Creative and Busy night!

Last night after work I come home to a huge dinner prepared by my hubby! We had steaks on the grill, twice baked potatoes, corn on the cob and baked beans. YUM!
So after dinner, I mowed the grass since hubby didn't feel up to it after cooking. I don't mind since we have a rider. It still takes about an hour, but I just enjoy my thoughts while mowing.

After that was done I came in and watched my soap as it was being replayed and I cut out some fabric to make a childs apron. I found a really cute tutorial for a Childs Classic Apron. From start to finish it only took me about 2.5hrs. Of course I still consider myself a novice at all this too. I am thrilled with the results! I didn't have time to take a picture this morning but will add one tonight when I get home.

We are having a garage sale on Sat and I don't think I am prepared enough! I have went through some items and have stuff laying everywhere! My hubby is supposed to set me up some tables in the garage but I imagine it will be a late night to get everything done. I thought about taking half the day off at work today but chose not too. I need my vacation days for other things like Florida in 2wks!! So any money we get from the garage sale will go for extra spending cash while in FL.

Have a Fantabulous Friday!!

Mothers Day Apron

I spent lots of time and frustration at my sewing machine this weekend on top of all the fun stuff I did this weekend.

I made my mother an apron for Mother's Day. It was rather simple but I made it difficult.

Here is the end result...

TGIF!

What a long week! Work has been super slow which makes the day utterly long, but gives me a chance to update here and there!
Too bad I couldn't bring my sewing machine to work with me. I would get a lot accomplished!

This week I worked on my first ever Apron...It turned out soo cute. It isn't perfect but I like it. I am self taught on sewing so I am always wondering if I am doing it right.

My sweet daughter is modeling it for me.

So for Mothers Day, I am making yet another apron for my mom. Just a waist down apron. I was at Walmart last night getting lunch for my son's track and field today and happened to end up in the fabric section...I could so get myself in trouble! So I limited myself to 2yards of coordinating fabric. I will share a pic of that later.
Oh and the track and field day is cancelled today because of the rain...

Rain Rain Go Away...
