I started blogging to give me motivation to start and complete (keyword!) projects. Being a professional momma is a constant 'work in progress' - and today I did my first sewing project since, I don't know, Girl Scouts? One of my friend's daughters is turning the big 3. Apparently that is when kiddos start imagining - so she is getting a kitchen set and I made her an apron to go with it. Julia taught me some valuable lessons with sewing - mainly, if you want to do it, have someone who knows what they're doing show you how to thread the machine from cutting corners to pockets! Also, patience is key. To make this apron we used some scrap curtain fabric, leftover wedding ribbon, pink ruffles & a iron-on kitty.
