Friday finish of Aprons

These aprons turned out so well.







I think the little one is tiny.  My husband wanted to know if it was for a doll.  It is only 13 inches from top to bottom but that is what Melanie asked for...


Friday baking with Meyer lemons

I purchased a bag of Meyer lemons from the local Co-op store.  They were beautifully done up in bags and came all the way from New Zealand.  How could I say no.  Then I began searching for a recipe for a cake....

Here's what I made...
Tastes as good as it looks.  It didn't stay whole long.
If you'd like the recipe leave a comment and I will email it to you.

More Apron posts

I just take a bit of time every day or two and do a little bit on this project...
This is for the littlest girl...sooo cute....

And this is for big sister...

Back to the Little Apron Project

The cuteness continues.  Me being me I have to change up every pattern so these little aprons will be a variation on the one Melanie had in mind.  Shhh, I'll tell her later...
OK, so the parts are cut out exactly like the one I am copying but who knows from here.

More Little Apron Project

This is such a cute project.  I spent some time pressing a starching the fabric Melanie and I bought at Jo-Ann's.  What could be cuter than wise owls for little girls cooking.

So I cut the skirts and started playing with the trim...

My DD is even more darling as she was absolutely right!  The green looks great and I may even get around to quilting this one.  At least the top is done.
