Time for a cuppa....

It's time for a cuppa,

Mr.Finn in his apron, helping me bake today.

cause against all odds, I finally finished my new pinnies for the shop.

I really wanted a plain denim pinnie just to throw over your basic pants and body tee, but once i got cutting and I couldn't resist adding some frou frou...
That's what we'd call garnish when i used to work with dad in the R.S.L kitchens...
Don't send that meal out without frou frou he'd say.

How could I send out a new frock without the frou frou too....

I sometimes think I can do conservative pieces, But I really can't. It's just not me.

So here's the new pinnie ready for the shop tomorrow, complete with contrast buttons and floral pocket detail.

Perfect with a plain body tee for warmth and even better with your fave red cardi.

I'm lovin' it.

Oh and by saying against all odds I meant, needle snapped, buttons not available and machine threatened to cark it on me.....

But all is well that ends well.
Amen to that.

  4. Oh, gorgeous! Are the lacy bits screenprinted? I thought of doing a doily screenprint, maybe I could sneak into your studio and 'borrow' your screen. :-D

  5. Where would it be without the froufrou? Gotta remember that. I am trying hard to make some plain folders, which is easier, but my natural self wants the foufrou tootoo. I think your decoration takes the pinny into the designer world. Cherrie
