Sew Crafty Friday

Here's the third apron I've made in this fun fabric. The ties are made of the same orange and the ruffle.

If you'll go on to the next post you'll see the first two aprons.

Also, go see what others are making over at Shereen's by clicking on the Sew Crafty Friday picture above.

ETA: The book I used is More Retro Aprons by Cindy Taylor Oates. The doll version is from Little Retro Aprons for Kids by the same author.

Apron

I just did not want to wait until Sew Crafty Friday to post this apron.

Here's a picture of the book I used.

When dh saw it I could tell that even he thought it was cute. So, of course, I mentioned that now he could see why it was so hard to not buy things at Joann or any fabric store for that matter. There's just way too much cute out there. For that, I'm thankful. ; )

Garden Party

While I was inside slaving away vacuuming and mopping (I left them until last) Amy was outside having a blast as you'll see in this album. This picture is just a little taste.

Zucchini

This post is supposed to serve two purposes. First, I'm avoiding vacuuming and mopping. Second, I wanted to give Cheri over at Southern Hills Ramblings another zucchini idea. LOL!

I had left over shredded zucchini from the bread I made and I didn't want more bread, so I just sauted it in butter with green onion and salt and pepper to taste. It's very fast and very easy.

I had the last of it this morning with eggs. Yesterday I had it on top of a turkey burger.

OK, now I suppose I must get to work (or not). ;)

Very short medical update

This morning I had blood work done and a CT scan. I should have some results next week.

AG sewing swap

This came today from AG-Sweetheart from AG Fans Board.

Isn't it cute! Look at the rickrack and trim.

Emily & I are happy and thankful. ;)

Anna's nightie, Etta's apron

See Shereen's blog for others' items.

Amy brought me a new pattern last week for Bitty Twins' clothes including this nightgown. It's made from stash fabric. (I'm sure I'll never run out!)

The trim was also from the stash.

When Fabric Obsession had their sale in the spring I bought a book of patterns for aprons. It was for kids and included a pattern for a doll apron. Etta gets this one. These fabrics are also from the stash. They were in the Red Tag section at Joann. I first found one of them at one Joann store then happened to find the coordinating ones at another store.

I recently found the adult version of the apron pattern book on ebay, so the next apron will be for me. :) It's cut out and ready to go. But today I need to do a little cleaning.
