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.

Saturday Afternoon

On Saturday afternoon my husband and I spent the day driving around and stopped for a quick picture. You can check out his website at http://www.nathanlarimer.com/

Spring Color Combo and Half Aprons are Awesome!

This is the first sign of spring and the summer to come. I bought enough fabric to make two with opposite fabric. Stay tuned to see how it turns out with the yellow floral fabric as the front!

Knocker Blocker For a New Mom

Just because someone is having a boy doesn't mean it all has to be blue. I choose a bold colored pattern for this new mom to be. I figured any girl needs some flowers. Matching the floral fabric with solid bold stripe turned out to be a great combo.
