Apron

As you can tell I enjoy making aprons ...they had a tute athttp://tutorials.missouriquiltco.com/

that I really liked so I made one...mine isn't made from a tea towel ..it is from some fabric I bought at Walmart.......some of the last that I got from our Walmart.....much to my disappointment....we went early yesterday morning and most of the fabric was missing...yes it was gone...they are going to stop selling fabric.......they had a half price sell for one day...the day before I went....no one knew about it....except for the department manager.....I called 1-800-Walmart...they said that all Walmart stores will be stop selling fabric.....our DDIL went to her Walmart today...the lady there told her theirs was safe at least until 2011......so I guess I will just have to go visit them....and get my fabric fix .........

My sister has been wanting an apron, her wedding anniversary is next month ....so they are getting aprons too.

COUPLE THINGS I FINISHED LAST WEEKEND

Seems like I have been staying really busy lately. We were busy again this past week...it seems good to get a paycheck for 32 hours....we have only been getting 24 hours for a while now.

I finished the two aprons last weekend and one of them has been pickup and the other should be picked up this week. Pearl and Lori helped me make the pincushion...we had a lot of fun making it...it is for my sister.....she loves it....it is made from a half pint jar, a little fabric some batting and some glue......we put a package of needles and some buttons inside. I think Pearl and Lori are some good little crafters.

For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

FINISHED SEWING PROJECTS

I have gotten a couple things finished in the last couple days. I got the fabric for the apron at Walmart, I have always loved sunflower fabric and when I saw this I had to have some, I also love making aprons and really like the chef apron, I have been putting one big pocket across the front, but on this one I made two small pockets, I think I like the way they look. The birth announcement is for the Grandchild of a lady I work with, it is small and should be a pretty good size for his room.

O sing unto the Lord a new song: sing unto the Lord, all the earth.

MORE APRONS

I finished these two aprons yesterday. I am going to have to make Eddie one, he reminds me every time I make one that I still haven't made one for him. So I guess that needs to be my next one.

Caitlyn went to drama competition yesterday, she called last night to say she won 'First Place'. She really enjoys doing the competition. We are really proud of her.

It is a good thing to give thanks unto the Lord, and to sing praises unto thy name, O most High:

ANOTHER APRON

A friend called me at just before Christmas and ask me to make him an apron and told me he would pay me for it. I told him it would be after Christmas and he said that was fine. I posted a picture of it a week or so ago, he did pay me for it, and ask me to make one for one of his friends and paid me for it as well. Well the lady I work for saw the last one I made and ask me to make her one too. So I have now made three. I am showing you the machine embroidery I put on hers, I will take it to her tomorrow. I guess if the economy gets too bad I can do some sewing on the side, maybe we wouldn't starve to death.

It has been a cloudy day all day today, they say we might it a little sleet tonight, I am ready for some warmer weather, like SPRING.

GENESIS 3; 7

And the eyes ot them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

MONDAY

I had a pretty busy weekend, along with making this apron for a friend, I hemmed four pair for pants for another friend and started on some baby blankets for a shower this Saturday. I also cooked a big pot of collards with fatback and pig tails( real good for the ole cholesterol) I also fixed potato salad and deviled eggs and cornbread, we had that Saturday and Sunday. This afternoon I fixed fried fish, I can say we have been eating pretty good the last few days.

The move is going real good for Sammy and his family, they are pretty much moved in, Eddie Van and Pearl started their new school today, Amanda said that went really good, I am sure they will be making a lot of new friends. She said church went really good yesterday, and said they had several visitors for their first Sunday. Sammy was looking at the church registry the other day and saw the name of a guy that he worked with at the grocery store a few years back, they went to see him one day last week, Sammy was happy to find out that he already knew someone at the church.
