Can I Post This Now?

As you may have noticed, posts have been kind of scarce lately. Long story short, I’ve been spending most of my “free time” working on our upcoming garage sale – cleaning and organizing the garage, unpacking boxes from as far back as our first move (well over a decade ago), sorting through the years of “stuff” we have unconsciously accumulated whilst our attention was focused on raising kids… Yowza. At any rate, the one creative thing I have made time for was making some aprons and dish towels for my friend Kim, so she could give them as gifts. I finished them last week, but didn’t want to post about them until I was sure I wouldn’t be ruining any surprises by doing so…

She requested a “royal blue and yellow” theme for the first apron, which I found to be somewhat challenging as they don’t seem to make fabrics in that combination nowadays. So, I got a bit of each and played around with combining them.

Eventually, it ended up looking like this…

I also made her a black and white apron with splashes of red…

And finally, some dish towels to go along with this apron…

Not too shabby. I really hope the recipients love them as much as they love Kim (who is incredibly loveable by the way <3). And now…back to the trenches for me!
