Here's a photo of one of my current favorite aprons....Take a dish towel (I bought mine at the Dollar Store of course.) and lay it vertically. Attach extra long apron strings (mine were 2 and a half inches wide and the entire width of the fabric). Finish off with some flowers made from scraps(same kind I used on my broach a couple of posts back). *I made the strings extra long so I could criss-cross them in the back and bring them around front to tie.

The Project that Started it All
A friend asked me for a photo of this wall so I decided to post it for her on the blog with a description of what it is.This is the project that started it all for me...The wall in my entry way.

I talked over the framing in of the photos with my husband and one night when I had returned home from my night class ViolA! there it was just like I had imagined it!
