I now have 9 beautiful aprons finished. 7 are above my sewing table, telling me to give them away earlier than Christmas (who wants to wait to give away fabulous homemade and totally beautiful things?). I am wearing one, and the last I laid across the rocker downstairs last night when I was getting ready for bed. Not a single one is identical, and I am happy with how all but one turned out. As soon as I have a camera, I will post a picture.
I am also excited that work is over for the week! I am ready to shop the hop this weekend (if I get to go!). I can replace all this fabric that has left my stash - 15 and 5/8 yards!!!
The girls are sleeping, so I was able to finish some volunteer work this afternoon. Tomorrow I will be able to finish it off, and then I will be good to go. Whew.
Now the only problem is to decide what to make for dinner. I've cooked every day this week, so I would love to say to myself, "Self, you've earned a break. Eat out!" but then I worry about spending all the food money before the end of the month. Then I say, "Self, if you didn't let DH convince you to eat out so much, you wouldn't worry about the money." And now I say, "Self. Really. Should you be talking to yourself like this? Isn't it unhealthy?"
Quilting, stash busting, sewing, my children (the Assistant, Spunky, Q, JoJo, Miss G, Sneaky Pete, and BJ), and my homestead.

Hi from new blogger ... it's okay to talk to yourself! I do it all the time ... take care Dzintra Ingrid
Self, is it okay to tell her that it is okay to talk to Self?! LOL Yup, I agree Self - it is okay to let the secret out! :)
Sounds like you have been busy! Was hoping for pics of aprons, but since they are for Christmas I can get over it! LOL
I say, treat yourself to not cooking everynow and then! The stress release alone is cheaper than a pschycologist! LOL
