Hello Friday!  Hello Friends!
I hope you are all doing great!
Are you working on projects for the Holidays?
I've been working on Christmas Cupcake Pin Cushions.
The zero calorie kind.

If  you have my PDF Cupcake Pincushion Pattern, you may understand a little more
about what this is all about.
If you don't, that is fine too, I hope you feel inspired.
Here are just a few ideas to CREATE a Cupcake Pincushion for CHRISTMAS GIFTS.

I will have more cucake pincushions available in my etsy shop soon!
I will ship your cupcake pin cushion in a "HO HO" Bakery Box.
Cupcake Pin Cushions are made with strawberry, cherry and polka dot fabrics.
The fabrics are versatile for year round.
 Each Christmas Cupcake comes with a apple green and white polka dot ramekin dish.
(my favorite part)

I'm also working on more cupcake bags!
If you would like to make this bag, a PDF pattern is available in my etsy shop.
 
Cupcakes are also fun for little Girls!
I think I have a weakness for cupcakes!

        
                                    Have a "sweet" day!
                                     Thanks for visiting!

Spooktacular Apron for your Spooktacular Treats!
From Window Valance to Apron!

A Seasonal Apron that can be used with all Seasons and Holidays!
Change the kitchen towel to match the season!
This is one of my favorite aprons to make!
It is SIMPLE and made from a WAVERLY WINDOW VALANCE!
Supplies:
One Waverly Valance on clearance $8.99 /reg.$ 39.99 (Tuesday Morning)
Waverly makes excellent window valances, the fabric is great quality and the valance is lined,
which will make a wonderful apron!
The fun part-- change your apron with the seasons!
One Seasonal Halloween Dish Towel

1.  Cut your valance  on both sides to the appropriate size.
This valance has a v-shape, measure accordingly so the "V" is in the middle of your apron.
2.  Unpick the ends of the valance.
3.  Make a 1/4 hem and sew.
4.  Leave a opening for ties to go through the top of the valance where you
would normally put your curtain rod.
5.  Add ribbon or any kind of trim to the top of the apron
by sewing the ribbon on both sides of the apron.
(You are placing your ribbon/trim as a hanger for your kitchen towel.)
6.  Add your seasonal kitchen towel
7.  You will be able to change your kitchen towel throughout the Seasons.
I like this apron because, you can easily throw your kitchen towel in the washer and
use your apron time after time!
8.  Make fabric ties that will feed through the casing of your apron and tie in the back.
You are finished!
ENJOY!
Thank you for visiting!
I will see you all tomorrow!



Welcome!
"Friends are fun!"
 Brought to you by my seven year old daughter.
I love the patterns/detail on the girl's dresses!
I so agree with her drawing. 
Friends give us warmth, sunshine, and smiles!
It's also great to look CUTE with your friends!
Who doesn't love polka dots, stars and hearts?
Speaking of hearts....I'm back with another
  Valentines apron(look familiar), one that matches
the reversible children's apron created from a kitchen dishtowel!

This one is created for my miracle daughter, my sweetheart, my friend,
who reminds me daily that
Life is Fragile.

I will share a few simple details on how to make it.

 For added length:  I added fabric to the dishtowel, which is your bodice front.
 1. Measure the desired length of your apron.
2. Measure the width of your dishtowel, cut bodice front accordingly.
(The width is 18 inches, the length of my bodice front is 12 inches.)
(My daughter is equal to a size 14/16 children's size)
If you want a larger apron you can add fabric to the sides of your dishtowel.

3.  Sew bodice front to dishtowel, right sides together.
4. For Reversible apron, lay apron on top of coordinating reverse fabric.
5. Cut your reverse side out, and set aside.

6. Make a band that slips easily over the heard from coordinating fabric
 (see directions for children's apron).
7. Pin your Rick Rack trim(optional) first to the right side of your bodice front.
8. Place band upside down on your apron front as shown.
9. Place reverse side of fabric on top, right sides together-- sew and press.

10. Your apron will look like the picture shown.
(If you want your rick rack on the front of the band, place it first, band second)
11. Make fabric ties for your apron
12.  Place Fabric ties between front and back of apron at the waist of apron or
where you are comfortable with your ties.
13.  Sew right sides together(front and back apron)
14. Leave a opening at the bottom of apron hem.
15. Turn hem under and sew.
 (The dishtowel shown was purchased with the eyelet trim.)

"Friends are fun!"

I'm a fan of aprons, especially handmade!  I love big pockets for crafting and cooking essentials.  How about you?  There are so many great apron patterns!  I have created my own pattern, since I'm guilty of never following a pattern, which I love patterns!  I love them for inspiration
 I am so excited about the new Halloween fabrics! 
I  found an adorable retro apron that is easy to make and FREE!
(Better Homes and Garden has great apron patterns).
You can find the apron directions HERE!
Let The Magic Begin!
Enjoy!
Happy Crafting and Cooking to you!

Have A "BOO"TIFUL DAY!
