Spring Mug Rug

I recently joined my First, Mug Rug Swap!

I had Never even made a mug rug before

but I was seeing them all over blogland & really wanted to try it.

So...

this is my Very 1st Mug Rug, made for

Karin in Sweden!

I used a pre-pieced madras main fabric & then added

Polka Dots for the back & binding;)

I wanted to add a flower applique made from my new Cricut but,

I was running short on time so I made a Felt flower &

used the ZigZag for the stem & leaves.

I think it turned out pretty Cute for my 1st try:)

Then I wanted to add a little more Cute to the package

So, I made these Yummy felt Donuts!

I think they Look Good enough to Eat & Sooooo Easy:)

Back to the Future Apron Swap

For my Partner in Shawnee's

"Back to the Future" Apron Swap!

My Partner requested a Futuristic Apron...

this is My twist on Futuristic.

She Also hinted that she Liked the 50's theme...So I added the Hot Pink 50's Ruffles

I hope She Likes her Apron & Goodies!!

Busy Busy Busy!

Whewww!

I have been Sewing like Crazy. It started with My Hosting a Cupcake Apron Swap on Swap-bot, then I was invited to the Hot Mamas "Alice in Wonderland" Apron Swap.

It's been awhile since I have Swapped & I have Really Missed it!

So, here is the Apron I made for My Partner in the Alice in Wonderland swap. She did Prefer a Full apron but left the rest up to me...

And to tell Ya'll the Truth..I went a Little Wild with the Cupcake Apron swap.

While at JoAnns, the Cupcake fabric just Seemed to Jump in my basket & I ended up Making 5 (Yes, 5) aprons!

The first 2, I made Before I had my Partner info...Well, they ended up being the Wrong size, Wrong Style & Wrong fabric choice! (posted earlier)

The next 3, I chose the Same Full apron pattern.

My partner Does Not like girly, So I made hers a little less frilly & can You believe it...I didn't take a Photo of hers:( I finished it late in the evening & was in a Hurry to get it packaged for the mail the next morning.

This is 1 of the extra ones I made...Keep or put in My Etsy shop???

And Last but Not least...Another Extra;)

Keep or Sell????

Cupcake Apron

I just Couldn't Wait to get Started on the Cupcake Apron!

I actually made 2...I thought I would send One to My Swap Partner & keep the Other.

Now, I'm not so Sure.

I am Thinking of listing it in My Etsy shop!

I know this Sounds Silly, I could be done with my Shopping & Sewing

but,

Thats just IT!

There were Soooo Many Fabulous "Cupcake" fabrics & I need an Excuse to do some More

Fabric shopping:)
