Snowmen Gathered Front Apron

Now that Halloween is almost here (just 3 more days) it's time to start thinking about Christmas!

I have a whole bunch of super cute Christmas fabric stashed away that is begging to be made into aprons for your holiday parties or gift giving. I started with this sweet snowman apron, the fabric is by Riely Blake.

I love the colors they are every retro Christmas! It's hard to see from the pictures but the red fabric features snippets from the very famous, much loved poem The Night Before Christmas.

The poem was a great family tradition growing up, my Dad read it to us every Christmas eve and my brother and I looked forward to it each year.

I have since inherited the family book, it is quite lovely, beautifully illustrated and so full of warm memories.

I now look forward to reading it to my son on Christmas eve and hope that he gets the same pleasure from it that we did as children swept up in the magic of the evening.

Plymouth Table Runner

All finished and photos as promised! I was in luck yesterday there was just enough light last night when I got home from work to take a couple of quick photos while Payton enjoyed his snack.

I am very happy with the results of this project. When I saw this fabric at my local store I just knew what I wanted to do with it, it yelled to be table runner!

The runner looks great on my black table but I think it would really shine on a white table or wood table top as well.

I bought another Thanksgiving theme fabric as well but noticed when I got home that it is not for commercial resale.

But it looks like I may be having Thanksgiving at my house this year so I will make it for myself :) And if not it will make a great hostess gift for someone else.
