Blooming kitchen apron

Welcome back after a long weekend - too long if you ask me, as it was totally overhelmed taking care of the sick little lady with her 40 degree fever. Luckily my husband helped me alot with our Dawdler, and so did our family and friends, visiting us and replacing us for a few moments in playing with Zu. Thanks everybody! You are irreplaceable. 

Due to this crazy weekend sickness I wasn't even able to show you the Icons for Follow Friday #2, not to mention a new post. But today is a good day to do that, so here you are: inspired by the visit of my friend, Asia - blooming kitchen apron.

You don't use a kitchen apron? Don't worry, I'll make one for you!

My dearest sister Ann and her husband is going to visit South America these days. What an adventure is waiting for them!!! (Oh! How jealous I am!) Before their departure we went to visit them last Sunday evening, and I have once again noticed (actually I have only confimed my prevoius observation) that my sister doesn't use the kitchen glove I made for her one day for her name day!!! 

When I visit Sokół, the kitchen glove and the apron I made for her new appartment looks like being used all around :-) And I love it! 

But, frankly speaking, I also accept the fact, that my dearest sister Ann doesn't have a need to use the kitchen accessories I made for her, although it is she who is cooking the most in our family (exept our Mom). I have to admit, that at the time I made these accessories for Ann as a gift, I was able to do only such things on my sewing machine. I loved the way the fabrics may be put together in different combination, and I thought my sister (or anybody else) would love it too. So there was a moment in my life, when I made only kitchen accessories gifts, no matter if the recipient needed such accessories or not, and no matter if he or she was going to use it or not :-) I didn't care as long as I loved the gifts I made by my hands. Well, I'll show you some of them, and you decide, whether I was right or not :-)

Bespoked gift for Maggie

Today I'd like to show you the gift I made for Maggie. It was my friend Kamila (hereinafter reffered to as: "Sokół" ;-) who asked me to do the gift. And she wanted to have a huge impact on what it would be done of. So at the begging we (read: mostle she ;-) have picked some fabrics from Craftfabric Store. Sokół choose the Cats, so the rest part of the gift had to be adjusted to the Cats...

My dearest Sokół was the first beneficiary of the kitchen apron and other kittchen accesories (see them here), and she loved it so much (I guess ;-) that she asked for a similiar one for Maggie.

Rising sewing lover

It has been for a long time now that I knew, crafting is what I love. I wasn't wrong, of course ;-) I realized that when it comes to sewing on the day of my 30'th birthday, as I got those simple sewing machine from my family. I started to sew right after the birthday cake! And here is what came out of it!
