so i for got

As school has been winding down I have been looking forward to it as then if i need to run to town then i dont need to wait unitl the kids come home from school.  I have been working on aprons for the teachers and for a trade fair i have in july.  any ways i told everyone that iwas making them and i thought i need to take pictures well i for got .  i remembered when the kids had just finished wraping them and i thought i am not rewraping them so i did not get any pictures of them.  but all the teachers loved them and they never know what i think of getting them or making them.  so i thought to keep my  christmas costs down yes i am talking about christmas , i thought  i would make everything.  so that it is easy to send to my sister who is in ohio and so that i am not spending on things people will not use.  i ahve lots of things to make and i know that i can get everyone something that they will need or want.  so i am trying to get everything in order to get all of that......

i am so excited that school is done.  i have been looking forward to getting my house in order so that we are able to go and do things.  i would like to go to the states, but we will see.  as i am not sure when.  i will beable to spend time with my kids and that we can have some times to sleep in and enjoy the summer.  my garden is growing good and soon i will be busy canning.  so how are you excited for summer?  what are all your plans.?  i will try to make sure i tell you what we have been up to and i will try harder to take pictures of what i have been making as so you can get ideas. 

so aprons aprons aprons

I have been sewing, cutting out and finding more material to make aprons.  the kids asked me to make some for their teachers as school is almost done and for on of my childrens it will be on next monday.  the other two have a few more days of playing at school,   then on to holidays.  how fun.  but back to the aprons.  my first atempt to make a grown up one turned out horrible so iam keeping it as a reminder not to make that pattern as i dont care for it to much.  lve the material i made wit hit but i do not like it.  anyways so i am going to keep it and use it when i am painting or doing anyting that is dirty and i need to wipe my hands.  iwill have to get more material so i can make a better one.  i have been working on one and it is turing out to being better then i  thought and i really like this pattern so i will wait and see what will happen at the end.  i will try to post pictures but that maybe not so as it did nto work last time.  so you will have to check out etsy instead.  anyways that is what i ahve been up too.  also i can been making baby blankets as there are somany people haveing babies and i love it so that i can visit the fabric store more then ever.  now i need to clean my house so i can sew while it rains. 

This is what I have been up too.........................SEWING

Lets start at the beginning..... I was at a Trade Fair the other month and I was selling my nursing covers and my hair things.  cute little hair do dats.  When people would come to my table and see the nursing covers they thought that they where aprons so i got a light bulb moment and it went like this why dont i just make some aprons and see if they sell.  so off to Fabric land and got some patterns then i went down stairs to my room and looked through all of my fabric that i had waiting to be used as something.  and so i started out with the kids ones as they seem to be the most fun and i have some to show now.  the models are my own children and now they all have claimed one of their own so these ones might not be for sale.  but we will see at how many like them and then i will tell you my secret of what fabric i used.  i tired to up load my pictures as i wanted you to see them but no luck i am unable.  not sure why but i will try to put them on my etsy.  To check them out check out my etsy which is treasureskatie.etsy.com.
