My Favorite Little Model

Meet my favorite little model for a kiddie apron I made for my husband's best friend's little girl. This is Dedo (she was the smallest thing in our house that could model this apron so I could get a photo of it before I sent it off to the recipient who lives in Little Rock, Arkansas). Dedo is going on 15 years old this year - she's the "Old Lady" of the house. She may not look very thrilled to be modeling this very cute kiddie apron I made, but she was apparently loving it because she was purring up a storm at the time. I could barely hold her up straight because I was laughing so hard.

Note the very cute bunny buttons on the top of the apron. I scored those from a friend and ex-coworker who was a Katrina survivor. When she was able to get back to her house before making the permanent move to P-town, she found some of her sewing things still intact including some fabric and buttons (both of which she shared with me when she found out I also loved to sew - in return I made her a very cool apron which I will post some photos of hopefully in the near future).

I know, I have been very bad at blogging, but honestly, I looove to blog. I just have not had much time to blog or to spend in my sewing room because I recently made the decision to go back to school and have been busy trying to juggle three classes and a FT job since January this year (hence, the lack of blog posts since then). But I just made my first sale on Etsy from a very special customer and I am so excited about it that it has given me renewed energy to take some time out to blog some more!

Here is a close up photo of the cute bunny button detailing on the kiddie apron. Aren't they so cute?! Okay, please keep checking out my blog. I promise to be better about making regular posts!
