IT'LL BE ON ITS WAY TODAY.....

I just need to pop it all in a box and take a drive to the post office...............and it'll be on its way to my partner:->
I loved making this apron...............I was so excited when I found this fabric...........it just said "cocktails" to me.
The martini glass gave me the chance to try some thing I'd wanted to for a LONG time - glass etching. It was sooo much fun - if you've never tried it, I can highly reccomend giving it a try.

I really hope my partner like the apron and goodies - I sure enjoyed making it for her:-)

Here's My Chocolate-tini Apron!!

It's all finished and ready to go!! It will go out in the mail this afternoon. I hope my partner likes it.
I added a few little goodies to go with the apron, but I'll keep those a secret so she'll be surprised when she gets her package.


Happy Valentine's Day!!

Almost done!




I finished my apron! Yay! I had worked on this apron this fall to sell at my craft bazaar. I followed the pattern EXACTLY and when it was 'finished' I tried it on and the neck strap which was one big piece of bias tape which was also the waist straps was WAY TOO LONG on the neck. It was made for someone who would be 7 feet tall at least! I was so mad and frustrated, I put it away and just couldn't work on it. Then when this swap came up and I got my partner info, I decided it would work out perfectly. So I cut the ridiculously long neck strap and fixed it by adding buttons and the fabric flower.
I'm going to make a matching fabric flower for the martini glass as well. This weekend, I get to sew all weekend with my quilt group at our local school and I will make up my martini flower then!

Mine's All Done Too!





This swap was just too much fun. Hope my partner likes her reversable apron and all the goodies. It is off in the mail tomorrow morning!! Teresa

Look What I got!

Look what I got from my swap partner Purple and Green, truly are my 2 favorite colors! I have my sweet apron hanging in my kitchen right now....Thank You so very much Tulsie.

Oh and my hubby dearest, who was hoovering over my shoulders to see what was in the box...spotted the Milanos...so being the wonderful & loving wife that I am, after all Valentines Day is just around the corner,,,, I shared them with him.

I luv the sweet martini glasses too! I can hardly wait to put them to good use.

Thank you again so very much from hubby & me.
