Aprons make the perfect gifts...

Over the summer I gave my friend one of the children's aprons I made earlier this year for her bridal shower. Her friends liked them so much that they requested them too.

These 100% upcycled women's full length aprons are values at $30 each or $50 each for full length reversible.


Aprons make the perfect gifts for those family members or friends who enjoy baking. Check out my etsy store www.jnsweeney.etsy.com for more aprons. (Childrens full length aprons (for $20) and Mommy and me sets (for $40-$50) are also available.)

The Joy of Baking With The Family in Autumn...

Autumn is finally here! It's time to start dusting out those turkey roaster pans, gravy boats and fine China, that have been pushed to the back of the top shelf, ladies, because you have a thanksgiving meal to plan.

For those of you who have planned Thanksgiving at your home before, it's no easy undertaking... it involves "fall" cleaning and decorating, shopping for the meal and new clothes for the whole family, pulling out the fine china, silverware and extra chairs.

As family and friends start to arrive it's the hostesses job to make sure her guests are comfortable as they gather in the living room to watch the Thanksgiving day parade and/or football game while at the same time preparing the turkey, and all the fixings... while still maintaining her stylish hairdo and keeping her new autumn attire free from turkey grease. Ladies, tie those apron strings tightly, you have your work ahead of you.

I love this time of the year!

Whether it's cooking for Thanksgiving, or baking with your girls, these holiday aprons and mommy and me apron sets are sure to make this holiday special with a splash of vintage. These upcycled aprons recycled from vintage linens are just some of the cute stuff featured in my etsy store.

Easter is just around the corner...

It's a time to reflect on the ultimate love sacrifice Christ made for us by dying on the cross and in so doing, paid our debt for our sin, so that those who follow Christ might be forgiven by God and have everlasting life in heaven!

I have been looking forward to easter Sunday all month. My husband and I will be going to church on good Friday and Easter Sunday with the rest of our bible study. I can't wait.

Afterwards we are planning on going over to my husband's aunt's house for lunch and an easter egg hunt for the kids. It's a nice time to catch up with the our family, eat good food and watch the kids try and find the eggs that we have scattered around the yard. I'm going to be bringing some kind of dessert. I might try my hand at making Napoleons... one of my favorite desserts of all time, I'll let you know how they turn out after people taste them.

Last year I made some little chicks for the kids out of felt, feathers, and toilet paper rolls. They were so cute, and the kids got a kick out of them. This year however I haven't had the time to even start such a project, and with easter being just around the corner, I don't think it's going to happen.

Recently I have been working on a few sewing projects that various people have wanted me to do. One of the projects I have been working on is making a matching apron to the apron I made for our cousin's daughter for Valentines day. Now they will have matching mommy daughter aprons! How cute!
