Apron Magic.........................x

These past few days I have been creating kiddies aprons for littlest bumblebee's school class. They asked if I would make some to replace the old falling apart ones...."yipeee" I said, I love choosing fabric.

So using one of the bumblebee's aprons from home as a template.....I have been sewing away....so easy...and I thought....what a lovely gift idea? Can you imagine a little tinker opening the present to receive a home-made apron, and perhaps a jar full of dry ingredients for cookies, with a cutter?

Ewwww look at my grotty wall...yuck.

Anyway, I am please with the results and have handed the apron bundle in this morning to the teacher. Of course I would have loved to personalized each apron, added ribbons and trims, BUT I had a vision in my head. 4/5/6 yr olds bickering over who gets which apron...hummmmm plain they had to be!!!




I am also making a few little somethings for y'all. For now, you will have to wait. But it won't be long....

Happy Friday x



P.S Sorry about the piccies, it was late last night, and I needed to get them wrapped up.

P.P.S.....On a Friday I don't have to pick the bumblebee's up from school till 4pm!!!!.....Gosh all day for me....what shall I do? I feel like cartwheeling around the lounge......but I might pull something...and can I even cartwheel anymore???........I do love the girls, but mummy time is thin on the ground...( although Mr.Q is working from home, so I fear I will be a waitress all day).....ramble, ramble, ramble.
