My first full apron

My SIL Kim desperately needed an apon. She is always messing up her clothes while cooking. She likes red and black together, so I decided to make her this apron for Christmas (modeld by my little sister):


I combined two views of a Simplicity pattern. I used a cherry patterned cotton and some red and black broadcloth. For my first full apron I love how it turned out! I even put two pockets on it!

Halloween Costumes

I know this is late, but I decided to make Kaylee a Tinkerbell costume to go with Tyler's Peter Pan costume. The kids had a great time trick or treating around my coworker's neighborhood and at Auntie Kim's work (the assisted living home). Ryleigh wore a little pink kitty suit that even had a tail!
I will post some photos soon.

Welcome to my new blog!

I have been thinking about starting a blog for some time now to show off my craftiness. Finally, I am getting around to it! This blog will be dedicated to my crafts and the crafts of others that I like.

Just to get us started, here are a couple crafts I have made for other people recently. First, a set of reversable placemats:


Second, a bed caddy with the recipient's name embroidered in Hebrew (and her dog):

That's all for today, but check back, soon, for some more great stuff!
