My new Project - Store Apron

I've been thinking about designing a Store T-Shirt and then decided to make an apron to wear in the shop. Loew-Cornell makes this affordable blank adult apron. But as you can see, it is blank, no pocket nothing. lol. So I've decided to CrossStitch "Cook's Crafts" along the top, maybe put some hand prints in paint on it, put some beads around the edge or collor and crochet a pocket. Well I had some scrap left of Potpourri Print Handicrafters Cotton yarn so I crocheted this little pocket. But thats as far as I've gotten so far. I'll update you all as I go along.

Friendship Bracelets & Lanyard Keychains

Every summer sales of lanyard and floss go up. Kids of all ages love to make bracelets and keychains. Since money is tight all around I'm having a few specials right now.

First up is lanyard spool. Mini spools are $.79 each but if you buy 5 you get one free.

And don't forget that I did a youtube video showing how to start the basic box.

Second is Friendship bracelets. Any thread or cord will work but the most popular is the embroidery floss because of the shine and resilience. If you make a lot of them consider buying the packs. For only $4.49 you get 36 skeins. If you bought them all separately you would spend over $20.

There are plenty of places to find instructions online. Here are just a few of my favorite links.
