Red Apron

The one that got me started on making aprons for Christmas. I made it for one of my bridesmaids who loves red and is really fun and quirky. It matches her perfectly! {And yes, the waist tie is getting switched out}

Vogue Influencers on Facebook

I won the bracelet below and wore it to the Fox. It is so pretty!

Christmas Presents





This year for Christmas, I made most of the ladies an apron. All of them started from thrifted skirts or shirts. I cut them apart at the seams and used the back to create the bib. I had so much fun designing each one and fitting it to each person's personality! I even got commissioned by my husband's boss to make one for her mother-in-law. Even though I had started in August, I ran out of time to finish all of them, so a couple people got an unfinished apron with a promise of getting it back finished later.

Colored Bubbles

I found five bubbly glasses at the thrift store in pink, green, dark blue, and two aquas. The aqua are my favorite, of course; I hope to find enough of each color to make a set of twelve someday. Our friends discovered why they had been donated, though. The foot on the bottom is hollow, and when the glass is set down quickly it can splash a droplet onto the drinker's face! Rather then be annoyed, the glasses have become everyone's new favorites.
