aprons, aprons, aprons...

i am so excited to show (off) the aprons i just finished!

i planned an afternoon photo shoot and a final 'good-bye' before i packed these sweeties up and sent them off to their new home in texas.  you can see that it was a bit windy that afternoon...these are the best shots.  the others were a big fail! at least i tried.    

i had grown attached to them, all 23 of them.  it was as if i was giving up my new puppy or something.  please someone tell me that i'm not the only one who has 'project attachment issues'! 

i customized each apron with the initial of the party guest.  they have elastic neck straps and a Velcro waist strap.  i normally make them with ric rac on the top and bottom, but the customer elected to leave that off.  


i love how they turned out.  and i had to throw in a pic of my model wearing one!

silhouette vinyl on MY wall...finally!

busy, busy, busy...we are all terribly busy with family, jobs, activities, volunteering, crafting, sewing, etc., you know the drill.  it's becoming my excuse, and i need to stop that!

 

as you know, i was recently inducted into the 'i own a silhouette sd and love it' club.  i also joined the 'mine came with 2 rolls of vinyl that i haven't had a chance to use until now' club.  ;)

in our front room, we already have 2 picture ledges (thank you, ikea), that were not overly interesting to look at...until now!

i know i'm not original [putting our family name in vinyl on our wall], but thought it was worth sharing.  :) 

apron progress...in photos...

(b/c i don't have time to write! eek!)

scraps...these might end up on a cheap pair of pink flip flops...

the apron panels...all cut and ready for assembly

more scraps...

the initials with a circle background (have i mentioned how much i love my silhouette?)

fabric tubes that are destined to be waist and neck straps (all 69 of them!)

i can't wait to show you the finished aprons...
