I finally added the finishing touch to the cupcake apron. Don't know why it took me so long to get around to doing it...it took me maybe a 1/2 hour once I just sat down and put my mind to it.
All I did was add a little pocket. It's purely for decoration, as not even my tiny hand can fit in there.
This was my first foray into designing my own apron and it turned out ok...but there are plenty of mistakes with it. I just consider it a learning experience, and hey, it only cost me $3 for the fat quarter. I had all the other supplies.
And here's what I whipped up last night:
In an effort to not put any more holes in our apartment walls ( I'm sure all you renters out there understand) I put up corkboards. Which are held up by two pushpins, but, whatever.
I'm going to be using them for pics that give me inspiration and the like. Yay.
In other news...I am almost done with the Garter Yoke Cardigan. Almost. I feel like this has been taking me forever, but really, it's only been a little over two weeks. I suppose it's been because I have been distracted by all sorts of other projects. I checked my Ravelry projects the other day and I am up to 5 WIP's. That literally makes me a little sick to my stomach. Yes, literally. (I hate when people use that word improperly.) Time to finish up a few things to put my mind at ease.
Cute apron! I get a little itchy I have too many WIP's too. Time to get them out of my hair!

Super cute apron, and I love the corkboard idea! Yeah, I wish I had only 5 WIPs. Looking at my projects page makes me jumpy.

Those cork boards need a little something....OH! How about a picture of the cutest little muffin man in the world!?

Awww, I love both. Where did you get the fabric for the apron again?

You are such a crafty girl. I can picture you baking goodies in your cupcake apron and the corkboards are too cute.

I was at the fabric/craft store today and almost bought a whole booklet on aprons...I'm still so very new at sewing that I'm still intimidated by it. yours is super cute, love the embroidering. I can't believe it only took a fat quarter.
