It's a good thing this isn't a craft blog

If it were, I'd be in trouble (with whom, I know not) for so rarely posting on what I'm making! But since I know the Ry-bear reads, I don't feel so bad keeping my fabric-y side a little more sparse. =)

These are some of the projects I've been working on since July. I've had so many gifts for Fall birthdays as well as prepping for Christmas that I've been pumping them out faster than I can take pictures. Missing from these photos are the cute little bbq-chef aprons I made for two little boys. They were gray with bright yellow bias-tape trim, and a little flame-print fabric for the front slanted pocket. I've been pairing the aprons (boy and girl) with a spatula, spoon, or rolling pin (made for kids, of course), and adding a Betty Crocker Warm Delights mix in. It's basically a pop-it-in-the-microwave dessert, and is a just-add-water deal, so minimal mess, but the kid feels like he or she is cooking. The girl version of the apron... this is for my niece, Abby.
In the background, the Warm Delights that will go in with the aprons. I actually got one of these free, thanks to moneysavingmom.com... she pointed out a deal where I could sign up for a freebie!
A little red smock that will be paired with paints and brushes for a birthday party. A duplicate is going to my niece, Ava.

A backpack for my solitary nephew. =) It's a one-strap, drawstring top backpack with a large square bottom. Inside is a lego kit and a lego magazine (which came free!).
Up next? Hard to say. Depends on what I get done after our little forray out to the desert this week.
