I love fabric stores. I love looking at all the colors and feeling all the textures and imagining all the amazing fun ridiculous things that I could make from each of them. Right now I'm on an apron kick. I'm not sure if it is because of my recent obsession with sewing useful/cute things for home, or if it is slight bitterness from not getting to make my sister-in-law the super super cute one I was going to for her birthday last month because her other sister bought one instead (I couldn't show her up, you know.). The obsession was only made greater by my adorable hubb buying me a vintage-y apron with pink trim and cupcakes all over it. I still haven't gotten to make one and its making me antsy! Sooooo...
While, like anyone else out there, I don't always LOVE my job, what I do love are the great people like my friends Bree and Dani. If it wasn't for those two women, I know I wouldn't have made it through the holiday season. Bree and Dani are a lot like me: work-a-holics, happy with their families, over achievers that are borderline masochistic because of their need to do a good job, and most of all, domestic goddesses! Dani can bake like nobody's business. Sweet, savory, fresh, spiced, luscious, light, she can do it all. Bree bakes and cooks, too, when she isn't out and about sewing amazing 3-D christmas stockings with stuffed snowmen and mooses on them and things of the like. As far as San Diego goes, right now, they are my closest friends. I trust them almost entirely. That said, good friends deserve rewards, and what better reward than a CUTE APRON?!!!!!!
Bree's apron will be made out of this cute aqua colored fabric, with a bright red ruffle trim and waist tie:
Dani's apron will be this golden zinnia print with a butter yellow ruffle trim and a lemongrass waist tie:
I don't officially have a pattern for an apron so I'm going to wing it. I'm going for something ultra feminine and slightly vintage. Wish me luck.
