With temperatures below freezing and a cold brewing on the horizon (stuffy headed haze), I thought it was best to stay inside and tackle some of my holiday projects. So, Nancy, if you’re reading – Stop NOW!

This apron is for Bret’s step-mom’s birthday that’s coming up in a few weeks. She requested a hand-made apron this year and I happily obliged! I decided to make her a pleated, contrast stripe, floral apron instead of a ‘holiday’ themed version… I figured she’ll get more use out of it. I also plan on making some matching oven mitts with the remaining fabric I have on hand, but first, it’s back to those boxer shorts and learn how to change the blade in my serger. That may be an all day project!
