Happy Flowers





 Daffodils popping up in the garden joyfully herald the first days of Spring. Their bright yellow faces call me outside, invite me to bend down to delight in their sunny promise.

But, wait. There are a few more flowers in the garden today.


Pretty pink flowers with daffodil-yellow buttons and happy yellow ric-rac stitched for a little girl who will soon be three.


This little girl who loves having a "pea tarty" certainly needs a pretty apron while she helps her big sister  bake something delicious for tea.


It's reversible too, with more cookie cutter flower pockets on the other side.  


I had such fun using my fabric scraps to make this sweet little birthday gift for a sweet little girl. 

I found the pattern here.

A little USE the fabric scraps, DON'T LOSE THEM, and MAKE IT - DON'T BUY IT happening.

    1. After all the rains, I am not surprised your summer feels too short.

  3. I hope the frosts are over so they don't damage those blooms. Love the apron!

    1. Daffodils don't mind the frost, so they'll be ok. Do you recognize the fabric? Remember the junk swap in the park all those years ago? Some of that was from your stash. The pale pink had a bit of stenciling on it, and the pink checked one was yours too, I think.
