Mamarazzi's Favorite Things Gift Swap

A while back I joined Mammarazzi and her Favorite Things Gift Swap.

I have been anxiously awaiting my gift from Tammy over at Home in Virginia and the wait paid off. Today when the mail came there was a big box waiting for me a the gate. So of course I run out to retrieve my GIFT! My patience paid off, Tammy sent me some very cool things. Here have a peek. Can you see it?

No? You can't? Well let me help you out!

How about now? You can see it? Oh good. Well Tammy sent me the loot. She loves fragrances so in honor of things that smell nice and pretty she sent me some carpet freshener, potpurri, pomegranate & mango lotion, hand soap, and body wash. Other fragrant items included Krockpot Kandles that smell like fruit slices and strawberri kiwi.....these you put in the little white potpurri dish with a tea light candle in the bottom. So to go along with that was a pack of tea light candles. She also sent me some Tropical Coconut Foot Lotion (something my feet are going to love) and a bar of soap that smells like Raspberry cream Cupcakes. I can see you all imagining the great smells that are floating around my kitchen right now. That's not all either, Tamy sent me some lovely red dish towels, a notepad for jotting down the week's meal plan and a magazine called Real Rooms - 100 ideas. Wow Tammy you outdid yourself. A big thank you for sharing your favorite things and a big thank you to Mammarazzi for hosting such a fun give away!

I made an Apron......

Remember a while back I said I got a bee in my bonnet and was going to try my hand at making an apron? Well, I didn't let my taxes rule my life and I made it. Still need to finish my taxes, but that is beside the point.

Here is the fabric I chose, very cute.

Here it is cut in the shape of the apron. Now to sew it together and add some bias tape.

Well here it is. It isn't perfect, I have a few spots to fix, but I did it! Pretty darn good considering it is my first project that involved more than sewing a srtaight line.

Oddly enough, you can purchase this exact same apron, print and all, over at Cupcake Provacatuer. The crazy thing is that I chose the print and pattern before I even knew about that site.
