Come On Join me in The fun with this FUN!! Aprond Swap!!!
It is at Valerie P Yarnigras blog
Hot Drinks for Hot Mamas Apron SwapI quote Valerie's rules
If you decide to play along, this is is what is required:
1. *Create an apron (half or full) for your partner. There are loads of fun fabrics out there with tea pots, mugs, drink glasses, coffee beans, tea cups, etc. on them.
If you can't find the right fabric, you could applique, embroider, etc. Add at least one embellishment.
*if you cannot sew but want to play along, you may purchase an apron from one of the crafty people on etsy.
No store bought aprons please, they are not considered hand crafted.
2. Choose 3 'little somethings' they will like to go along with the apron.
Be creative, this isn't about how much money you can spend.
It is about sending someone a little package with a few surprises.
Some ideas include: fun cocktail napkins, recipe variations of their favorite hot drink, a kitchen/tea towel, singles of hot cocoa, tea or coffee, a bookmark or gently used novel you know they'll like, a fun hot pad in the shape of a cup or mug....etc.
3. Wrap everything in tissue with a simple ribbon before mailing.Check out their blog for hints, you may make a new friend!Deadline to sign up: Sep. 25th. I will email everyone their partners within a day or 2 after closing.
