So many colors, so little time

I don't do well with lots of choices.  The fewer the better, otherwise it's too overwhelming for me.  So when you drop me in a fabric store, it's overload.  All the pretty fabrics, the colors, the texture and jeepers, by the end, I've left with a lot of fabric and two patterns for an apron.  I bake, (which you knew, since you are reading my blog), therefore, I need an apron.  Or 5.  Not counting the one I already have.  And love.  Not only did I sew my butt off this weekend, but also discovered "iron on" glittery things.

First up, what really got the nonsense started was when I saw some Hello Kitty fabric.  Realistically, there are not many things I can wear, other than a cute shirt or sweatshirt that have Hello Kitty on it, without looking like a tween.  So, it hits me....an apron!


Not only is it Hello Kitty, but it's pink.  
Sigh, I've got no choice.   











Turns out when you pay $1.99 for a pattern, you get a $1.99 pattern.  Hated it.  Several key things left out, so I winged it.  I didn't want to pay $12.99 for a pattern since I didn't "need" any aprons.

But....I did buy one "just in case".  Cutest pattern ever.  I made this for one of my girly peeps.  Darn near kills me to not keep it. 



Who doesn't love dogs???  and purple fuzzy balls???  


More pink and some crazy bright happy lime green and hot pink flowers.  Just makes me happy.



I also discovered aprons, essentially, like a blank slate, to be blinged up as desired.

Thankfully Easter is coming up and I am planner, so let's plan ahead and have an apron ready to go.  (Here is the iron glitter nonsense that I am in love with).  Super easy bling.  and more lime green.  Just so bright and springy.


and finally, the last one...hearts, who doesn't love hearts?  Hearts are year round.  


Now, to hang some hooks so I can display them in the kitchen next to the older lonely (soon not be be lonely) apron.

And yes, even though this is a baking blog, I added these aprons since I wear them while I bake....see the tie in?  But as you know from this entry, it's not always about baking, but mainly it is.  

Want one for your very one?  Email me and I bet we can work something out!
