Sunday March 12th...


Well, I was alone for Creative Sunday this week, and you'd think I would have accomplished a lot...creatively speaking at any rate! I did clean a whole bunch, and re-did the mantle display to reflect the coming holiday (I also organized the library a bit).











I will be in Italy celebrating my birthday on the actual day of Easter this year...what an amazing way to celebrate! (thanks dad!)







And with all of the snow yesterday, I closed the shop a little early and spent the day sewing at my mom's house and finished my patchwork duvet cover. (much to everyone's relief as I was totally hogging the sewing machine...and vibrating the lampshade off the lamp)

























I loved the way it turned out...all heavy tapestry type material on one side and light cotton on the other...maybe one side for winter, one for summer?












And the best thing of all...





A new apron for a sock monkey!

This is for the Tie One On challenge this month.








I know what you're thinking...this monkey is already so fancy with all those pom-poms...but I figured she really needed an apron so she could help me out in the kitchen! She was tired after drying dishes...











And ironing
(you can bet it was that stack of vintage towels!)

















And finally...

baking on this fun snowy day!









We were so busy...I am hoping to make a matching apron for myself out of this fabric too...soon


Won't we look cute?

I love the monkey apron! That's so cute. I can't wait to see what you create for your sock monkey with the rhinestone eyes! A cocktail apron? The duvet cover looks really good too. And I love seeing all the old easter stuff again.What did you ever do before you got that mantel?
