Ok, after needing a really quick apron for a last
minute gift, I had re-purposed a lace panel for
an apron & added a fabric panel from MaryJane's
Fabric line....Well I kept thinking
about the Lace Curtain apron & how I wanted one so...Voila" here
is the latest rendiditon of it....yoyos & all!
2nd one...
1st one
they may not be real practical, but heck...I'll sure look cute serving my burnt cookies while
wearing this one! lol!

Nancy,
I suspect I am not as strong as I thought...and I worked 'Corrections' for 17 years....Sounds like my job was a breeze compared to 'Motherhood w.Sons" lol!

Well I have always been told I need to write a book...oh the stories I can tell on raising sons! One lesson they learned is you DO NOT throw your clothes off the balcony because it gets caught on the deer head which then falls off the wall and lands on moma's HEAD!!! ANTLERS first! Those 2 middle antlers got me good! Oh and just because you have a 4x4 does NOT

Good! I'm glad you saw my blog, I have NO IDEA how to do one so mine is haphazard! Ya boy I have used that one before, I brought you into this world I can take you out, Ha! I used that line many times on my son's! I had to get my bluff in on them early because they are HUGE. I once tackled my oldest one for continuing to pop me with rubberbands after I repeatedly said STOP! He may have outweighed me by 100#'s but I got him, lol!!!

Gracie,
The aprons are beautiful. How creative! You gave me some incentive to check my local thrift store and found two lace panels for $6.00. Nothing like have a pretty elegant apron to add to the collection.

Well today I made a valentine apron and some hot pads to match, I still haven't figured out how to put pictures on this but I did put one on my blogspot. If anyone gets a chance look at it and tell me if you think it will be a seller at the shop. Thanks!

Thanks Grace! I will try it! My hubby just said I'm the ( dumb cluck ) and won't figure out the pictures, lol...I did make my blog so you can see my cherry heart bib apron I made that is in my shop, or was in my shop, older picture, then my ones I have now in it. I did locate some reasonable vintage tablecloths that are headed my way so I can make more tablecloth ones. I am also working on valentine ones that look like vintage hankies and old valentine cards. I will totally switch the booths after Christmas. I have decided to put in a fabric booth because I have so so much of it and here in Ardmore we are down to only Hobby Lobby that carries fabric, will give it a try anyway. I am wanting to try to make jewelry out of vintage buttons, anyone have idea's on it? Can you tell I have ADD? Oh look a chicken......

hey Nancy,
simple to post pics here....
download your pics in Phototbucket and then to upload just hi-lite on "img" & copy....then down size P.B. go to MJF & 'paste' then you can minimize MJF to go back to P.B. to get another pic if you want of just close out if you are finished.
Stay warm...I luv the idea of a wood stove in a sewing room, sounds so cozy.
Hey Rene'
missin you babe'!
p.s. tell Santa I've been good & I will vouch for you too! lol!

It has been cold here in Oklahoma also! We use to have snow all the time but now it is a rarity. I am fixing to have wood stove number 3 installed in my log cabin. So far even when it is in the teens outside I haven't had to use electric heat, although my spare bedroom which is now my sewing room is a bit nippy on the north side, that is where I put the 3rd stove, not hooked up yet, waiting till funds allow! Ya'll stay warm!
