Houses and More

November 2, 2010 By Spoonful of Sugar - 20 Comments

It has been a fun week, as another magazine arrived today that has a couple of my projects in it.

After making all those Advent Houses, I still had Houses on my brain, when I made up this Terrace Houses Utility Apron. It has three handy pockets for storing things while you sew.

It also includes my Knitting Project Roll.

I am off to the sewing room now to make up some flannel PJ Pants for Sarah and I , even though it is currently 37 Deg C outside! Sarah’s will be in red polka dot Bliss fabric (available from Pink Chalk Fabrics) and mine will be in Michael Miller Eiffel Tower fabric .  You never know when you might need warm PJ’s.

    My, what lovely projects! I think I may have to add PJ pants envy to my cricut envy …those materials are quite wonderful and would you believe I own two Annabel Trends aprons – one is red with white polkadots and the other is black with little white Eiffel Towers! What on earth are the chances of that!?

    It was 29 degrees in this neck of the woods last week and today we’ve been lucky to hit 16. I’d be wearing the snuggly jim jam versions, I reckon… (tres chic that touch of Paris sleepwear fabric).

    Your projects are always so lovely, the apron is great! And your Knitting Project Roll makes a wonderful Christmas gift! I’m about to make some of your Houses from last year’s Quilting Art Gifts, they’re so cute.

    Nice work on another magazine credit!

    I had no idea those Eiffel Towers came in flannel. What fun! You can never have too many pairs of pyjama pants. Or lounge pants, as I like to think of them when I have been wearing them well past midday.

    What a great apron! I’d be so happy wearing one like that. Love the Eiffel Tower fabric too… though nothing beats polka dots 🙂
    Congratulations on all the magazine appearances.
