Five Down - Three More to Do!

I am having a 'down' day today. It's actually my day off so I am still in my PJs but just pottering around doing a bit here and a bit there - nothing too tiring. I get periods of fatigue due to some ongoing health issues that I just have to deal with right now so I need one of these days every so often to help set me right. That's why I try to be so productive if and when I get an energy spurt which can be rare!

Despite that I do sometimes manage to get a few things done and today I have finally finished the aprons I've been working on. I couldn't quite manage it last night so had an early night instead and since I could take my time today I have now completed them. All 5 of them so that makes just 3 more to go if we want to do them all.

I am gonna enjoy wearing one of these cos the flower is so pretty. These aprons aren't too long either and have several pockets which come in handy for holding a few crafting tools when demo-ing.



I have enough pieces cut out to do the remaining 3 aprons and maybe even another flower or two. I quite like the idea of making a little pink canvas lunch bag for myself with this flower on the front - if you gotta 'brown bag it' you might as well have a pretty bag. I am also hoping to make Maddycakes an apron of her own and this would be 'oh so cute'? Think maybe I shall have to go fabric shopping for pink canvas fabric some time soon.

Last year at the all day workshop I made name badges for us all. This year I just might have to use one of my pretty flower nestabilities dies and make us pretty floral name badges to match.



The nested flower die on the left makes a fab flower and a circle sits real cute in the centre. We had an issue with pin backs last year but I found a whole bag of blank badges that this flower could be stuck to. My mind is running wild with ideas already. I just love anything to do with planning, decorating and co-ordinating stuff for parties or other events.
My project samples, hand out sheets and supply lists are all done so like I said earlier - I AM BEGINNING TO GET EXCITED!! I hope those of you lucky enough to have booked onto the day are starting to get excited too. I will share another sneak peek beginning of next week so watch this blog!
Well I am gonna get a cuppa and try to get something done in the kitchen. Hopefully that'll keep me goin till lunchtime and then maybe a nap this afternoon and another early night tonight might just see me right for the rest of the week.
