Well there little Missy..
I reckon we should say the are closed now then..
If'n we are going to have everyone do a Mini for the entire group.. (Unless of course the majority is cool with allowing for an add on..)
I say we are good with our 15 NOW then..
Although I still haven't heard that everyone is good with doing more then the original 10 that we agreed upon.. but hey.. whats 5 more???
So.. Mini Apron Swap Sign up will officaily be closed unless i hear from the group otherwise!
& we are each making 16...
15 for the swap.. & one to forward on to Mary Jane..
Cool?

I am fine with 15 plus one for MJ. I made one last night using my embroidery machine. Put a little vintage-looking flower on it. It was so cute. I gave it to a friend at work since I always make her the guinea pig when I try new things. She loved it.
My big-girl hands have a hard time with these little things, but I think I have a good size figured out and the little bias binding looks cute (when it sews on correctly!!--it's thin!). These will be fun!

15 + 1 it is! I made a cardboard pattern today, and will try the first one tonight - I think it's going to be very cute!

| Nope, I still have it!!! I just cannot get to sewing right now with it. I am guessing maybe this weekend. I went and visited the soapmaven yesterday, while hubby was golfing, and she taught me to embroider a little and I have been sitting on the couch doing that. My throat and ears were killing me with it yesterday now today I just feel icky. I am WAITING for my allergy shots to kick in. I am sick of living like this. Anyway, my hubby is taking the girls and I to the city tomorrow to see the new Nancy Drew Movie. Maybe we will go by Hobby Lobby and then I can be motivated to sew on Saturday. I will get it done though, probably try to take an entire day to do nothing but those. I am excited about it --- the mini aprons and being able to breathe again!!! |

I do hope your feeling better.. My little Kiddo!!
Just so you all know.. I haven't even STARTED on my Mini's yet!!!
So we're all about the same i think..
Except someone.. Was nearly done i think.. who was it?
Carol was that you ? That was thinking our dead line was the 15th of THIS month honey & you were doing a mad scramble with you additional 5 ? I just had to laugh when she had emailed me that & i read it this morning.. Poor baby..!
Can you imagine what she must have been mumbleing about ME when she read an ADDITIONAL FIVE!! FOR THIS 15TH !!???!!
I'm so sorry to give you a scare like that Pumpkin! You can slow down & put your feet up for a couple weeks i'd say now!!
Our Friendly Deadline is for JULY 15..
Take your time Ladies!!

| Our Hobby Lobby's fabric wasn't great. They are trying to clear out the old to get new, thats what they say. I have to drive an hour and a half to get there. While we were there I went to the allergist-------- sinus infection!! She ( I went to the other allergist as mine was gone for the weekend) put me on a z-pack and told me to irrigate my sinus this morning--yuck. I haven't done it yet and I am not looking forward to it. Putting it off actually. So maybe, just maybe, I can get started on my itty bitty aprons at some point! I am still going to do my best to be early about it!! By the way, the Nancy Drew movie was cute, her outfits were adorable and I need a Roadster!!! |

OH!! GRACE!! That was you wasn't it!! That's right!!
too funny.. ok good!!
I didn't get MY Martini!! where the heck was I at??
Always in the wrong place ain't I???
Michelle.. You didn't see that Cowgirl Fabric that Elizabeth had found at her Hobby Lobby then?
everyone talks about that store..
My Mom even has one by her in Illinois.. but ever once in a while she gets mad at them & does her little personal "Phyliss Boycot"..
she does that with just about everystore that she goes to though.. Funny old lady..
Hope your feeling better Kiddo!!!

Nope, sure wasn't me getting those mini aprons done yet. At present working on tea towel to finish it. Having way too much fun.
Grace with moving how in the world are you getting those aprons done!!!!
Michelle, hope you get rid of the infection soon. Don't ya hate sinus rinses, and then the fact that they work, ugh.
Been doing the same for a week. It is working.
Hope to start the mini's in the next week.
Have a great day gals. Later, Carol Sue

ok.. now i know soem of you have REALLY questioned a few things about me.. & this just may nail it for you.. i REALLY have nose issues.. i will spare you the details.. but i LOVE to irrigate..
something so soothing about this..
It's like .. takes me to an out of body experience or something..
I want a COMPLETE empty nose..
I know that rght now you've taken a step back.. it's ok.. i know how NOT normal this is.. But i love it!! I have had bloody noses my entire life.. I KNOW how obsessed this is.. remember the vicks vapor stick? yeah.. since I was like 6 years old.. ok.. i'm sure i have some serious damage going on there.. but there's nothing better then soothing salty Saline water running through my sinuses!!
Alright..that's enough.no more laughing..it's my birthday damn it!
I'll allow one snicker & a giggle each.. then check it Girls!
Love ya!

| Happy birthday............ and yes you may be nuts for liking the sinus rinse (wink). It was a little soothing. And I felt better for all of a moment and my nose was stuffed up AGAIN!! My husband thinks I should do it again tonight. I have often said when my sinus were icky I wish I could take my nose off, wash it, and put it back on. I think the sinus rinse is the same thing only you don't have to take it off. My husband did it too, he loved it. He thought it was the neatest thing. I must admit it grossed me out a little. I have done everything but aprons today when I needed to just lay around. Mom and I went and got peaches from a peach farm. I put them up in the freezer, well I was disappointed because a BUNCH of the peaches on the bottom of the box were rotten. I won't get started on that one. Made cinnamon rolls with my bread machine for my Dad and made that good beer bread like you get at salt grass. I am so done and so tired........ and I have a messy house. So I guess I should not even be on here. On the bright side I think we are going to put some shelves up this week and fix up my sewing corner. Right now I have to take everything out and lay it all over the dining table and I think thats why I cannot get myself to the point to start anything. Well, I am going to go take a hot bath and get ready for bed early. Kathie, I will think of you next time I rinse my nose! ha ha |

I worked on mini aprons while talking to my husband while he ironed clothes  Gotta love a man that irons!! Got them all cut out and the bands pinned on ready to stitch and embellish.
Has anyone seen the tiny clothes pins anywhere? I want to hang them up to take a picture 
Peace,
Stephanie

hey Steph,
yep, Michaels has those mini clothpins. I bought a little tray of them. 4 designs, bees/ladybugs/sunflowers & daisys. I think it was $4.95, but I never pay full price, I use my 40% off coupons....

Oh & you can always buy the little plastic pastels colored ones in the party supplies stores, they are usually used for decoration for baby showers & come about 12 to a package for around $1.00 +/-

| I was actually working on these when I should be finishing my red/white/blue quilt squares which are to be in the mail by June 30!! It has been fun making little things. I did some decorating on them and will cut them and put the binding on this week sometime. I cannot wait to see them all. I am planning to string mine along my hoosier!! |

Okay Kathie, you made me laugh really hard. I shall take your attitude and enjoy doing those sinus rinses.
Got the tea towel done and now am figuring out what in the world I am doing for the mini aprons.
You all have a great day.

Thanks Jessica and Grace...I'll look at the different clothes pins you have mentioned....I wouldn't have thought of a party supply store...
I figured I would need extra mini's for this and that so I've got 18 finished except for adding some extra embellishments 
This has been so much fun....
Jessica, your doll apron has not been forgotten!..LOL...I got started on the mini's and couldn't stop...
Peace, Stephanie
