Thank you Cynthia!

I arrived home from school today to find a package with my name on it. Inside I found this Back to the Future themed apron and goodies. Cynthia included school supplies for me, which are already packed to take to my classroom tomorrow. She also made a matching pouch with the lotion and lip balm inside. Thank you Cynthia!

Kee-Rips I'm Late

I must confess this was a difficult swap for me and I kept putting it off because I could not think up something good but with a little inspiration I gott-er done and I must say... I am pleased. My apologies to my partner for my sluggishness. I hope she enjoys it as much as I did making it.

To my partner: The apron is wash and wear ready. Will not shrink stretch or fade. Don't be afraid to wear it. It is built to last. Machine wash and dry (low). The dish cloths are also made to use in the kitchen or bath. They wash up great and can be bleached if needed. The cool thing is that they will never get that yucky mildew smell like other dish cloths. If you are not familiar with knitted dish cloths they will shrink dry and stretch out when they are wet. The gloves are LATEX FREE so no worries there AND they will not make your hands sweat or get that yucky smell either. Use them anywhere, inside or outside. Just rinse and hang dry.

Hope you enjoy...

On its way to its future home...

Here is a peak at the apron I made my partner - she requested 50's. I decided to do something less traditionally 50's but still staying within those perameters ...... I am very happy with the result.


This apron begun its life as 4 lovely linen (love the weight of the fabric) dishtowels:-) It's amazing what you can do with dishtowels, binding and a little navy fabric. I hope my partner likes it.



I'll keep my tuck ins a suprise....
The 50's one was to do with food ....... I'm pretty glad I wasn't around to enjoy the gastronomic delicacies of the decade!!!
The 80's one paid hommage to the music and bad fashion of that decade - this was however the decade of my teens:-)
The 21st century item, acknowledged our busy, on the go lifestyles, as well as the trend to recycle and reuse.

Thanks Shawnee for another fun swap ......... Halloween to follow - can't wait!!!!!

Apron Arrived!!!

I received a gorgeously wrapped package from my generous partner, Amy today. It is so fun! The tuck-ins include a notebook, a Pacman mug, some crocheted pot holders, a magnet and some beautiful earrings!!! Here are a couple pictures of this awesome package:

I just love this apron. It fits perfect and is super fun. Thanks Amy for this special package!!!

p.s. It was fun to get this package from another homeschooling Mama, like myself :-)
