Well it feels that way at the moment. I’ve begun working as a barmaid, at a bowling club which means lots of lovely old folks. It feels good to be out and working again, making new friends and being useful.

 At this stage there is no apron as part of the uniform, but I plan to work on that. A little black apron with pockets is on the cards. My black work pants are sans pockets, and an apron would be lovely.

I was so happy to sell some of my aprons this week! So the packing and sending of those has taken a little while, then there’s the vintage sheet swap I’m participating in. Sorry, I don’t have a link, I have lost it myself! I’ve been finding, washing, ironing, cutting, ironing and folding vintage sheet fat quarters a little laborious I must admit. It will be wonderful to recieve my parcel of different fqs though!

Then there’s the snailblazer swap I mentioned a few posts back. I’m making aprons for that too (no surprises here right?) and bought some fabric today. So I’m going to be busy making 10 ladies aprons in the next month. It will be fun to create the design though, which simply must be super cute. I’m loving Snailblazer’s travellers. They are gorgeous and such a great idea. I’m so tempted to by a couple for the kids to put away. They’re a bit young just yet.

Oh, and this morning I woke up at 6am BY CHOICE, although the kids both slept through(!) to ensure I won this baby on ebay. Cute huh? Oh ebay, I have missed you.

And, the gorgeous thing (well one of) taking up the majority of my time? This little fella. He is a singing and dancing delight. So full of questions and hilarity.
