cherrylicious


cherrylicious, originally uploaded by ModernJune.


I get loads of wisdom from my wee ones.

Like...

"Your studio was better arranged the old way." said Aidan in the car one day. He was so right, I rearranged the room the next day.

And "You should just go down and sew because the faster you get to work the faster you will be done." said Maddie when I was sick earlier this week

But the best one so far was last night when all I wanted was to go to bed instead of cutting out my remaining cherrylicious apron orders....

"You know what you should do Mommy? You should design a totally new apron, ( I LOL) no really with new fabric and a new shape. You should do that now."

Oh my! that cracked me up. And the funny thing is he was right again, that was exactly what I do to keep it fresh. When I have a hard time getting something completed I often need to make some thing totally out of the blue instead of finishing the order. This way I can actually go back and do the order really well, I am all refreshed and back to my crafty goodness. It is like my version of writers block I guess. Well I did not take his advise this time but I am taking Maddies! Cherry aprons are on the way!

FYI I am making an extra diner apron so if you want one for Christmas tell that man of yours to go and grab it quick!

Order Up!

Modern Polly Pocket!


UPDATE: This is my Saturday November 3rd post! I didn't want to break my moblopomo 07 pledge on the third day! I knew that driving up to DC for the show I would not have blog time so I did it the night before and then posted it in the morning before I left. But the date was listed as Friday! NOT FAIR, blogger! So that is my excuse! Third day and I am making excuses for a silly online pledge thingy! I need more sleep!

Maddie made Polly pocket go Modern June! The apron was hand made with love is out of polymer clay. I don't think we will be baking the poor girl, but I will cherish her until she needs a new outfit!

"For you mommy!" some of momma's favorite words! She made this for me since she knew I was in my pre-show-stress-mode! Oh mommy guilt you are a bear! I love the kerchief on her head. Who knew Polly Pocket was a housewife?
