Aprons, Aprons, Aprons

As promised yesterday, I have finished 6 Apron and Baking Sets, which are all now in the SHOP .
I'm really pleased with these, especially with how it all looks packed away in their little totes. It just appeals to me so much with the tiny wooden utensils and the very cool metal cookie cutters.

Sorry for such a photo ladened post, but this was actually me being selective! I spent ages this morning desperately trying to photograph everything before the batteries ran out, the sun disappeared, the aprons disappeared (Bella thinks they're all hers) and the child self destructed. And actually managed to beat the odds and get quite a few relatively decent photo's, so it's very tempting to share each and every one with you. But I won't, because I'm good like that.

I always find it hard when my posts are ostensibly in order to show you things that I'm putting in the shop, because it's both a little embarressing and a lot self serving. I also never really know how to describe the work without sounding like a prat. So if you don't mind, I'm just going to leave you with the photo's and anyone that feels like giving me feedback  it as always, would be much appreciated.

Oh and I also just wanted to say to the bastard that stole my wallet today that I hope all your extremities shrivel up and drop off and that the milk in your fridge has big cheesy lumps in that you don't notice until you've taken a nice big gulp of it. You piece of walking crap.

You need not feel embarressed, you have a right to showcase your creativity. Sorry about your wallet, it happened to me several years ago and you feel so violated.:) Big laugh about the milk.

Oh, I love them, love them!!! Will have to save my cash. They are too cute! So sorry about the wallet, that is the worst. But again, the apron sets are too cute. I can't even pick a fav.

As for the scummy numbnut that stole your wallet! i think you said it so well yourself - hate it when bad things like that happen to nice people - hope you didnt lose anything irreplaceable

Somebody stole my Mum's purse when she was at a Karoake night at the local pub( don't ask). She saw the bloke do it, but being in her late seventies at the time, she was unable to give chase.
A few weeks later, she saw the same said bloke in the high street, and before he knew what had hit him - she whacked him in the nuts with her handbag and shouted 'You're the bastard that stole my purse'
Girl power.

Isnt it horrible when that happens. I had mine stolen when Isabelle was about 2 yrs old, and it was my birthday. They took the whole bag though and then they went and took an old lady's bag too. Horrible people! I loove those aprons and the baking sets are just so adorable.

[Sue]

I love them all, Manda. I just wish I had someone to buy one for!

[shula]

What is a blog, if not a place for shameless self-promotion.

The apron combos are also incredibly beautiful.

And a pox upon the wallet thief...

[Miss Dot]

oh you crack me up! maybe we should all put a little note in our wallets that says exactly that!!!! you go girl!

[Alicia]

I love the aprons! Just wondering if you would mind sharing where you got the apple/pear fabric... I've been hunting EVERYWHERE for a cool apple fabric! Thanks!

[futuregirl]

Your mini rant is HILARIOUS ... sorry you had your wallet stolen, though. :(

[Nichola]

So sorry about your wallet. People are shit's aren't they? I had mine stolen from my sleeping baby's pushchair in a fabric shop last year. Good job i didn't catch her for her sake, i'd have wrapped a bolt of fabric around her neck!

[Michelle]

Beautiful!!!!!!

[sadira]

I just made a skirt out of that lemon material...and I love it! How fun it is in an apron as well...How horrible about your wallet...what is wrong with people?

[Toni]

You are a machine, woman! Look at all the stuff you crank out. Really wonderful.

Don't ever apologize for too many photos. I love them. And no, I don't think you are being self serving. Just sharing what you do, like the rest of us.

Sorry about your wallet. Major bummer.

Hi Manda! The Aprons are magnificent! If I wasnt a pauper at the moment Id def buy one, but its the boys birthdays this month and next, as well as country living and various other craft shows I need materials for (grrrrrrrrrr)! But Well Done - They are great and I too love the fabric combo.
Hope you have a better day with personal items. xxx

The aprons are lovely. There is a special place in hell for people who steal wallets >:(

[Rachael]

"piece of walking crap" *CLAP CLAP CLAP* that was awesome!

[rebecca]

Don't all those aprons look lovely together - impressive work!

Sorry to hear about you wallet though, here's hoping extremities are dropping as we speak!

[Péitseoga]

the lemony apron is my favourite!
and the guy that stole your wallet should have watched 'my name is earl'! he should have known that anything he will buy with the stolen money will bring him bad luck in the long run. in some way. ha.
