YUMMY CUPCAKE APRONS!!!

YUMMY CUPCAKE APRONS!!!, originally uploaded by ModernJune.

How yummy are these? Do you like June's new dress? Very Modern June, don't you think?

Okay, here is a weird story about the word "yummy" and how I started using it...

When Don and I were married, we lived in the DC area where I made my living as a freelance costumer. I worked in all of the DC theaters (Arena Stage, Wolf Trap Opera, National Shakespeare), and I worked on as many movies as I could. In between the big jobs I did alterations and special projects. One of these special projects was for Patch Adams, Doctor and Clown. I added some pockets to one of his Doctor jackets that already had dozens of pockets (some were even waterproof pockets). When I met with him for his fitting, he kept calling everything YUMMY. I thought that was a very silly way of describing a garment, but it stuck! Here I am 13 years later calling my cupcake aprons YUMMY!

Some lovely shout outs for Modern June

This week Modern June is being featured on one of my favorite blogs...Note from my nest! There you will find a give away for the green cupcake apron seen above. I love these little sweeties and I am pleased to give one away!


Earlier this month I was part of a Mommies United Mega Review. Each of the four lovely mommies were given a Modern June splat mat to use and review and there is what they had to say....

Kristen from An Ordinary Life says...

Kai loves to paint and this large splat mat is perfect for under wherever she is painting.

Christine from Dates to diapers and beyond had this to say....

Modern June has a selection of chic splat mats made of oilcloth. These mats clean up easily and will last throughout the years. There are a variety of patterns and designs from which you can choose, and they are pretty enough to leave on the table after the messy painting projects are hanging to dry.
This is a woman that knows messy backward and forwards. She is a mom of 6 children under the age of 7! OH Yeah, from time to time that has got to be messy.

Amanda from Mommy Mandy made me smile when she said the following!

I can not even begin to tell you how many times we have used it, for art projects and every day messy eating. I love that it is so easy to clean and it is large enough to cover the surface under the girls table and chair set.

Shanda from the ever fabulous Parents with style blog made my day when she said...

One of the most helpful products we use in our house everyday...is a SPLAT MAT from MODERN JUNE! LOVE IT!...You could give one of these to a child for their first birthday and know the parents will thank you

I can't thank these five fabulous women enough! This truly makes all the hard work worth it!

Cupcake

Martha is having having cupcake week! OH MY! How yummy, check out this photo slideshow that she has featuring the wonderful cupcake shops around the country. The photos of the shops and the cupcakes are equally wonderful!

When I was a girl my birthday cake was always Strawberry with Pink Fluffy Icing. I have to say I really want to make these Strawberry cupcakes from Sprinkles! Strawberry puree has got to be much tastier than the red dye my mom used!


Great news for my cupcake aprons I found some wonderful green and blue polka dot fabric so the Cupcake Collection will soon be back in production next week! I miss my Cupcake Aprons a lot! In the mean time if you are in need of a cute present for a little girl don't forget Tutti Fruity Designs has an Exclusive Pink Cupcake Apron from Modern June

As you all might have noticed I have given up my quest to blog 365 days this year! Life got the better of me! We are having some hard times with Aidan, he is needing a lot of extra care of late. Blogging was the first thing to go. I have rearranged my schedule so I can sew early in the morning instead of typing. I miss chatting with you all. I won't go away for long but I won't be able to blog daily for now.


Now go make some cupcakes, I know I am!!!! Problem is not eating them all ; ) If the cupcakes you make are extra pretty take a chance at Martha's cupcake contest!

Pink Cupcakes are coming!

Back by popular demand! The Modern June Cupcake Apron will soon be available again in sweet yummy pink! The fabric is the exact same pink but has tiny little squares. Like sprinkles! I have tons in the works and I can't wait to show you the new and improved apron for the little girls. The new pattern covers more of the wee little lasses and is more like the Jane Apron Pattern Style that the Mommy version is made from. OH I love these! I am still working in just the right blue and green fabric hopefully I can get those back in production too!

Cupcakes anyone?

They're back!
Hot out of the oven? No the studio, silly!

I am day six!

Check it out!!! I am indie delights holiday gift guides pick for day six! Megan of Disquieting Designs and The Pittsburgh Craft Mafia has put together an incredible indie gift guide for your holiday shopping. ooh la la what fun, I love what they said about my shop name "may or may not actually be named Shop of Awesomeness". Man how sweet it that!


They featured my Green Cupcake Apron. I am glad that she picked that one, I have sold out of several aprons completely. I mean "no more fabric" kind of sold out. I am currently sewing a lot of the orders as they come in. STRESS, but I love it. I am NOT complaining. I could not have wished for better business it is beyond my wildest dreams.

So for Christmas I could really use any of the following products from the dear sweet Disquieting Design collection of Bath and Beauty products! All are on my holiday wish list! Oh I love the girl!
