The weekend brought sickness to our family. Lizzy started with an icky nose (a lovely shade of yellow and green) Saturday so that meant I had to stay home from church :-( Monday I started feeling bad and wasn't able to go to my ladies bible study that evening. This morning Anna woke up in a bad mood and layed on the couch all day. She laid down for her nap (regular time 2:00pm) after lunch at 12:30pm and is still not awake! I'm feeling better today and boy do I need to get out! So in my stir craziness I had this crazy idea. . .the girls love to cook with me and none of us have aprons. I started looking through my fabric to see about making an apron for myself and stumbled upon some fabric and ribbon I've had for quite some time. There wasn't enough for an adult apron, but plenty of fabric for child size aprons, so I thought I'll give it a try. Here are some pictures of one of the aprons I created today! I'm not a great seamstress, but I do love to create things!
This one I call my "chicken apron", the chicken is a pocket as well as decoration. Emma is such a good little model! I made a few others, more plain. I'm going to tackle an apron for Lizzy next!
Jody's been bugging me about trying to sell all my "creations" for years, I think I'm starting to warm up to the idea. What do you guys think?

What a cute apron! You should sell your creations. You are a much better seamstress than you give yourself credit for! :) I hope you guys are feeling better. Let me know when you are feeling good and we will have to go to the park so you can get out!
I agree with Pam- You are a much better seamstress than you make yourself out to be. I am impressed!!!
I love the apron! You are so talented! I think you should start selling your stuff on EBay or something. You have some really good ideas. Emma makes a very cute model. I am sorry you all have been under the weather. Lizzy still had fun last night even though she didn't feel good. She's such a little trooper! :-)
