Hooray!  They are done.  Just barely in time.  If you are ever thinking of sewing for hours and hours with a sinus headache I strongly recommend against it.  I survived and the aprons fared pretty well.  Only one run in with the seam ripper.  A new record.  As I was sitting at the machine, dosed up on  Dayquil and garlic, boo hooing my fever and general crummy feeling-ness I got to thinking about Project Runway.  They create elaborate entire outfits from scratch without patterns in about a quarter of the time it took me to make seven simple aprons.  They must be robots or have a secret crew of elves or mice finishing their garments off camera.  Off to crash on the couch.  Hoping I don't have to see chocolate brown thread for a long, long time.


I am a horrible person!  I am soooo late in getting two wedding presents out.  Crazy late.  Like the bride and groom are probably wondering what is the deal with us, late.  I ran out of zeroes a while ago and kind of forgot to finish the signs.  Mind you I have finished many many signs for Etsy with zeroes since then.  Both of them were just sitting forgotten in my garage, sad and lonely.  Wanting to go to a newlywed's new home.  So today I decided to get my act together and finish them.  They were drying in the backyard and I was feeling pretty good about myself.  I figured that if they have a year to get thank you notes out, I can be a few months late with a present right?  So while I was waiting for them to dry I ran out to the mailbox.  You would not even believe what was in there!  A beautiful card from one of the couples thanking us for "coming to the wedding"!!!!!!!!!  I just about died!  They have already sent out their cards, we haven't given them a present and they are thanking us for coming to the wedding!  So sorry N & C!  Your sign is on its way!
