Sweet swappin'

I got home from a bbq tonight to find a little package on my front stoop... Could hardly wait to open the package- I am InLoveWithThisFabric. So on over to Scarlet Tananger and say hello to a very talented lady!
Look how fun this is- I got not only a great little apron, vintage pattern, crazy retro print- but also an oven mitt and a cool little recipe book- I think Scarlet scanned in fabric and printed out the pages for the recipe cards. It is so friggin fun- I need to have a dinner party- now- Apron Swap goodies
Thanks so very much!
There will be a flickr gallery for all to see the creative work that went down with this swap- I am looking forward to seeing what everyone drempt up...
This is the apron I created for Kim... a little picnic inspired dish towel apron-
Apron Watermelon
Here is another dish towel apron that I finished last night for a wedding shower I am attending next weekend- I think it came out pretty cute~

I am off to play on the sewing machine....I feel as if my sewing skills need to be taken up a notch or two. I am no where near as handy on that darn machine as I would like to be...
My poor knitting needles are so sad and neglected- do you think they know that I am cheating?

Knitting, photography, sewing...it's all creating! Enjoy what you are doing. You'll want to knit this winter, no doubt. ;)

Your aprons are so cute. I love that recipe book your pal made.

Your secret pal definitely loves her apron! And so do her daughters! :) Somewhere else I read that you were worried about the stitching and such, but don't be- the fact that something was created by your hands rather than a factory machine makes even more treasured! Thanks again!
