My Funny Valentine



My goodness! My mother has been busy! Look at the darling apron she finished yesterday! We have been having so much with aprons lately. We even hung a clothes line of them up in the shop! Speaking of aprons, if you haven't shared in the joy that is this book, you must check it out. Mom and I got to see EllynAnne Geisel's collection of aprons at last years American Sewing Guild's Annual Convention. What a treat!





Mom has also been making pretties. We had a collection of beautiful, antique, crocheted & tatted tops that needed fabric added to them. We had already done a run of lawn & voile tops so we decided to go with fancy fabrics this time around. Pink, silk & rayon velvet; champagne, silk charmeuse; and handkerchief fabric.



Our birthday postcards are taking their sweet time at the printers. I'm afraid our January birthday customers won't get theirs until February! I was really hoping to avoid that....

I love that apron! Normally I don't wear them, but after seeing so many fabulous handmade ones I'm reconsidering my position on them. ;)

That top looks beautiful. I wish I could see more of it ;)
