Home Bound....

In my little corner of the world, it feels like we have been transported to the Ice Age...
we have had sub-zero temperatures and inches upon inches of snow...
So between shoveling and shivering, I have been sewing...


Any make from Ayumi Takahashi's book, Patchwork Please! is bound to brighten up a winter morning! 

I spent a couple of hours yesterday, putting together this precious apron...

 
I used lots of fun Yuwa fabrics and skirt part of the apron is kona snow.

A quick and happy make!


Now I think I will go bake some cookies!

    Sewing is my winter therapy too. And I've several urges to bake cookies last week.

    We don't have much snow on the ground but it is cold here in Iowa. I took a walk today thinking it might be nice to get some fresh air and came home frozen. I did not dress well for the occasion.

    Delightful little apron. The book looks like more delightfulness inside.
    Stay cozy. Spring is just around the corner:)

    What a cute apron. Don't get it too dirty making those cookies. We missed you at QuiltCon. So very fun to finally meet a few of the MCM girls. Lots of fun.

    Such a sweet apron! Here in Buffalo we're barely surviving the arctic freeze as well. I find myself pulling cheery, spring colored fabrics to play with!

    While you have been shovelling and shivering, we have been sweating and fainting. I would love to pull a cute apron like yours out and do some cooking, but I cannot face turning the oven on. Too hot! Salad for dinner!
    That is a seriously cute retro apron.

    You must have all the snow we're missing this year! Mr. Squash hasn't even gotten to use his new snowblower ;<( I adore the apron - so cute and versatile..I'll be checking out the book!
    Cheers!
