It's a Rooster Party! Cock-a-doodle-doo! Barb at Bella Vista http://barbsgoodlife.blogspot.com

is hosting a Show Us Your Rooster Party! Visit her blog and see the 100+ participants showing all of their Rooster's.

I just recently finished an apron for my sister that has some cute rooster prints.

It has such lovely bright colors in the pattern and the roosters are really cute.

This is my 4th of July Rooster. He just looks sooo cute in his 4th of July outfit.

The next two pics are some of my great garage sale finds.

But the top Rooster at our cottage is Julio Iglesias. Here he is with the number one Hen, Ms. Lucy. He loves to strut around to show off in front of the girls.

Here he is showing off.

Hope you enjoyed my Rooster's. Now go over and visit Barb at Bella Vista!

~~HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!!~~

Happy Pink Saturday! Sorry for being a little late. I had computer problems. I wanted to show the aprons I recently sewed. This one has some pretty pink cupcakes This one has some lovely little pink flowers. The print just looks so vintage to me. Kind of reminds me of my Grandmother's apron.

Hope everyone is enjoying Pink Saturday. Now go on over and visit Beverly at How Sweet the Sound http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com and see who all are showing their PINKNESS!

I Just Love Aprons

I have just been in the sewing mood. I found soooo many cute apron patterns. I must have at least 21 different patterns. I just love this pattern, it is so easy to sew. My sister requested an apron for her friend . We were at Wal Mart and she found this cute print. I also made one for her friends little daughter, so now they have a Mommy and daughter apron set.

Now back to the print of this material. If you look close you will see that it has to do with Elvis Presley's Army information. Now how cool it that! So you know I also had to get some of that material for myself.

I also made a flirty apron for my sister. I thought this was soooo cute with all of the ruffles.

Well, that is how I spent my week, sewing aprons. There is always room for another apron.

Hugs :)

HAPPY PINK SATURDAY!

For this Pink Saturday I will show you 2 of the aprons I made for my sister. I just love this one because of the cupcake pattern.This one is also cute because it has crowns and and says princess.

This is my one pink flower I have. All of the others just wilted away in the heat.

Hope everyone is enjoying this weekend. Please go and visit Beverly at How Sweet The Sound http://howsweetthesound.typepad.com and see who all are participating in PINK SATURDAY.

NEW APRON SWAP AND MY APRON HAS ARRIVED!!!

If you are interested in entering a new apron swap...head on over to "Booming Aprons" http://boomingaprons.blogspot.com
and get details to join...DEADLINE IS JUNE 30TH, so you still have plenty of time to join in the fun.

Yahoo! Guess what I received in the mail today, yep, my apron from the Patriotic Apron Swap. It is just adorable. I had to try it on as soon as I opened the package. It was so nicely wrapped in red tissue paper and tied with a navy blue ribbon which I know I will be using in some craft and some paper napkins with a BBQ grilling print, really cute. Her short story on how her family celebrates the 4Th of July was very interesting and sounds like so much fun. Now I will have to give grilling chicken another try again, hopefully, I won't burn it like last time. Heather was my secret swap partner and she has advised me that this is a "Good Luck Apron" so I won't have any grilling problems. Thanks Heather for such a lovely apron and for bringing me some "Good Luck Grilling."

End of Flirty Apron Swap and Thank You's

Well, the Celebrating Independence Flirty Apron Swap 2 has come to an end. Below is a picture of the apron I made for my partner. I mailed it out today. I hope she likes it. I also made an apron for her dish soap bottle. Oops! I forgot to post the picture of it. I really liked this pattern, its from See & Sew #B5125. I want to thank Wanda from The Rat's Pajamas for the Tag Kit she sent me. It was so sweet of her to send everyone who left a comment on her blog during the "2nd Annual Cottage Charm Giveaway" this sweet Tag Kit. I can't wait to start making some tags using all of the goodies she included.

I also want to thank Tina at Garden Goose for the nice giveaway she had. I really love this print of the girl with a kitty cat. This is a copy of one of her mother's paintings. It's just so cute. Sorry for the glare, I left it in the plastic sleeve when I took the picture.

I also want to thank RoseMarie at Sugarplum Cottage for the nice giveaway she had. I can't wait to decorate with it during the Fall months.

I've been late in sending out all of these thank you's and I apologize for this. I just have not been able to get into a schedule of when to blog and when to do the things I need to do around the house. I just feel so overwhelmed at this time. So many things to do and just don't know where to start.

Our garden seems to be coming to an end. I pulled all of our corn stalks and gave them to my neighbor for her cows to enjoy some greens. It has been so hot and dry that we only harvested at the most one dozen of the corn and they all did not have complete kernels on the cob. Very sad. I think this must have been due to the hot dry weather we have been having. Maybe next time our corn crop will be better. We did enjoy plenty of squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, peppers , onions and green beans. I guess it will soon be time to start preparing my seedlings for our fall garden at the end of July.

Also, keep checking in as my Birthday is coming up in July and I am planning a giveaway. In fact this will be my first giveaway. Yipee! I'm so excited.

Received My Flirty Apron! WOW!

I received my apron from my swap partner Deb at crochetoholic. OMG! the work she put into this apron is just Fabulous! I Lovvvve my apron, and all the goodies she enclosed. It was all wrapped in pretty pink scallopped tissue paper with a beautiful pink ribbon bow. Thanks again Deb, not only did I get the apron and goodies, but have acquired a new blogging friend.

Hugs :)

I love sewing aprons

This is the apron I made for my swap partner in the Flirty Apron Swap. I mailed it to my swap partner today. I hope she likes it. (Don't know why my picture came out side ways, I guess I will figure it out later). I really enjoyed sewing this apron that I decided to make three more. They are not complete yet as I'm working on all three to finish them up. Will post pics of them later.
