A is for April, applique, and aprons

April 1, 2012

In my house April 1 is APRIL FOOL'S DAY!

For the first time in I can't remember when my husband did not play an April fool's trick!

He has really pulled some good ones over the years....

...like the time he set all the clocks up one hour and I took the kids to school early.  

Or the time he turned off the water main to the house!

He's a trickster.

One of my best friends called me today and told me that 

they were putting their house up for sale and moving to be closer to

their kids...........I bought it hook, line and sinker!

I've always been a gullible sort.

Look at me!

I completed my April Calendar block right on schedule!

I pieced, appliqued and quilted this block just today.

Now I'm all set for the month.

My sweet baby granddaughter loves to cook when she 

comes to her grammy's house and I've been meaning to make

her an apron of her very own.

I found a cute and pretty easy looking apron pattern on Pinterest.

Maggie, who writes a blog called

 Smashed Peas and Carrots

posted a great tutorial on making a vintage apron for a toddler.

Click on the blog name to make one of your very own.

On a recent visit to San Diego I bought this cool apron pattern book.

I'm anxious to make some of these!

I recently made this cute little apron for a little girl for her birthday.

The fabric has monkeys on it and the apron has pockets to hold crayons.

It was a Simplicity pattern.

As you can clearly see, my sweet baby needs an apron of her very own!

I think I'll work on that tonight!

Have a blessed day,
