The Great Apron Swap 2010

Afew months ago I signed up for the Great Apron Swap hosted by Sarah from Red Gingham.  I was very excited to be partnered with Julie from Swedish House - my apron would be going to someone on the other side of the world!! 

Well I recently received the apron that Julie made for me and what a beauty it is!

Julie described it as a crafting apron, and to me that is exactly what it is. 

Something to wear while I'm crafting up a storm - perfect for keeping off those pesky bits of thread which seem to have a habit of clinging to my clothes, and pockets to stash scissors and the like so they are always near to hand!

I really love this style of apron, and the embellishments.

 

I mean how cute are those two little birdies cut from vintage fabric.

And the love heart is just perfect.

 

But best of all I love the Sweden badge. 

Every time I wear this apron I will be reminded of how far it has travelled, made especially for me,

by someone I've only ever met on-line.

I gave a sneek peak of the apron I made for Julie back in May;

here it is in all it's glory!

Thank you so much Julie, I hope you love your apron as much as I love mine.

And of course a big thank you to Sarah for hosting and organising this swap
