Another New Apron

 

I made another apron

it's my new way of always

having my phone

with me around the house

and outside. 

This is the pattern

I used.

Only I rounded the bottom

hem on mine.

These are my outside

and reverse side 

fabrics. 

There is a lot of trimming

to do because of

the curses. 

Front

And Back.

No ties 😊

While I'm waiting on 

the lawnmower and tractor

to be repaired

I'm having fun sewing :)

Wishing you all 

a wonderful week

and thank you for 

stopping by to visit.

Makeover Apron

 

I've had some unexpected

time to sew :)

The tractor has been giving

me trouble since

driving over an above ground

root and getting the blade stuck

a couple weeks ago.

So I decided to get it fixed

before it turned into

something harder to fix.

I also had him take my 

push mower.  It has been sitting

for about 6 years, 

but started right up.  

The only thing is that the 

self-propelled function

doesn't work.

Well, with those gone

they put yard work on hold.

Time for fun with

the sewing machine.

  

This apron was a gift

from my sweet neighbor.

She gave it to me 

many years ago.

It is so cute but I 

haven't worn it much

because it's long waisted 

and has no pockets.

I love the flour sack look,

it's just my style :)

I shortened it up by

taking a tuck in the top

and adding a ruffle.

It did make me loose the 

pretty double blue stripe

and left an ugly pleat.

I've always heard that 

the best way to hide

something is to put it in

plain sight or draw 

attention to in. 

That's why I added the 

red heart buttons. 

As I said before it 

needed pockets.

One for my phone and 

one for doggy treats :)

Even since my fall

I am paying much more

attention to having my 

phone with me all the time.

Wearing an apron is the 

prefect answer to that. 

Well, that's what I did

today . . .

It's nice to have a 

garden break . . .

if I can just keep

up with watering & weeding. 

I'll be good until the 

tractor gets fixed.

Happy Mother's Day

Happy Mother's Day!

 This is a little bench

that I built outside

my greenhouse/potting shed.

Flowers picked from 

the garden.

These are from the 

garden, but look

at the sweet cozy 

wrapped around the jar . . .

💕

A handmade gift

from a dear friend.

I am blessed!

 

I wanted to make 

something simple

but cute for the garden.

So, I went to my 

scrap bin.

Yellow is so cheerful :)

Little yellow flags . . .

putting on a happy face 😎

You already saw them once,

but I'll just show them again.

 

These were gifted me by

lovely friends that stopped by 

this week to see how 

I was faring with my back.  

🌸🌻🌹🌻🌸

I'm happy to say that even

though I'm still in 

a lot of pain, I am 

seeing an improvement each

and every day :) 

🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢🐢

slow and steady :)

Again,

Happy Mother's Day!

for the beauty that comes from within, 

the unfading beauty

which is so precious to God."
