a birthday bunting
A few weeks ago, my foodie loving, baking queen extraordinaire, gorgeous looking, and down right awesome friend celebrated her birthday. The lovely thing is that a few weeks prior we happened to laugh at the ridiculous apron she was using (oh if you had of seen it!) and my mind started racing....
.....then there was then some mention of a cute kitchen bunting that was admired somewhere in blogland...
.....and my mind started racing again. If you recall - last year, I made this after some discussion about how cute crocheted cushions were!
Well, with a thrifted vintage tea towel with the most gorgeous colours and beautiful bird print, some other retro inspired fabrics, a splash of doilies here and there and voila! One custom made Apron and matching Kitchen Bunting!
The tea towel was large enough to use as pockets on the apron (those lovely birds weren't going to get cut up!) and the rest made part of the bunging. I also struck it lucky at an op shop - a vintage Johnson plate!
Do you love making special gifts? I do! Especially a practical gift like an apron that will get used over and over!!!

Great Apron Swap 2010
I was so excited when a little parcel was delivered to my door yesterday afternoon! It was my apron from my swap partner Catherine in the Great Apron Swap 2010!
Look at the beautiful packaging and handmade card - it was so lovely i didn't want to open it...
But then I did and wow - what a surprise! A beautiful, stunning, double sided apron and a little Irish recipe book!
I love the fabrics Catherine chose and she has put a little pocket in the reverse fabric on either side and embellished the apron with gorgeous ric-rac and cute little daisies. The pink polka dot trim make it so fun and girly I don't think I will want to leave the kitchen!!!
I've posted my apron for Catherine the other day but wont post any pictures of it until she gets it!
Thanks Catherine for such a lovely Apron!
