It's in the Mail!

The package was posted on Tuesday ~ flying to my partner! What fun this has been!

First Swap Apron- Done!

I had to battle through a ripped finger nail, nasty cold and car troubles, but I prevailed and my apron is done! I also was able to make a matching 50s hair flower to go with the black cherry cosmopolitan cocktail apron (I don't know if such a martini exists, but it definitely captures the colors of this apron). My favorite bit is the oval pocket trimmed in pink velvet ribbon and ruffles.

I hope my partner likes it. I'm planning on making one for myself with the leftover material :)

I feel so sad

I never thought to decorate my glasses. I didn't know they made glass paint pen things. Sorry partner. But I mailed it off today. That's a good thing.

Well I found A Martini Glass!

Took me awhile to find one that gave me some inspiration! I am not on the ball like most of you other ladies but I think now I can get hopping!

Aprons Away, "Snow" Glad...

I sent mine out Friday, cause we woke to this Saturday morning...

I wasn't going any where & being a newbie had to have mine out before Sunday.

Here is what I whipped up & sent off:

Hope my secret partner enjoys her cocktail-to-kitchen-reversible apron, vintage with a modern twist. As a first time swapper, I really enjoyed myself. Designing for someone else pushed me to try a new style, and it's always fun to expand on your skills.

Embellishments:

Lace, Bow, & Ruffles

Also sent along a few goodies with the martini glass, I attempted to hand-paint. Hope it all arrives in one piece, I used A LOT of bubble wrap:)
