Oh little chicks, how we enjoy everything about you!
 We love your little yellow bums
 The variety and uniqueness in your colorings
 How you cuddle up and sleep with your heads flopped down
 your stripes
 how you fit so perfectly in our hands and so trusting too

 We love to see your natural instincts of Mothering
 We love how the Mom-in-waiting soaks up the afternoon sun
and how you slip up hay and snuggle into your nest

Girls "True Blue" Apron

A friend of my daughter pointed to this blue fabric as her favorite, so her Mom asked if I could make it into an apron.  I was nervous about having enough fabric and how to put it together, but it quickly became one of my favorites! 


 Features some heart applique with hand blanket stitch on the double pockets.
 Double lace trim with blue flowers
 Buttons inside and out for option for securing the neck strap.  Also 4 buttonholes to grow along with the little girl.  Triple lined bib .
 Can be tied in the front when the child is younger
My model was being a bit of a monkey, but here it is on an 8 year old, yet it also fits my 11 year old, so hopefully they get a few years out of it.

Baker's Boy Apron #24

 Finished this special order for a fellow homeschooling friend's son.  I hope he enjoys creating in this!
I made lots of buttonholes for height adjustment and also a button on the inside and outside so there is some variety.  Ties in the back.
It has a small pencil pocket beside a treasure pocket (perhaps for a special rock or a match box car) and a divided pocket for anything else.
