Short 'n' Sweet!

good afternoon!

it's warm enough outside,
the sun is shining
but there's a cold breeze biting
and my fingers are freezing
and keep tripping over one another...
i think i need a pair of those fingerless gloves,
the keyboard keeps sucking the warmth out of them..brrr!

at least i was sitting in the sunshine
when i was sewing earlier...
so my brain didn't freeze..hehe!


this apron's short 'n' sweet..
kind of 'curly pops' colours i think!

mostly my aprons have length for long peeps
but this ones for the shorties.



there's a pocket there somewhere
and a teatowel loop as well...

and a delicious bit of white ricrac trimming the waistband!




light and summery
this fine cotton
was flouncing on the cool breeze...



sporting a hem trim purchased from 'beach vintage'!

the waistband is trimmer for the slightly slimmer
but the ties are just as long as ever...



in fact i think you could tie several kids
on to your apron strings with these!!

after taking these pics
i went around to the sunny side of the house
&
caught sight of these...


they are miniature chrysanthemums...
small 'n' sweet,
and just the right shade of pink
to match my apron!

i'm wishing you all
a sunshiney weekend with
warm hands
&
warm hearts...

naturally Carol xox


ps..this one's into the 'madeit' shop too...just in case someone petite
wants an apron short 'n' sweet!

  9. A gorgeous post Carol. That apron is way too delightful to use... I couldn't bear to get mess on it. It's more of an accessory for an outfit in my opinion. Beautiful coloured chrysanthemums, I don't think I've seen ones quite so rich and dark in colour. Have a lovely weekend Carol :o)
