I didn't see that coming.....:)

 I'm always so overwhelmed when God showers blessings on  me.  One day last week a lovely woman from Texas bought 4 hostess aprons from my etsy shop. The next morning she contacted me and asked if I had any more. I emailed her pictures of my fabrics and she ordered 3 more. So I made the 3 she wanted plus a few more to list.  A day later she bought the other 4 that I had just listed! Yep....that's 11 aprons! I still can't believe it! At the moment I only have 3 listed so I need to get busy and re-stock before Friday so that my lucky winner will have a good selection to choose from.




(Don't forget to leave a comment on yesterday's blog post for a chance to win either an apron like these or the upcycled tote bag!)



















So now I have cash in my paypal account. Oh what to do??? What to do???? 
Naturally I popped over to Joann's this morning and purchased a gathering foot for my machine that I have been wanting needing and picked up a cute bag pattern on sale ( cuz you can never have too many of those..right?). Then after watching my grandson's Hip Hop class performance it was back home for lunch and then off to M & L yardage where I spent 2 hours pushing my cart through the isles of yummy fabrics for some more aprons as well as a birthday giftie I was asked to make. I'm hoping that tomorrow will be a sewing filled afternoon!
