Java Love

Look what I found in my coffee Sunday morning, a little bit of love from my favorite cuppa!  How I missed my daily dose of coffee while I was preggo, apparently it missed me right back.

And now that all is right in the world between my coffee and me and Emily and family are all settled back into familiar routines, I think that it is time to get back to work!

It's not as easy as I thought it would be, finding time here and there to carve out a little space for my self to create.  But I am working on it, were going to start off small with little projects here and there for the shop and hopefully finish Payton's quilt some time this century.

In the meantime I am having a sale to clean out the shop a little and make room for the new.  Check it out here!

Amy Butler Love

Love Gathered Front Apron , originally uploaded by Sweet_Things_Design.

Have you seen the new fall 09 Amy Butler line of fabric called LOVE. If not I highly recommend you check it out because you will fall in love with all the beautiful new fabrics.

If I could I think I would buy every piece in the Love line but for now I started with these pieces of the collection, Memento in Midnight and Sun Spots in Mint, to create the beautiful apron pictured above (Love Gathered Front Apron). 

Also, created with Amy Butler fabrics, the Sky Poppy Gathered Front Apron. This apron fabric is from the very popular and beautiful Midwest Modern 2 line, I used the Sky Fresh Poppies and Honeycomb fabrics. I coveted this fabric forever and held onto it with both hands for quite a few months before I broke down and cut into this pretty fabric. And I am so glad that I did, this apron turned out so pretty and feminine.

Both these featured aprons will be at the Holiday Show later this month. To see more pictures of these lovelies please visit me on Flickr.
