Halloween continues

I fell in love with this vintage style Halloween fabric. I purchased 3 yards of fabric, knowing I wanted to make a few items. Why not start with the simple easy half apron. More "toned down" pattern (as my Husband says my normal patterns are too bright and exciting) of this fabric still holds true the fun of Halloween. By the way aprons should be bright and exciting. Trick-or-Treat!

Halloween Apron

August is time to prepare for new Halloween crafts. Also a great time to buy Halloween fabric before everyone else does. This simple pattern provides quick results, which allows you to spend the day doing other things you also love not just slaving away at the sewing machine all day. Enjoy.

Didn't catch any fish, but picked wild blackberries

This past weekend I went fishing with my husband. Unfortunately, we did not have much luck with the fish. Instead we had some great luck finding some wild blackberry bushes. Eating fresh fruit right from the source is one of the best experiences of summer. After we became intoxicated on fresh berries, it was time for some variety. The next morning I made blackberry pancakes for breakfast and blackberry pie for dinner. What a great way to end a weekend.

Stitch and Stew, oh how I've missed you. I can't say much more than that.
