I joined up for the Sassy Apron Swap earlier on in the year thinking that it would be loads of fun to make an apron for someone and even loads more fun receiving one from someone else that loves to craft just as much as me.... I was so surprised when I collected the post this morning.... 
Yep, that's right, a lovely big package from the USA.... I could barely contain myself from squealing with excitement!!!! In all of my wildest dreams I never imagined that my apron could look anything like this..... 
Or this......
Yes that's right, it's reversible!!! So I really got 2 aprons, what a bonus!!!! Adrienne you're a genius!!!!! She even threw in a matching tea towel, a bottle of tabasco sauce and a divine recipe for some bloody Mary's that I just can't wait to try.... The theme to her apron was naughty but nice...... 
The apron that I've designed for my partner is very vintage, well I hope that's what my partner thinks anyway.... I'll post some picks once she receives it....

Not a very good shot, I know!!!!! If anyone has any toddler photo taking advice I'd love to hear it... LOL!!
Take Care.... :)
Now that is so nice and very you, how lucky you are...
ReplyDeleteYou are a lucky girl. Two aprons in one, great idea.
ReplyDeleteAs for the photography with todders?????
Now you know why they say never work with children and animals. It too me 14 shots to get one good one of my dog one day....
Lovely apron, you should have modelled it for us!!
ReplyDeleteGreat skirt for little miss!
Very nice aprons oops I mean apron! Great idea! The skirt is very cute too and gee the shirt looks very famillar! Pleased to see she is wearing it!
ReplyDeletegreat swap......can't wait to see what you made..........love the skirt also..........
ReplyDeleteFabulous apron - lucky you!!! I have that pattern and have yet to make myself one - I might have to give it a go. Your little miss is growing so much and looks very cute in her new skirt!
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you love your apron. Here's a link to where the pattern could be bought: http://monkeyfootdesigns.com/catalog.php?item=113&catid=31&ret=catalog.php%3Fcategory%3D31
ReplyDeleteAs for pics with toddlers ... ha - I haven't figured that one out either!
Great apron! The fabrics on both sides are adorable!
ReplyDeleteLovely aprons, it was fun being part of the swap. I guess toddlers are easy to photograph when they are sleeping, and they look angelic!
ReplyDeleteNaughty but Nice...hhmmmm...why do I think of you when I hear that!!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Anita...you should have modelled it!
Your princess is as cute as a button! But I can't think of any good advice for toddler photography! Myabe you need to be sneaky.....
Take care

ReplyDeletemy photo advice would be to take them whilst they are asleep! it's still a good shot though - i love those 'artistic' ones and i love the skirt you made.

What a great present. Love the reversible part too, how creative.
ReplyDeletegorgeous apron - very racy! I can imagine a 50's housewife with a cocktail in hand waiting for her husband to walk in the door!
ReplyDeleteToddlers: My toddler is my etsy model and I have learned that I have to be super fast, take loads of shots (so you may end up with one OK one) and have the Wiggles on the TV just behind where I am taking the shots...
A little like taking a photo of my chickens I do believe. Very difficult! Love your aprons - lucky you.
ReplyDeleteHi, like you i am flat out keeping up in bloggy world at present...jolly sheep!! But I am catching up tonight and so impressed with all your great mail-I have a feeling that apron is designed to be worn on it's own!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd the quilt you got in the wap...yumm---meee!! lol Tracey

ReplyDeleteLove the apron and the fact it is reversible...super cool. We sold our place and in a rental. Fighting winter non-stop sick kids at the moment! Not the best season for us!
