First, I got my bookmarks from Messy Missy's bookmark swap. I love to read and love nice bookmarks...who wants to use a scrap of paper when you can use a origami Geisha Girl? Or a Diva on her way to an unfortunate accident with a vampire......Totally cute!
Then, I found a box on my door step....the box with the Alice In Wonderland apron swap apron.
The apron made by none other than Melinda...the super duper talented Melinda of Melinda'sfabricfancies!
I was so excited, I didn't want to open it. Does that make sense? I knew it would be awesome!
Before I show you the apron, here are some tuck ins she made for fun:
and this too.....which I wore to work already!
here is a close up I stole off her blog...my camera is suckish
and here is the apron....just click on the photo to see all the detail.
I wish I had a better camera...this photo just doesn't do the apron justice.
here is another close up I stole off her blog.....these are the legs before they were finished...those stripes? She did those with 2 spools of thread....the entire apron is thread painted...and it is GORGEOUS!
Melinda, you ROCK! Thank you!!!!
