Time to brag about my daughter - again. Here is an excerpt:
Hello everyone! I'm so excited the month of July is OVER! I just completed the busiest month of my life, creativity-wise. July was packed with many deadlines (six to be exact) but I made it through! Oh, make that SEVEN deadlines if you count my spiffy new business cards and postcards I squeez

His and Her Aprons
Here are his and her aprons I made as a wedding gift. They both took only an afternoon to make. I modeled the chef apron from one I bought years ago for my husband. Yep, he's the cook in our house. It's probably the reason we've been married for over 35 years. He does all the cooking. After all, he once told me, he wanted to know what he was eating. Believe me, I cannot cook at all. My excuse is that I suffer from anosmia. Thank goodness he is a wonderful cook!
The fancy one was copied from a fabric panel I purchased at my local Hancock Fabric store. I've only made one of each, but I'm thinking that I'll be making them for Christmas gifts this year. I'm hoping to be able to post a tutorial for these soon.

Resuable Lined Grocery Bags
In the city where I live, beginning today, August 1, 2011, the grocery stores have finally banned plastic bags. They can still be purchased, but it will cost 10¢. So, I've decided to make my own. I know that sounds cheap, but I've been meaning to make some any way that were close to those plastic bags that were used. I found a very good tutorial over at NTHNBUTMOONSHINE. The directions were very clear and easy to follow. The fabric I used was a good sturdy cotton fabric. I will be making more of these, including some that won't have any lining as well.
