Fiesta Apron Swap!

Wanted to share pictures of the fun aprons that were exchanged for the Fiesta Swap hosted by Yarni Gras.

First one is the cute apron sent to me by Sherry! She made her first reversible apron with bright fiesta colors and added fun yoyo's, a loop to hang a towel on, and matching pot holders!

Next is the apron I made for Marcel. The colors were inspired by a pair of beaded earrings. The pattern was from Cindy Taylor Oates, More Retro Aprons book!

Tea for Two Apron Swap

Here are the aprons that my partner, Vea, and I swapped for the Sassy Tea for Two Apron Swap.

I asked for something pretty and feminine, so Vea sent me some of her favorite things! I love the floral fabric and detailing around the pocket and ruffle. She made a matching tissue holder that fits perfectly into the pocket. She also sent Earl Grey tea and my favorite biscotti!







Vea said she liked light blue and a ruffle, so I found this blue tea party theme fabric. The front has a double pocket, and the apron is reversible.


I also made this tea holder. The tea pot and cup are buttons!

Spring Color Apron Swap

I wanted to share pictures of the Apron I received for the Spring Color Apron Swap on Swap Bot. I said I was craving bright spring colors and flowers. This sweet apron was perfect! Donna added rick rack for a special touch!










This is my version of shabby chic in lavender, which my swap partner said were her favorites.











Reverse side with crisscross ties. This style is supposed to be very comfortable to wear.










I added a yoyo with lace and charms for that extra special touch.

Pay It Forward Surprise!

Look what came today! This cute pin cushion made by my Pay It Forward Partner, Aunt Pitty Pat!

It is so much fun to come home and find a package that is totally unexpected! This little guy is purple with flower embroidery and button eyes! He is so cute that I don't know if I can stick pins in him! Aunt Pitty Pat makes all kinds of cute things and has them for sale at her Etsy stores. She also tells good jokes, so hop on over to her site and say hi!

Thank you Marcel!!!!!

"Erin's Green" St. Patrick's Day Apron

This is Erin's Green, the wonderful apron I received from Missy, my swap partner for the Booming Apron's St. Patrick's Day Swap. The fabric is exquisite, and the workmanship perfect!










She also included this cute handmade towel along with all the other St. Patrick's themed goodies! I am so happy that my package arrived the day before St. Patrick's Day! It has made our home very festive!

Aprons and Tea Cozies

I just visited Jan's shop, J. Carrell Originals and she has the cutest aprons and tea cozies. The teapots hold 6 cups and the tea cozies keep the tea much warmer for a long period of time. Here is one of her cute aprons that she has made especially for the Tea for Two Apron Swap. Isn't it cute!

"Lucky" St. Patrick's Day Apron

This is "Lucky", the St. Patrick's Day apron I made for Missy, my swap partner for the Booming Apron St. Patrick's Day Swap.

I sure had fun designing this little sweetie, and wanted to share the finished product!
