Corn Relish and Pickles and Aprons - Oh My !!!!

Hello!

I have been busy this summer.  Haven't posted in a while - but plan to remedy that with a few things I have been making over the summer.  I would like to start with these.....I just love to can - remember my post about the Onion Jelly....Well, here are my newest endeavors.....Corn Relish and Refrigerator Pickles.  It was so fun.  I had picked up some corn at a local stand - bought way too much - and decided to make the relish.  Planning to use it this weekend as a dip with corn chips.  Hope everyone likes it. 

 Love the Pickles - have already finished off one jar.  So easy and yummy with lots of onions and bell peppers. 

 I have also been sewing a few things - have to keep busy.  These are aprons made from a leg of jeans.  Just cut along inside seam, open up and curve sides.  I am a big fan of oil cloth and have lots of pieces sitting around.  Thought it would be cute for the pockets.  A little bias tape and ribbon for ties and they are ready to go. 

Here is my second apron - with a visitor just as I snapped the picture.  Little Poof has really grown.....hope you like these as much as him - let me know what you think.....

The daughter of my friend has a new little baby girl so I made this little banner onesie for her. I think it turned out really cute and it's so easy to make. I ironed fusible web to back of rainbow colored fabrics then cut out the small triangle shapes.  After ironing them in place I outlined each with a blanket stitch of white floss.  They "hang" from a line created with white floss in a basic outline stitch.   

I added securely stitched buttons on either side for a bit of cuteness - and I was done.  The whole thing only took a couple of hours.  I hope she likes it...I'll let you know....let me know what you think...... 

Out the Door!!!!!!

In case you were wondering where I've been - I have been BUSY.....working on some projects for a friend.  This is how my kitchen has been for the past few weeks.....I would have worked in my clean studio (see other post) ...but I don't have cable in there....and I have to be able to watch Turner Classic Movies....

I designed and created 12 projects with steps-outs.....I loved every minute...it is so fun to design and create.  Will let you know how everything turns out later.

 No matter what size table I start out with - it seems I always end up with a 12" square to work in.....

Here they are....all ready to be shipped....My new little kitty - I named Little Poof......loved all the junk that fell on the floor - just more things to play with.  But now it's all cleaned up - ready for the next project.....
