A Summer’s Day’s Pinks

Well it is just too darn hot and muggy here to go outside to take any pink pictures, even though our bougainvillea is blooming like mad, as are our Mexican bird of paradise, so pretty…We are getting the tail end of a monsoon coming at us from Arizona and the Baja…enough to make it humid and muggy, but not a lick of rain..BOO!

Anyway, in celebration of Pink Saturday and staying INDOORS, I thought I would share some new fabric I just received..I am so anxious to fashion these fabrics into aprons, time now to put your dibs in!  Taking orders!

These are called Sugar Roses…Ah what stunning fabric and vibrant color..isn’t it scrumptious?

I am going to pair it with this..

Or maybe a cute paisley?

Paired with this..

Lastly, some sweet glittery fairy fabric

Paired with this..

,

So..am I on the right track??  Will get these sewn up this week and get them listed in my ETSY Shop..

I am sharing this for Pink Saturday, please visit our sweet hostess Beverly over at How Sweet the Sound, and while you are there, pay a visit to some of my fellow Pinkies!

Have a wonderful and blessed weekend~

And A Flirty Aloha to you!

have to tell you, I am so excited!  I received my Flirty Apron Swap box from my partner, Sally at Glamping Cowgirl.  Inside the box was a beautiful reversible Aloha apron, and lots of goodies, too!

Thank you to Sally, I love everything and I know a lot of work and thought went into your package to me!

Here is what I sent to my swap partner..not sure if she has received it yet or not so not going to blow it by telling you who she is!  I hope she likes mermaids!

I’m going to keep the tuck in’s a secret for now! 

I love participating in these apron swaps, I meet the  nicest ladies and it’s so much fun!  

How I Spent My Friday Night!

Well, last night was the monthly Friday Night Sew In, and so I got comfy, put on my jammas, and got crackin’.

First, I needed to finish hand sewing the waistband of an apron that was almost finished..

there, now it’s done..

After that was done, I decided to cut out the fabric for my Paris apron..

How wonderful is this fabric..gosh I wish now I had purchased more!

I then put the finishing touches on a coffee cozy to match the above lacy apron

And on to the Paris apron…Oooh la la!

I actually got quite a bit done last night, I find that sewing calms my nerves and I love to see the different fabrics that I can put together and come out with a fab finished product..

Thanks so much for stopping by!
