holy crap

sorry for that...i just realized it is august 18th and i haven't done a thing about this here blog....sorry, if anyone is reading!

so the august theme is aprons and i was to post some links...here is what i've got...
i love this one.... tie one on... you can even follow her theme and post to both!

some other apron-y things:

the apronista
a flickr group for apron outfits

so...there you go...some apron inspiration (i hope!!!)

i guess we need a september theme...and taking that i need to update my wardrobe a bit...can we make it skirts?? i need some...alrighty.

for this round, could you please just email me your photos w/ info to mammaknits @ gmail (dot) com???? thanks...i want to keep the photos all together in sets, ya know??

alright back to making a pie...a wedding pie no less for my friend loren's wedding today!!! congratulations loren, rich and milja!!!

still time to bag it

needed a new look...the black was getting to me...so new template for now.

anyway...

got this free pattern for a knit market bag from knitty...check it out. this could totally be done in a day. i'll prove it!
here are some crochet versions.
love.free.patterns.

sorry this site has been a bit neglected. july was a crazy month...but we're back in the game. and market bags are a cinch, so come on and do it...you gotta week left. (and truth is, i'm still getting t-shirt photos...so, ya know)

anyway...i may be revamping the flickr group idea...its hard to manage a group in a way that i like...so that might be changing. i'll let y'all know.
meantime...have a good summer day.
