ok...whew! I did it!!
ok..so who to tag...um....ok...Whoever reads this....is tagged! HA! there we go! that was easy!...
ok....I'm tired now....but first...
What I've been working on..um...

a surprise for my grandparents 50th annivarsary(Happy Anniversary guys!)(pictures when it is finished and presented to them)

I made two aprons, one I designed, one from an unused vintage/antique pattern.(pics below)
I have yet to make a donkey(vintage pattern) as well as 8 felt pins and an whole bunch of western styled mini aprons...whew! not to mention I need to restock my Etsy store!
oh! And a hankerchief.....haha, so that is 3 swaps, 1 order, and restocking...sounds
like I need to get busy!

Here we have to "made from a vintage pattern" apron.....in a size small, but I was able to adjust it up to a medium for this picture, as well as for the person who bought it.

This one is the one I made without a pattern, so to a point, I can say I designed it I suppose, haha, but really, the whole stretched out "V" design has been around a while!


So I guess for today that is about it...I'll be working on some things soon, so will be sure to take pictures, and hey....maybe I'll start posting everyday....don't go gettin' your hopes up though! :D

cheers,

I'm glad you've entered my event~ but I am afraid my aprons might not meet your standards. Promise not to check the seams to carefully... if you win that is.

Yeah! A new post! I diligently check every day. I guess I owe you an e-mail, don't I, hmmmmm. Oh well - glad to see what you've been up to and glad you are well.

Bella Modiste said...

Sandi, no! I'm sure your aprons are works of art!

Thank you for visiting my blog! I had to pop over and peek at yours -(curiosity killed the cat I know) and I think this is such an awesome event to meet new bloggers. Your aprons just are adorable, and your "tags" are awesome! (Those are hard to do!)

Bella Modiste said...

Thank you Artessa! Yeah, it's gets hard sometimes figuring out what exactly to say about myself! I'm that boring! rofl
cheers,

Kay-The Rustic Cottage said...

I thought I was the only one that hoarded fabric! You are too cute. And I love skittles too - although I don't break out. It would probably be better if I did. Then I wouldn't eat them.

Hugs,
Kay

Bella Modiste said...

Kay, Hoarding fabric is the best..cause then you can say "ooh, I can't use this fabric for that project, I need to go buy more!" rofl
cheers,

Your aprons are darling! :)

Farmhouse Blessings said...

You really have great taste in fabric choices. That is an art all by itself!

Beautiful work!

Bella Modiste said...

Wow Thanks everyone for the compliments on the aprons! My favorite by far has to be the pink one! I need to go back before the Valentine's fabric is all gone and get lots more of it, it was the prettiest our Joanns store had.

Thank you Sandra! I do enjoy making them, they look so great, but don't take as long as a garment!
cheers,
