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!

More Apron Swaps!

Well, I'm definitely hooked! I just sent off my St. Patrick's Day apron to my swap partner. Can't wait for her to see it! Now it's time to start working on my next creation for the Spring Color Apron Swap that I found on Swap Bot.

I've also signed up for the Fiesta Hot Mama Swap and the Tea for Two Sassy Apron Swap. I must be out of my mind! The apron bug has really bitten me! All I think about is which pattern should I try next... what fabric should I buy... what kind of goodies shall I send...

Is this normal? Will it wear off? Well, we shall see! Until then I am lost in a beautiful obsession!

Pay It Forward Update

I am excited that Desiree has signed up to be my first Pay It Forward participant! She was my swap partner for the Sassy/Flirty Apron swap and sent me a wonderful apron and goody package. I am excited that now I get to surprise her with something nice sometime in the next 365 days. I still have two spots left... any takers?
