An Evening Walk Around The Yard


I am feeling so very blessed

as I walk around the yard

tonight.

Sure it's a lot of work

but the rewards are

so satisfying. 


















If you're still here . . .
Thanks so much for stopping by.

I hope you enjoyed tagging
along as I snapped these photos.

Have a lovely week
&
God Bless You All

Another New Apron

 




I made another apron

it's my new way of always

having my phone

with me around the house

and outside. 




This is the pattern

I used.

Only I rounded the bottom

hem on mine.




These are my outside

and reverse side 

fabrics. 




There is a lot of trimming

to do because of

the curses. 




Front




And Back.

No ties ๐Ÿ˜Š 

๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿšœ๐Ÿšœ

While I'm waiting on 

the lawnmower and tractor

to be repaired

I'm having fun sewing :)

๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชก

Wishing you all 

a wonderful week

and thank you for 

stopping by to visit.

Makeover Apron


 
I've had some unexpected
time to sew :)


The tractor has been giving
me trouble since
driving over an above ground
root and getting the blade stuck
a couple weeks ago.

So I decided to get it fixed
before it turned into
something harder to fix.
I also had him take my 
push mower.  It has been sitting
for about 6 years, 
but started right up.  
The only thing is that the 
self-propelled function
doesn't work.


Well, with those gone
they put yard work on hold.
โœ‚๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชกโœ‚
Time for fun with
the sewing machine.

  

This apron was a gift
from my sweet neighbor.
She gave it to me 
many years ago.
It is so cute but I 
haven't worn it much
because it's long waisted 
and has no pockets.
I love the flour sack look,
it's just my style :)



I shortened it up by
taking a tuck in the top
and adding a ruffle.
It did make me loose the 
pretty double blue stripe
and left an ugly pleat.



I've always heard that 
the best way to hide
something is to put it in
plain sight or draw 
attention to in. 
That's why I added the 
red heart buttons. 



As I said before it 
needed pockets.
One for my phone and 
one for doggy treats :)

Even since my fall
I am paying much more
attention to having my 
phone with me all the time.
๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ“ฑ๐Ÿ–๐Ÿ“ฑ
Wearing an apron is the 
prefect answer to that. 



Well, that's what I did
today . . . 

โœ‚๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชกโœ‚

It's nice to have a 
garden break . . .
if I can just keep
up with watering & weeding. 
I'll be good until the 
tractor gets fixed.

โœ‚๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชก๐Ÿชกโœ‚

Have a sweet day ๐Ÿ˜‡
