Little Girl Apron and Potholder
Went to visit my sister last month and she created a pattern for this adorable child’s apron! We found the cutest fabric at Craft Warehouse to make it and man did it turn out cute….. So I decided to make a little hot pad to match. I entered it in the Prudent Baby pot holder contest in hopes of winning a brand new sewing machine!! They featured my pot holder on their site! Love it!! And as soon as the apron was complete my little girl just had to put it on and bake something! So we made some sugar cookies to celebrate Valentine’s Day coming up!

Christmas Crafts
Christmas Crafts…Thought I would share some photos of the Christmas Crafts that kept me busy this year… Family Letters for my Sister-in-law.
