So since yesterday the weather was crummy up here and Mike was worn out, I did get to make stuff.
It was a goal to make Mike an apron this summer, but when I saw this blue jean one at Hob Lob for less than $5 I knew this was the only way to go. I only hope daddy doesn't think it is too
girly!
Speaking of
girly... I got this idea from
Small Words, but I really wanted to copy the fabric I used for her room. I do not think it will go over her crib like I had planned, but I will use it somewhere! It was sure fun to do. I bought the canvas from Big Lots for $5 and had all the paint- so not to shabby! By the way, they have 12X12 canvases for $5 and a pack of three assortment sizes for $8... so any of then are still cheaper than the
craft stores on sale!

All of it turned out really cute! I don't think the apron's too girly. It kind of reminds me of something a carpenter would wear. If Adam thinks it's too girly, maybe you could go to Home Depot and use one of their orange carpenter aprons?
ReplyDeleteOh, that would have been such a cute idea!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great idea, Erin - and tomorrow is a Home Depot kids day so you could go get one! I love the name sign - did you paint the whole thing - or is that fabric around the edge? You were so productive on that rainy day!
