Today I made matching Mommy and Me aprons. I really like Megan's, but am not so excited about mine. Maybe if I was to lose some weight, I'd like it better.

I used the free tutorial found here, and I modified it for Megan's measurements.

Remember the apron that gave me so much grief? I told myself I'd never again make another one like it.

I was wrong, of course.

Heather came over this morning and we made pincushions! It was a good time of fellowship, as well as sewing. Click through to see our creations.

The kids didn't need new Easter baskets this year. I have cute baskets that they have used for the last 3 years, and was planning on using those ones again.

Until....

Ray and I decided to go with blue as our color of choice this Easter. Last year it was yellow (which really was kind of ugly on the guys), and the year before it was green. Since Ray already has a nice blue shirt, we decided that blue was the way to go this year.

It was also decided that the boys would get new blue dress shirts and ties. They've been begging to wear a tie like daddy for a while now, so we decided that Easter was the perfect occasion.

I knew I wanted to make something matching for Megan and me, so off to the fabric store I went.

I really love how these note cards turned out. They were quick, easy, and each one is unique.

I love this apron.

I hate this apron.

I made an old fashioned rag doll to add to my collection. She's a bit rough because I was trying out a bunch of new things, but I really like how she turned out.

I've decided to try something a little bit different, and make a doll for myself. For those of you who don't know, I have a small collection of dollies. They are kind of old fashioned type rag dolls, and they seem easy enough to make. So today I decided I'd try to make one on my own...

This is my week to tie up loose ends. I have a lot of projects that I want to have done and in the mail by Saturday. So expect more posts than usual this week.

My first project was to make something fabulous from an old DCU shirt. A friend asked me to do this forever ago, and so it was past due.
