Spring

I'm so looking forward to the market starting back up! I know I miss my Saturday mornings and I hate getting up early, but I love chatting with everyone and selling aprons and veggies of course. I've come up with a few new recipes I need to post on the farm's blog. I think the less time I have to do something, the better I do - I seem to sew more under stress - great motivation! I do have at least one new pattern that I'm working on. Hopefully I'll have another soon - my sister picked up a vintage pattern for me at an antique store and I'm ready to get my hands on it!!! The new serger I got for Christmas is going to come in handy too!

Aprons

Here are some of my aprons. I sell these at the Memphis Farmers' Market and I take special orders too. To see a larger view of the aprons, just click on the picture. If you see one you like and would like more information about it, just post a comment.

This has got to be one of the cutest found pieces I've ever used for a pocket! It was a vintage hot pad and the apron now belongs to a shopper at the MCA Holiday Bazaar - hope they enjoy it!

This one use to be a tablecloth and a cocktail napkin (with a little new fabric in there too) and now it's a cute little apron! I love it. I always have a hard time letting them go, but it's easier when they go to a good home!!!
