Good Morning!






The perfect brunch accessory! The vintage-style print inspired the tie pockets and sweet lace trim. One of the pockets has a patterned strip and the other has some coffee action!

Manly McHardchest!







Honestly, the pictures speak for themselves. (!!!)

Super Sassy







I am so in love with this apron! The print is hilarious, and it contrasts great with the deep teal backing and ties. The pockets came out just the way I envisioned, and the little bit of the inside you see is the same cheery yellow gingham that I made the ruffle out of.

SO MAGICAL!!!!






Another amazing Alexander Henry print! ("Storybook Pony" in pink) The backing and ties are a sweet baby blue, and the pockets are pink with a lacey overlay. The ribbon ties add the perfect outlandishness!

Cranking out the Aprons!

This past July, the Kitchen Sink Society put on "Handmade Heatwave" at Geno's Rock Club. It was a TON of work, and I spent so much time working, I had almost no time to take pictures. These are from the camera on my mac:



Love, love, LOVE this apron!!! I was totally stuck on what to do with this lime green animal print. I took the question to facebook, and amongst the suggestions from my amazing friends, hot pink lace instantly struck me. Luckily, I found some on ebay. So rock and roll!!



SHARKS EFFING RULE!!!! This fabric is ridiculous! The different red tones are intense and some of the sharks have bloody spit in their mouths! So awesome. I softened it up with the black lace for the perfect contrast.



Not the best photo, but this is a Virgin of Guadalupe fabric that I received as a gift. The pocket is a diamond shape, with the top corner held down with a pretty pink rose button.

More to come!!

Remembering the potholder weekend....

My cohort () and I signed up to attend the South End Open Market this summer. In preparation, I spent a weekend last spring churning out potholders. I made 2 or 3 sets of each.





Pegasus and Unicorns with pink backing.



SHARKS!!



Mixtapes. I love how geometric this print is!



Boomboxes yo!
