Little Girl Presents

[muppetinma]

I got invited to a birthday party for my friend's two little girls. They're turning two and four. They already have way more toys than anybody needs, and will surely be getting tons more for their birthday. So, rather than adding to the piles of crap, I decided to do something a little different. I made them both aprons with their first initials on them. I'm putting them in a basket with cute cupcake liners, cake mix and frosting, candies, mixing spoons, etc. I still have to give the aprons a good ironing and snip some threads, but I'm really happy with how they turned out and wanted to share. Since I can't share on facebook (because we have too many of the same friends), I thought I'd be an attention whore and post the picture here.



They are fully lined and the back panel is the same purple polka dotted fabric as the straps and letter. I know that I'd be much happier with something like this than a bunch of barbie crap that they don't need. And at least this way, I know they're getting something they don't already have.

My friends keep bugging me to make an etsy shop. I just don't have the space to devote to it in the house, so that makes it hard. I make and sell stuff for my friends, but if I had to have a large number of things done at once or on definitive timeline, I think it'd be too hard. But who knows? I'm not having any luck finding employment outside of the home. Maybe I need to start working from my living room instead.

Do it! Those are adorable! I have a few SAHM friends who do that sort of thing and love it. I would totally buy those aprons as gifts.
