I made this recipe box and apron as a gift for my niece’s bridal shower. The gift was one of a kind and came straight from my heart.

Sewing, not so much lately...but embroidering...Yes!  I was really excited and pleased that my Rhapsody of Reds embroidery pillow was liked by so many.  It inspired me to do another!!!  I designed a fall group that I am just in love with.  I can't quite tell you all about it yet, since it's not due out for a while, but I'm really really excited about it!  I'll give you a few clues.  It's fall inspired.  I painted all the designs.  Sunflowers are involved.  Ok..that's enough for now :)
