I sew. Lots. Almost everyday. Only 10 percent of what I make ends up in my etsy shop. The rest goes on me, my kids and some very choice friends and family. If I had a dog, I'd probably sew ridiculous outfits for it too. Man, it would be one lucky dog.
Pin It Now! I am completely lost without a write-in calendar hanging on my wall. Usually, I download a free one that some other creative person was generous enough to share, but this year I decide to make my own... I hope you enjoy this lovely silk and lace calendar I made!
Note: Each page measures approximately 6.25" x 8.5" (printed on standard 8.5"x 11" white cardstock). Use the faint cross guides in each corner to cut to size. Shown mounted to black cardstock. CLICK HERE FOR PDF FILE
Pin It Now!Here is a gift that is sure to please the bride-to-be. It's a fabulously feminine and chic apron with matching potholders. This particular set is intended as a bridal shower gift that I'll be attending tonight. I love how cute it turned out with its dainty ruffles and bow, and desperately want to make one for myself to keep. As most of you crafters already know, it is a rarity to find time to actually sew something for yourself. I've been meaning to sew myself an apron for well over a year, but have always had other pressing projects to finish. One of my new year's resolutions is to save as many of my shirts from grease stains as possible by FINALLY treating myself to an apron that makes me giddy every time I put it on to cook. My own apron will be patterned after this one (which I didn't use a pattern to make), so I better hurry up and make mine before I forget how I put this one together :)
I also made some darling recipe cards to top off this gift. They fold into standard 3 x 5 inch recipe cards. I've included a pdf file for your enjoyment. The below link will send you to scribd.com so you can download it for free. (Designs and graphics created by me) When you print, be sure to print it with no scaling so it maintains its 5 x 6 inch dimensions. Happy cooking!
