What it's all about


The Challenge: Stay away from the craft stores for ONE WHOLE YEAR! This, my friends, is a challenge for me. My craft room is ridiculously overflowing. I LOVE thinking/finding new fun crafts to create and then going to the store to collect the supplies. Unfortunately, many of these projects never get finished; some never even get started. So here I am, challenging myself to not buy any craft supplies and yet still create crafts everyday!
The Exceptions: Inevitably I will need to purchase things like adhesives, glue, and thread. Well maybe not thread... Also gifts are allowed. If a family or friend feels so inclinded to send me a gift of crafts supplies who am I to refuse? I may not finish a project a day, but I will at least try. I have two small children who take up most of my time. I also enjoy other crafts like quilting. Therefore, sometimes the projects just won't get done in a day. But, I promise to try my best!

Day 50: Christmas Apron

Am I way early or REALLY late?  Who am I kidding, it's way late!  I bought the fabric last year to make a Christmas apron and of course never got around to it.  I saw this fabric and couldn't pass it up.  The only thing I could come up with to make was an apron.

The fabric!

Sometimes I wonder why I can't just use a pattern.  Although I really am terrible at reading the instructions all the way through before beginning so I tend to make many mistakes!  Plus I spend so much time searching for a pattern I like.  Why not just doodle up some notes and make my own design?!?

The finished apron. I think I'll make a smaller version for my daughter.  That way when we make cookies during the holidays we'll match! :)
