

In our travels this summer I found this really cool apron at a quilt show in Oregon. I bought all the stuff to make three for hostess gifts. I've been holding off posting about it til I'd given them all away - and the last one will be gifted out on Friday. I love the vintage-look of the fabric and I especially like the little glitter stones I've put on the Christmas tree for added bling. The picture doesn't pick it up much, but trust me it is really cute.


I haven't checked to see if I can get the fabric in my area, but I really like it. It has a large rick-rack trim that also gives it a vintage feel.

What do you think? What hostess wouldn't love to receive this? Cute huh?
