Almost Done!

Yay!!!!!!  I finished my first apron swap project.  Ok, I finished the apron portion, but still have a little more work to do on the tuck-ins.  I am so looking forward to finishing up and sending off the package.  I love making things for others, and then getting a great surprise in return!  I love swaps and really miss participating in them.  I am really looking forward to getting my apron, since I am doing a lot more cooking lately.  And with the holidays around the corner, I will be doing even more.  I want to do a good amount of baking for the neighborhood and get the kids involved.  I still need to complete the tuck-ins which will be:

A-angel

N-notecards (angel)

G-ginger tea

E-earrings (angel)

L-lavender/geranium/lemon bath salts

Just a little sample of my apron

I hope my partner likes her package as much as I enjoyed putting it together.  It's a simple apron, but i really enjoyed making it and how it came out!

When I was growing up, my grandmother used to always say, wear and apron when you cook or bake.  I can't wait to get my apron and start using it.  I may even have to buy a new book on apron patterns.  I love how my apron came out and I want to make more.  I want to make more that are even a little more challenging.   Any suggestions on good apron pattern books?  Since I am new to sewing apron,  I would love any suggestions.  I have average sewing skills and am really loving sewing.

I can't wait for my package and more swaps to participate in.  Thanks for letting me participate.  I love seeing what everyone has made and all the great tuck-in ideas!
