How about some more aprons????


fabric chosen


pattern selected


and completed... this one was for more SIL Renae.... have a pic of my sons Girlfriend, Daisy modelling it, but for some reason I can not upload it?????


I bought this fbric from work (I work at Spotlight) with my young nephew in mind..... hmmmm, now what to make........

How bout an apron???   LOL! My nephew Mason had spent a week painting his new bed which his father was making him.... an awesome firetruck bed..... but he had to paint in his jocks and singlet so he wouldnt soil his clothes.... LOL. So I had to make him an art smock.....

Then my nephew TJ also needed an apron, as he is a bit older he got a proper apron, as he likes helping his mum in the kitchen...... Then, my brother asked why he didn't have an apron???? So.....
He got one to match.... LOL



Here is another project I worked on... this one was for my sisters birthday in December.... any ideas????
these may just give it away....
not the best photo, but here is my sister's cow...... lol. she turned out so well, cant remember the designer, but it wa a kit that I had bought about 5 yrs ago and it took my this long to make her....She was well received by my beautiful sister xxx Love you Gem. xxx

well, obviously I am not real good at blogging..... trying to think what have I made since last time I was on here.... I know I have made a few aprons, but as I have been working lots, I really havent done much else..... sad really, isnt it??!!
Here is my beautiful daughter Amy modelling the apron I made her from a panel bought from spotlight late last year.... love the owls......

And again, Amy modelling the apron I made for my secret Santa gift at work..... I really liked this one and almost didnt give it to AnnaBel.... lol. I love the colours. The straps and frill are pink with white polka dots..... CUTE!
I also made a couple of puppy dogs..... Flora on the right was made for a friend to give to his Mum for her birthday early this year. And Hooter on the left was given to my MIL for her birthday last month. They were both well received. :-)

Well, so much for being regular at blogging.... I am so NOT good at this. It certainly doesnt help when you have a husband who gets shitty everytime I look at the computer of everytime i pick up the iphone..... can I blog from my iphone?? That is something i have not tried or thought about before.
I dont know if I will be any more succesful this time around, but it is really only me who it bothers... I dont expect anyone would be interested in what i have to say anyways.
Do people put on blogs the dramas of life? I am, at the moment going through some stuff that I wonder if I write about it, it will be clearer in my head and then I think no, it is too personal to put up out here...... maybe i need another blog that is annonymous that no one knows me, but that I can write everything on???? HMMMM maybe an option......

This year, so far, I have started cleaning out some rubbish from my cupboards and hope to continue clearing out anything in my life that doesnt make me happy..... "If it doesn't bring a smile.... I will throw it a mile......"

OK, this is the first of hopefully MANY posts for the year 2012........
