Rainy Sunday Means Sewing Sunday

I was awaken yesterday at 4:30 am but one Dazzi Dachshund demanding that she needed to got outside by standing on my head. This in turn work of precious little Dott who said, "yeah, I need to go too" by standing on my chest and licking my face. Up I went to let them out and then they came inside wanting breakfast at 4:30 am mind you. So instead of listening to them dance and bark at me, I fed them. Now I'm awake - like really awake. I made a cup of coffee and waited a few minutes to see how I felt about going back to bed. Instead of sleep, I decided to sew. I sewed 4 aprons and finished up at 3 in the afternoon.






It was a long hard day at the machine but overall I am very happy with the results. Now if only I could sleep a little to catch up...

Aunt Pitty Pat's Mug Rug Swap

Originally uploaded by amysgreatadventure

I recently participated in the Aunt Pitty Pat's Mug Rug Swap. My partner was Cathy and she wanted a blue and white theme so she could use it longer than a Christmas colored one. This was so practical of her.

She sent me this adorable snowman and Mug with a them being Peace. I really just adore it. She sent along some great coffee and beautiful tin and recipe of her favorite sweet treat. I really think it was all so very thoughtful.

For her, I sent my snow flake themed mug rug and I hoped she enjoyed it as much as I did making it.

It's not how you fail but how you recover...

So a while back i was working on this apron and i snipped the fabric panel with my scissors leaving a gash in the fabric. I got so mad and frustrated i stuck it in the bottom of my UFO stack until I could even look at it again.

I took it out on Sunday to see if I had it in me to find a fix. I ended up cutting off the offending gash, adding some ric rac and a binding of the same fabric.

I hope it works...



Then I finished up last night the other apron for the other cousin...tonight I need to make the mom + sister aprons of this family and figure out 2 little girl aprons...yeah no time like last minute.
