Apron At Last

I have been needing some new aprons for some time now - you know a couple of years probably.

I have half a dozen different patterns so it was difficult to decide which to make first.

But I had this lovely fabric of which there was just enough to make this style so that was the deciding factor as I don't have 3 yard pieces of fabric in overabundance in my stash that are not earmarked for quilts.

I like that this wraps completely around because I can definitely get messy.  The two pockets don't show well in the photo but they are the right height which being short I often find apron pockets to be situated too low.

So this pattern is a keeper.  Now on to my next project.  I would love to make another apron but in the box with this fabric and patterns I found some fabric I bought last year for napkins so that will be next.  Probably.

Hoping for magic

I got a really late start on a garden this year but figured, what the heck.

So here it is mid December and the fruits of my labor are still pretty dinky.

But gosh darn it, a mosquito just followed me back in the house!  And it was in the mid 70's today so maybe, just maybe some of that holiday magic will reach my garden.
